75 Day Challenge - Day 6 Check In
I know why they call it the 75 Hard challenge... because it is hard! It definitely takes dedication and focus, all of which I am looking to improve. As I enter my 7th day, I can honestly say I feel so much lighter. I feel like I have spent so much more time off of social media. I feel more present. I feel like I am taking more control over my well being and truly thinking about all the feelings associated. If I am going to do this, it would be a huge miss not self reflect. The whole purpose of this is to take me to the next level of self growth. I am loving the new learnings in regards to my mind and body and this is just the beginning.
I can positively say my mornings look completely different, and are no longer spent on social media due to my reading, and I love that! I personally feel reading and writing has started to set the tone for a strong, thoughtful day. When I start the day on social media it almost turns into a day of only social media like I can't disconnect and then I come down on myself for not accomplishing the tasks on the to-do list. I do have to say though, this has been gradually changing as I found the most perfect agenda book that I rely heavily on. It's a colorful masterpiece that keeps my mind moving forward, while not overwhelming my thoughts. That use to be a huge issue for me. I knew all the things I needed to accomplish for the Mizzy Bender brand, but I always felt overwhelmed as one person. But now I feel like I have finally figured it out. It was like all the years leading up to now was training, now I'm ready to hit the ground running with all that knowledge. It's an explosion of excrement in my soul and to keep that excitement going means balance. Another thing the 75 day challenge is providing me.
75 Hard Meal Plan
Ok, lets get serious about the food thoughts right now. This may sound silly, but I think I have officially understood that what we put in our bodies really matters. As you may have read, this past weekend, I ate sweet treats, ice cream, pizza and Chinese food. Its undecided if I stayed within my calories per my "any diet" choice, but what's done is done. What I do know is that my body totally held on to the salt and whatever else, because gaining 3-4 pounds in the 1-2 days leading into Mondays weigh in, was crazy! The first thing to note is that I did not freak out that the scale said 14o. I gave my self flexibility in the sense that I knew I over indulged and I needed a day or two to balance out. Going forward, I am certainly picking and choosing when I have meals like this. A good learning with direct correlation back, really making an impact in my brain.
To help my body regroup from Sunday, I fasted from Sunday night into Monday afternoon. I think I broke my fast around 4pm with an apple. A delicious little snack. Whenever I eat not so healthy things, or after a travel weekend, I always fast. I feel like its a good reset to my digestive system.
For dinner, we started back up with Factor meals, so I had Garlic chicken with mashed potato and green beans. The entire meal was 460 calories, 41g of protein, 23 g carbs and 20 g fats. Its pretty balanced for what my macros are.
