Conquer the World

The mind is an amazing thing. When you set your mind to something and truly commit to it nothing can stop you.

A few days ago I posted about an unrealistic goal that I was challenging myself with. Lose 45-50 lbs in 30 days…

Okay, it’s only been 4 days but so far I’m killing it. 4 days with no alcohol (those that know me know that’s a feat), I’ve been utilizing intermittent fasting where you fast for 16 hours and have an eating window of 8 hours and I’ve hiked or ran a minimum of 2.5 miles each day.

So far I’m down 5 lbs (as of this morning which is 3 days) which comes out to 1.66 lbs per day. Multiply 1.66 by 30 and you get 50 lbs (49.8).

I’m sore… I’m a little hungry but that’s it. Otherwise I’m feeling good. I’m feeling optimistic about this challenge. Now I realize that I might have days where I slip up. I’m traveling this weekend and will spend a good chunk of two days in airports. I’ll be in another state without my own kitchen and I will be going out. If I can make it through this weekend and stay close to on track the rest will be a piece of cake…. mmmm, I like cake.

My point to all of this is to say, set crazy goals for yourself. Aim beyond your target and push yourself to a greater and best you.

Get rid of the distractions and purge the people that have been bringing you down. Gain support from friends and use them to stay accountable.

After this challenge I intend to find an even greater challenge. It may or may not be physical. It may a relationship, it may be an entrepreneurial challenge or it may be a creative challenge. I don’t know yet… what I do know is that I want to conquer the world and right now I feel like I can!!
