Today's feeling? Apprehensive.
I'm starting my very first 24 Day Challenge. I've prepped food... I've prepared my workouts for the month... I've taken measurements. I'm prepared. I AM! REALLY!!
So, why do I feel so scared?
Because this is new. And different. And I have friends counting on me to lead them through the challenge.
Because I have a tendency to overplan and overthink. And when I have too much planning and too much thinking? I don't always succeed.
Because it means I'll have to get through 24 days with no coffee. And I promised myself once upon a time that I would NEVER give up coffee.
Because I will have to succeed on my own. Yes, I have a great support team, but success here will depend solely on my actions.
Because taking responsibility for all the poor decisions I've made over the past year is HARD. And changing habits? That's hard too. In fact, it's easier to get up in the morning and jump right back into my normal habits. But, from experience, I know that it gets easier the more and more I do it.
So, yes... I'm apprehensive. And nervous.
But, I'm relishing the challenge of something different. I'm taking it one day at a time. I know that I can succeed on my own because I've done it. And taking responsibility? Absolutely done. I CAN DO THIS.
(Giving up coffee though? The jury's still out on that one......)
