#75HARD DAY 10/Monday Fasting

Long story short: #75Hard ✅Monday Water Fast ✅
Now tomorrow morning I'm having a fruit smoothie!!!

Good night!

☮

March 23 Fast has started

Here are some things to think about as we fast today:

• Eat no solid food at all today.  When you feel hungry, drink some water, juice or make a smoothie by blending some greens, fruit and juice.

• Who is stronger?  You ... or that small piece of food?

• When you feel hungry, count the hours remaining until bedtime.  You can eat when you wake up, no matter how early that is.

• How can you busy yourself today?  Sew, knit, work a puzzle, play or listen to music, read a book, watch movies (not TV), lay out in the sun,  ... what?

• If you lived in a country with a lack of food, you may only get to eat every few days.  This fast will only last for one day!

 

• How will you reward yourself for making it through this day without eating?  A special food treat?  Dinner out?  Buy yourself something special?  A movie or theatre show?  What?

#75HARD DAY 8

To say the least, it is still a daily challenge. Day 8 is complete.
Stuck to the diet. ✅
2-45 min workouts. ✅
Read 10 pages of non-fiction. ✅
Drink 1gal of water. ✅
No Cheat meals. ✅
Progress Picture.✅

This is how I try to start the day. Oh well.

This is what happens when you add molasses to your oatmeal for breakfast. Yes, it was good.

Just a little pre-ride snack

You already know. Put on the uniform and go for a 40-mile ride.

And the sign says "School is out until further notice."

#75HARD DAY 7

Wow! Wow! Wow!  Day 7!  I'll make it quick.  I need to start drinking my water earlier. Other than that the usual rice dish in the morning. The leftover rice is now gone. Waste not.  I had a smoothie and soul-fu sandwich after my morning ride. Salsa and chips for my afternoon snack.  After I finish this little bit of water I'm going for some fresh pineapple, do some laundry and call a night.  I'll check back in tomorrow.  Peace

Pre-ride photo. If you put the uniform on you must go for a ride.

New housing all over the place.

This building is my favorite. The address is 1975, the year I graduated from high school. A lot of treasured moments with some very special people.

 Soul-fu [smoke tofu, smoke vegan cheese, pickle, vegan bread, mustard] and Smoothie [orange juice, pomegranate, sea moss, and black berries]

#75HARD DAY 6

Yeah, I know it's early.  Today was one of those days.  Got up early, bowed down to the creator.  A little later for breakfast, I had rice, pumpkin seed, honey, and cinnamon.  I started the water drinking earlier because I was determined I would be finished by 10pm. I'll be finished by 11pm.

Partly cloudy meant it was time for a bike ride. I put the uniform on and had a great ride with an awesome friend. We had a meaningful conversation and a good ride.  When I got back I had a soul-fu sandwich and a banana, cinnamon, hemp milk, sea moss smoothie.  That smoothie was the bomb. [I'll do better tomorrow with the picture taking]

I finished my 10 pages of reading non-fiction before sundown.  Dinner was steamed greens and mixed veggies.  Time for some r and r......not really. It was time to complete that second workout. Done! So today was a good day.  This #75HARD is still a work in progress. 

Folks have a restful night.  Peace 

#75HARD Day 5

Hey hey hey! I had a lot of turnback moments today. I made it through. Breakfast was 2 pieces of vegan toast and a glass of fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice.

 It rained most of the day. Cycling was on my mind but I went to visit a good cycling friend and had a great time it was also very educational.  They make some outstanding soul-fu and dehydrated banana's. Bam! I'm a happy man. So for a snack, I had a soul-fu sandwich and dinner was a smaller salad than yesterday.

Got that walk in and on the return finished of 10+ pages of reading. 2nd workout was just completed and it's before 12. Sounds good but I can't hit the sack until I finish this last bit of water. So let go do a little more reading, listening to Coltrane and sip this water. Have a good one.  Peace

Sorry, no food pics today. Not sure how long I'll keep posting these. I'm about tired of looking at them. Anyway, #75Hard Day 5 complete. Good night.
