Hey guys!
The title of this weblog put up is the title of the guide I’m studying known as “Can’t Damage Me” by David Goggins.
For too a few years, I’ve allowed damaging feedback from strangers to have an effect on my emotional well-being and I have to cease letting individuals have management over me, my thoughts, my physique, and my journey.
I’m virtually completed with the guide, and I HIGHLY suggest you learn it. I discover myself actually (as in audibly) saying “YES” below my breath each time David says one thing that rings so true for me, however that I’ve been afraid to precise for worry of being known as names. His complete factor is “keep onerous” and let me let you know – this Navy Seal is likely one of the hardest individuals I’ve ever discovered about. He was a sufferer of kid abuse, he’s run on damaged legs (actually), has accomplished over 60 ultramarathons and appears to have hacked the potential of the human thoughts.
My objective with studying this guide is to determine how one can not let different individuals’s opinions of me trouble me. Like, why do I STILL give them that energy? WHY do I give them the ability to harm me?
I hope I’ve a solution after I end the previous couple of chapters.
However one factor I do wish to point out earlier than I get into my meal plan for week 4:
I’m sick of the sexism that goes into play when a feminine needs to be intense, be onerous, and push her limits. Why is it that she is labeled “unhealthy”, “unrealistic”, and a “dangerous position mannequin”? Why can a person do it and be inspirational? Why, after I do it, do individuals really feel it’s okay to inform me to relax out and to give attention to extra essential issues, like being a mom? And, why do individuals really feel like they will inform me how a lot to work out, how a lot to eat, and the way I must be working my enterprise and my life?
Truthfully, I used to be getting so sick of all of this that I used to be about to simply cease the weblog posting, cease the IG posts, cease the IG tales, and simply be like – kay, you don’t get to be part of my journey, you don’t get the privilege of my transparency, you don’t get to style my vulnerability, see ya – I’ll be again in 90 days.
However that will imply that I gave in.
That will imply I turned weak.
And that’s not what I’m making an attempt to do. I’m on this 90 day Journey to get within the STRONGEST form of my life bodily, mentally, and emotionally.
See why defining your Why is so essential? It was on this time of weak point that I NEEDED my Why. I wanted my Why to inform me to maintain going. And it did simply that, so right here I’m, pushing on into week 4, making an attempt t0 keep onerous, and unharmed.
Week 4 meal Plan:
I’m REALLY enthusiastic about my meal plan this week as a result of it’s all of my fave meals from the previous 3 weeks, tweaked to perfection!
I’ve determined to remain within the 1800 calorie vary for now with all macros typically the identical as final week’s meal plan. It’s additionally the FINAL week of my Month 1 Exercises! Can not wait to jot down a brand new plan this weekend and get my Dexa Scan subsequent Wednesday.
Wanting ahead, subsequent month’s exercises may have much less reps so I can elevate heavier. Meals sensible, I’ll typically hold issues the identical (properly, except my Dexa Scan tells me in any other case) till the ultimate couple weeks out, aka my fake “bikini prep week”! Nonetheless questioning…ought to I purchase an excessive sparkly bikini, put on clear heels, and do a fake stroll throughout the stage…at residence!!?? OMG wait, ought to I get a pretend tan? However like, not be a sizzling cheeto this time!??? Hahaha. WE SHALL SEE HOW DEEP I GET.
However I imply, if we’re gonna do that, we’re gonna DO THIS, proper??
