Turning point

The challenge enters it's final leg as the remaining days go to single digits - as of today I've got 21 days down and 9 to go. And you know what - even if my legs fell off right now, I'd still be extremely proud of what I've done.

It's been interesting, and as they promised, I've learned new things about myself. For example, I've noticed more and more the importance of proper eating habits - if I eat any crap, I'll notice it now immediately... that cheesecake brownie sure sounded like a good idea at lunch time, but several ours later you end up paying for it by feeling heavy and sluggish... or that Chinese lunch I just had to have... Also I notice changes in my body, which kind of surprised me as it has been a relatively short time - my favourite tight jeans are not so tight anymore - looking at the mirror I don't see a difference, but there must be something happening. On the downside (not counting the lack of free evenings) I'm constantly a bit sore - not too much, not so much that I would feel I shouldn't practice, but little sore and stiff that can especially be noticed when bending down.

I have no doubt now that I can do this - and not only this, I think this experience has taught me a lot about what my limits generally are. And to my surprise I can actually achieve a lot more than I would have imagined - I tend to be good at coming up with excuses for why I shouldn't do something or why I can't do it... turns out I have more strenght if I just reach for it.
