Day 19 of 33
Today was by far the busiest work day I’ve had since the start of the challenge. I took my son to kindergarten and then cycled to work. It was a great morning, but then I worked for about 12 hours straight. That was quite draining. …

Day 18 of 33
Challenge checkpoints become easier and easier. Still a little anxiety over fears of not completing them, but that’s all it is. Me being anxious. My past history of failure is such a huge weight on my shoulders, it would be amazing if I wasn’t a…

Day 17 of 33
Great day, spent a lot of it with my son and also visited my friend. Spent hours talking to my childhood friend sharing past and current experiences. We all need this kind of connection and I am grateful that I get to share it with…

Day 16 of 33
This is the first time I’m writing the blog post in the middle of the day. I had the urge to write when I saw my results. I have toenail fungus! Yay! Weird, because I am genuinely happy to get these results. I had spoken…

Another busy work day with tons of things going on. If it wasn’t for this challenge, I doubt I would find the time and the energy to do anything self improvement wise. Happy and grateful to have the challenge to keep my on track. I…

Day 14 of 33
Yesterday my workout was so so, but the learning and photography were amazing. Today it’s exactly the opposite. Maybe it’s a kind of micro-burnout or I don’t know what it is. Today I over-compensated with the learning stuff, while other things I am not proud…

Day 13 of 33
Normal work day, meetings and other stuff. I managed to fit in my studies and a workout. Not too happy about the studies, didn’t feel like I did enough. But happy I at least did my minimum. Calorie counting didn’t happen today at all. It’s…

Day 12 of 33
Started off today with tracking my calories. Discovered that my harmless looking sandwich breakfast is actually 700ish calories. Did the same for lunch, but by dinner fell off the tracking wagon, because I ate some ready food from a local shop and I couldn’t find…

Day 11 of 33
Found it very difficult to motivate myself today to do anything. My weight hasn’t moved in the last 11 days and I find that really depressing, considering I haven’t cheated. I was hoping avoiding sugar would have more of an effect, but I guess it’s…

Day 10 of 33
Today is a fun trip day. We went to Jelgava with the some friends. My son got to make some candy and we spent a bunch of time playing. While they were making candy, I managed to take some nice shots and studied a little…

Day 9 of 33
Day nine is a weird one, felt like a busy day, but if I have to be specific I didn’t actually accomplish much. The checklist keeps me honest and these 9 days have been the easiest for me diet wise, avoiding sugar usually is a…

Day 8 of 33
Fun, busy day. Cycled to the kindergarten with my son today in the morning and then I cycled to Jurmala and back. The cycling drained me physically (I haven’t done this distance for over a month now) however it also charged me mentally. Cycling is…
