Day 64 and 65 Recap

Posted by Justin Popovic | 8:45 PM

The new work week brought on a fresh feeling of motivation for my 90 Day Challenge. My focus this week was to gain tighter control of my diet and eating patterns. I have been relatively healthy throughout this challenge but I wanted to manage my quantity of food more carefully.

Day 64 and 65 were good days. I ate a very well balanced set of meals and was able to eat about 5 small meals each day (rather than 2 or 3 larger meals). I also reduced my coffee intake to 1 cup per day. I had been drinking 2 and 3 cups per day up until that point.

Overall, it is actally quite easy to maintain a more controlled diet, I just had to make the mental decision to be conscious of it. I think that is a big part of all our lives. We literally have to become conscious of an activity in order to control it and make it work in our favour. Because I wasn't observing my food intake, I was not noticing how often I was over eating. A simple shift in awareness seems to have solved the problem.

This has also been a very busy week for business. It is Tuesday night and I have already had 4 big meetings and I am also preparing for a large presentation for Wilfred Laurier University this Friday. This will be of my largest speaking opportunities of my career so I am very excited to see what I can put together for the audience. I have, in my opinion, a really fun and interesting presentation that will get them all thinking about their life in new ways.

In terms of fitness, I have made a decision to just focus on basketball. I am going to work on the various aspects of my game every day. I will track my progress on Thursday and Sunday nights when I play in my men's leagues. I am also using some time after each basketball workout to do some upper body strengthening with the exercise ball. It actually feels great to take a break from weight lifting for a while. The next idea on my fitness list is to get into Pilates. I have heard amazing things and my mother is an instructor so I can get first hand training!
