Dear Barry,
Hope you are doing well my friend. Kendra and I are having a blast living in Europe and raising two adorable kids but lately we've noticed our fitness has really declined. Whether it be too much alcohol and food, not enough exercise or sleep, our slow glide into middle age or a combination, we are not too pleased.
It certainly is not nobler to suffer the slings and arrows of poor health, so Kenny and I have decided to take arms against it. In the form of the 75 Hard Challenge.
For 75 days we will:
Exercise for at least 45 minutes twice per day. One of which has to be outside. Lots of good science behind the restorative value of nature so I am all in.
Drink at least a gallon of water. Which I already do but will be great for kenny the camel.
Take a cold shower. Good way to keep our insanity in check(i.e. a third kid from entering the picture;) )
Eat a healthy diet. For us this means no alcohol during the week and cutting out the junk(for kenny-no candy and me no processed foods high in sodium).
Read at least ten pages of non-fiction. I may try to argue that the news should count but that'd probably not true these days.
Post progress on social media. Okay so I like the accountability of this. However, I also value my friends and family and don't feel like getting blocked due to nearly 11 weeks of flooding their news feeds. Therefore Kenny and I made a special Instagram page just for those few people who are actually interested. And we can leave everyone else alone. It is @fitnesstravels603 if you're remotely interested.
We were supposed to start Novemeber 1st but got delayed when we thought about a week in Barcelona without alcohol, good food or treats so we decided to hold off until we return on the 14th. Let's see if the nearness to christmas markets make us delay again but for now that's the plan.
I'll keep you posted.
Until next time,
Your friend Danny
