A New Year has dawned...time to get to work
At this point I am 1032 Days without a workout break and it is just awesome. I have settled into a weird eating pattern to push me through the winter. The cool thing so far is that I have my winter workout pattern has stabilized and I am getting some really good workout in. I have no laid off and have maintained. Also, instead of doing the Daily Stoic readings, I am doing the daily podcast. They are pretty cool. I still do the reading on the weekend though.
I continue have the pinched nerve issue intermittently. I wrote about this last month. It went away but came back recently for about a week. Now, as I sit her I can still feel remnants of it but the intensity level is down. I got rid of the posture correction device that I had - it just was not working for me.
DareBee continues to be my mainstay. I really can't see a day ahead without it - honestly. As far as the beard is concerned, I think it might be in the final days. I like it, but the maintenance part of it is a pain. It doesn't take that much but it does require some amount of attention and I am not even giving it the bare minimum. I will drop it for a while and then pick it back up at some point. I think.
(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.
