Well what a tumultuous couple of days. Day 4 and 5 of 75 Hard was a killer ! I think I have/had the Keto Flu and have felt super ill. My body is screaming at me, which I’m guessing is my body releasing toxins. Nausea, headaches, fatigue, flu symptoms, tight chest, aching legs, tummy issues … the lot. But … I HAVE honoured my Commitment !! And thats super huge for me. I have not missed any of my 2 x daily workouts and have even walked in the freezing rain. I needed to adjust the pace a bit as I didn't want to push my body as hard while its ill, but none the less I did it !
So not much to report today as I have been lying horizontal.
My Commitment to Self
I Commit to BE-ing present, Connecting with the Divine Within, and Nurturing my Physical and Emotional Self.
The Four Commitments
Be True to Your Word
Don’t take anything personally
Don’t Make Assumptions
Always do your Best
Career
I took a couple of days away from the laptop this week. I was just too ill and my motivation was at an all time low. I was actually getting concerned I was slipping back to old ways, but no, this morning feeling a lot healthier I am here showing up to get it done. I’m looking forward to working with Mr Effortless again today and charging through what needs to be done.
Emotional
Nothing to report while being in the illness cave for the last 2 days.
Environmental
Because I needed to step back the pace a bit, my walks in nature were a lot more nourishing. I was far more observant and enjoyed using all my senses while walking.
Family
Nothing to report while being in the illness cave for the last 2 days.
Financial
Nothing to report while being in the illness cave for the last 2 days.
Fun
Nothing to report while being in the illness cave for the last 2 days.
Impact
Nothing to report while being in the illness cave for the last 2 days.
Intellectual
Nothing to report while being in the illness cave for the last 2 days.
Physical
On Wednesday I had my Oncologist appointment. My new favourite word right now is Benign. Looks like I can relax for another year. Its a weird thing Cancer. I mostly lock away my concerns, however the worry is like a silent traveller that accompanies me though life. Very happy for it to stay silent, honestly.
I have upped my H20 and added Hydralyte today, to see if that helps with the Keto Flu Symptoms.
Also noted my weight loss seems to be less if I don’t have eggs for lunch
I have been intermittent fasting each day until Midday. Thinking I might adjust that today until I’m feeling stronger. Might be a bit much for my body all at once.
Social
Nothing to report while being in the illness cave for the last 2 days.
Spiritual
I’ve had some time for reflection over the past 2 days, however let my daily spiritual practice slip.
Time
I wouldn't say I’ve optimised my time over the past 2 days. While being in bed ill, I have enjoyed binge watching Ted Lasso. I’ve heard about it for ages and it never interested me. I think its a very special series, and we need more of these. Uplifting, they tackled quite deep topics sensitively, in a way which was empowering and hopeful. Believe !
75 Hard
I’m going hard, yes I am. This 75 is only 2 ½ months of my life. I can do this. I WILL do this ! I AM doing this !
Weight
Day 5 28/06/23 90.1kg down 0.3kg released 1.3kg
Day 6 29/06/23 90kg down 0.1kg released 1.4kg
