FEB 1 2022: I am now 2129 Days (approximately: 5 Years, 9 Month, 4 Weeks – LINK). Fell behind in my journaling of these pages, so I will have to make this up in subsequent months.
DareBee
I still have not missed a day with my forever baby. I continue to do my dailies, but have pulled back from the challenges for now. And whenever new workouts post, I continue to try and just knock those out as well. For now, I am gonna continue focusing on the basics and get the job done.
(Kept from previous foreword) – Additionally, I have added a couple layers of complexity or demand to my workout. First, I am religiously sticking to DareBee and the Daily Dare; I am also, keeping the preliminaries. Second, I have added a consecutive component – so, starting with the end of IronBorn (9 April 2017), I have worked consecutively. I intend to push for 60 straight day, then see if I can get to 90. So far I am enjoying it and my body seems to be rising to the occasion. I caught the flu a few day before the end of the last phase (around May 2017) – I worked through it and was back up in only a couple of days. It appears pushing through and forcing my body to continue working, I was able to push the flu out of my way. I am also continuing my virtual push to OKC via Benton. I am really enjoying that but I will have to pick up the mileage here in the next phase as I am running out of time. Keep leaning forward.
