Check in day 4

 Taking my progress pic this morning was disheartening. I have not taken a full, long look at myself in a long while. I was confronted with all my bad choices held in my body. The cellulite fold in the crease of my upper arm, the padded belly, and the rounded hips. I did not take the time to look in the rearview mirror! That might be too much this early in the morning. When I come home, I can think about how to attack that under arm fat. I have been thinking about joining a Pilates class or something to help me hit the resistance training. 

I accept that I am doing 75Hard the way it is supposed to be but I am doing my best. I am raising awareness and I will never tell or publish that I completed 75 Hard like some on social media do. They will say I completed 75 Hard! I did not drink the water, or do two workouts, and the diet was too triggering so I changed all that! Well then you did not do it. I am aware of that and it is not what I am doing. I see the purity of the program if you were to do it exactly. Right now it is out of reach so I will use it as a backbone and adjust. 

2 workouts-count daily 10k+ steps as a workout but also go for an hour. I will try to do better. I was thinking this morning that I could do 30 minutes from 5:30-6 but then I was like..."that doesn't meet the requirements!" well, hello, neither does counting 10k steps. I will figure it out this weekend. 

water-going well

reading-going well plus listening to audible

body-arm pit fat, hip and low back hurt but what's new?

Diet-not bad but why do I feel so bloated? I was hoping by today I would feel my gut lining healing and less bloated. Maybe because I had those protein balls with oatmeal that was uncooked. It is sitting in my gut. 

Today

Feeling really good. I came home from my runs and made dinner then shower and clean up the kitchen and one closet. Massage on the hamstring and now dead. 

Sae asked if I was interested in running a 24 hour ultra at Wawayanda. We would begin Friday at noon and go until
