Freedom Burgers - Happy 4th of July

-
Today was not about diet and weight loss.  It was not about self control and good decisions 
Today is about Freedom!
The freedom to have a good day with no consequences.
The freedom to eat what I cook without worrying about the after effect.
The freedom to eat the icecream that my toddler brings me after burgers and the freedom to drink my calories in the form of a brew.

But most importantly the freedom to spend an amazing day with my family and no outside considerations. 

Happy 4th of July all.

If you celebrate,  if you don't,  doesn't matter, I hope you had an amazing day.

Fighting Your Demons

Last night while driving home I really wanted to stop and get some ice cream.  It wasn't an overwhelming desire but the thought was there creeping into my head.  I told myself that I wasn't losing the battle here and to just keep driving.  By the time I got to the normal place where I would stop the thought had left my mind and the temptation was completely gone. This morning was an entirely different scenario. I woke up at 6 am and before I even realized my alarm was going off (it had been making noise for over two minutes at this point) I felt the headache encasing me. Literally my first thought was that I would not be completing my fast for the day because I was going to pick up a couple of energy drinks and some garbage to eat to help alleviate the pain I was feeling. I haven't had a lot of headaches in the past year or so but my go-to gut reaction when I wake up with one, especially one that felt almost overwhelming like this morning, is to grab some energy d

Stepping it up

 Over the course of #75Hard I have been getting in a lot more steps as a natural result of walking more.  So, I got to thinking and was curious what my numbers looked like over previous years when I was not doing the program. Looking at past data is always fun for me and I didn't realize that I have been using a Fitbit since 2013.  In fact, I have all of the same time period for 2013 - 2019 except one year where I broke a Fitbit and didn't replace it because I had such sever Plantar Fasciitis that I could barely walk and didn't care. I'm going to put this data in the form of Steps and Miles during my 75Hard time frame (October 1st - December 14th) and then what I did for the entire year.  Obviously when I get to 2020 I won't be able to put the year data since it is not over yet but I will make it as up-to-date as possible. 2013: 75Hard - 857,361 Steps and 388 Miles Year - 1,706,93 Steps and 777.46 Miles I got my Fitbit in August so these stats are reflective of Augu

2021 in a nutshell

2021 has now gone and one of the biggest goals I set for myself I nailed! To walk 2021 miles in 2021. I have attached the information from my Fitbit below: 5,099,613 steps 2300.98 miles That is a lot of steps and I'm proud that I accomplished the goal I set out to hit. It is over and I need to look ahead to where I will be in 2022.  The obvious answer is that I want to walk 2022 miles in 2022 and continue the trend.  I have some friends who also played along last year, Mathman and RedeyeJay, and I believe they will be going for the same goal this year. However, I would also like to improve upon what I did last year and get to at least 5,100,000 steps. This comes out to almost 13,973 steps every day.  That is such an odd number so let's bump it up to 14,000 steps minimum and that puts us at 5,110,000 steps for the year. If I can manage to get my average to 15,000 steps every day then I would be up to 5,475,000.   Usually I start the year out strong and then fade a bit as the end
