Day 13 Recap

Posted by Justin Popovic | 8:52 PM

Today was a day that I would classify as a balancing day. I devoted the majority of my time and energy on my family, and it was great!

An interesting challenge I faced today was fatigue. After sleeping 5 hours last night, I had to dig deep to find the immediate energy required to keep up with my son Thomas bright and early in the morning.

The cool thing about getting up in the morning is that even though I may feel quite tired and groggy when I first open my eyes, I can move forward with enthusiasm knowing that I will feel alive and energetic in a few short minutes of playing with my son!

I had a nap this afternoon, which is very rare, but it has given me the extra boost of energy required to get through the rest of my evening with pep in my step!

Here is a summary of my day:
7:00am-9:30am Alone time with Thomas, feeding him breakfast and playing
9:30am-11:00am Sorting email, working on our Xocai chocolate business
11:00am-1:30pm Family time with Jess and Thomas and watching our niece Olivia
1:30pm-5:00pm Golf with Jess and her brother and his wife (great rec time!)
5:00pm-6:00pm NAP!!!!
6:00pm-7:00pm More family time, Thomas dinner time
7:00pm-8:00pm Shooting hoops as my daily cardio workout
8:00pm-10:00pm Dinner with Jess, watched part of a movie on TV
10:00pm-12:00am Working on Xocai and writing content for my business

Today was the first day where I really felt exhausted in terms of the sleepy feeling.

My mind was SCREAMING to allow myself to use my round of golf as my exercise activity for the day. But the agreement I made with myself was that I would do some form of cardio workout every day...hence the hoops session (which was awesome after my nap).

As of Sept.20 (Day 13 of 90):

Mental Toughness - 8
Physical Energy - 6
Self Confidence - 9
Persistence Threshold - 9
Faith That I Will Complete This Successfully - 10
