Mission 1, Day 72: Home stretch

January 6, 2008 By Michael Mahony, ISSA CPT Leave a Comment

It is the home stretch.  I have 28 days left in my mission and 12 days left in my first 84 days.  I threw down the gauntlet a few days ago and upped every goal I have.  I mean business and I intend to nail this mission. 

Today was one of those days where you think alot about change.  I drove through some areas I hadn't been in for a decade and was amazed at the changes.  That, inevitably, got me thinking about change and how we can cause change to happen.  It is a topic near and dear to anyone visiting this blog because we are all trying to change our physiques in a drastic way.

Time is a necessary element of the changes we are trying to accomplish.  Nothing happens overnight.  It is all about the time and effort we put in.  I have 12 days left until my first 12 week mark.  I intend for those to be the best 12 days of the entire first 84 days.  Once I hit that marker I will be heading towards the finish line of my first 100 day mission. 

I did some writing for my eBook today.  It is a fun task because I know when I'm done I will be helping people.  At some point prior to releasing this eBook I plan to give my readers (and most especially The Shredder Council) a preview of portions of the eBook.  I will expect feedback from all of you.

Rest day today

Yes, today was a rest day and it was so hard to take the rest, but I know my body needs that time to recover.  I've managed to hit 97% of my marks in the first 10 days of my accountability plan.  I'm actually very surprised by that number. 

Updated post on 1/6/2008:

I thought I would post my Day 1 side view picture alongside my Day 72 side view picture.  What do you think?

Until tomorrow…
