Day 3- I almost missed reading yesterday. I got it in last minute then did my check in. My gratitude’s were probably a little odd because I was trying hard to remember what I wrote down in the morning.
Today I’m on track and have a plan to read after dinner. My bf is out of town so I have nothing to distract me.![]()

My day has been going great so far! I’ve got about 30 more ounces of water left to drink, I’ve done the meditation, read more than 5 pages of my book, and my kids joined me on my walk after they finished with their school work. We knew it would rain during our walk, but we thought it would just be light rain. A few minutes after taking this pho…Read More

Day 3, meditation has been a struggle. I have been doing 5 min at a time, and honestly just focusing on the feeling of my lungs expanding and deflating while constantly letting thoughts come and go (why is that so difficult?? 😂) has been the most helpful.

Thank you for sharing this. I love it. Especially the first line. Who we think we are supposed to be. This is something that has truly changed my life. I still struggle with living my this but the more I do it the most success I’ve had being the person I want to be and feeling I’m living my best life.

Wrapping up Day 2. My personal insights: 1) I like the cold shower in the morning better than at night and 2) it takes some effort to drink this much water (since it isn’t an established habit), but it’s great getting back to it!

Thursday are usually busier than other days, so I knew I had to get my walk in earlier. I broke it up into 10 minute increments. Walked before and after my workout and then I walked the last 10 minutes with my teen daughter before she got her workout started. I’m especially proud at the fact that I will be drinking the full gallon of water t…Read More

Day 2, going strong. Keep in mind life will try to get in your way anytime you do something to “level up” yourself. (Let me be a geek here) it’s like a video game, the bosses will keep getting harder BUT it is supposed to be that way. Think of it this way: without that adversity, we COULD NOT grow and become better.

Hey Louisa, just take moments throughout your day to breathe and think of the small things in life that you are grateful for. Not every day is going to be easy, but push through and remember, this too shall pass. You got this and keep us updated as you complete your tasks throughout the day. We will cheer you on!

Today will be day 1 for me! I have a couple of questions… 1) If I journal my 3 gratitudes in the morning, do I really have to type them out all over again in the quiz? Or could I just put a few words or that it was done? 2) If I do a different outside activity such as bike or kayak for more than 30” does that count, or do I also have to walk? Tha…Read More

Hey Michelle! Yes, if you are journalling them, we can do the honors system. You can just write something like “journaled” in each. Also, we are requiring it to be a walk if you are capable. Let us know if you have any other questions!

Day 1 of the 30-day strong challenge made me really that I was spoiled in the last 2 challenges because a park with miles of walking trails was right at the end of my street and now I have to plan and work for it. Now I’m going to knock out that 60 second cold shower to rinse off before cook dinner.
