Intermittent Fasting

Day 3

The hunger started early. Was not expecting it. My stomach growled it’s frustration. Flung into this system without preparation. Yet I persist.

Getting through the beginning is hard. No easy way but to do it. Summon up willpower by making it simple to win. Keep no sweets in the house. Allow nothing to distract you from the course. Focus on the outcome. When it gets unbearable. Crack don’t break. Then jump back on the bandwagon. Having the plan in place for when you crack is key. It allows you to refocus your energy.

On the other side is the promised land. Sculpted abs, no cravings, and in tune with nature. Getting there is going to take strength — hope I have enough.

 

What’s My Plan?

 
Target selected; run a marathon. Each time I say it, the universe hears me. My pledge grows deeper. Faced with the possibility of failing my resolve strengthens. Deep down I glare at my demons. Not today, not ever will I let them win.
 
No plans. Do it. Fight and keep fighting. When I cross that finish line. I conquered this demon. [Tweet “Until then: I fight; I struggle; and, I keep going.”]
