I’m a little short of a week into Sober October. In addition to the obvious requirement of no beer or booze, I came up with a list of 15 tasks that I need to complete every day. Here is a status check of how I’m doing after six days:
Wake up before 6 a.m. 2 / 6
Make bed 6 / 6
Shave 6 / 6
Five minutes of meditation 6 / 6
No fast food 6 / 6
Eat 30 carbohydrates or less 6 / 6
Go to gym 6 / 6
Drink 200 oz. of water 6 / 6
10,000 steps 6 / 6
Write 200 words 6 / 6
Read 25 pages 6 / 6
Track food and exercise 6 / 6
18 hours of Fasting (Six-hour feeding window) 6 / 6
Stay up until 9 p.m. 6 / 6
DON’T BEAT MYSELF UP IF I DON’T DO A TASK 6 / 6
86 / 90
“Pretty pretty pretttttty good!” [Larry David voice]
The one things I slacked on was the wake up time. Since I’ve been trying to keep myself on the go throughout the day, I have been a lot more tired so I haven’t had the energy to argue with the body and get myself out of bed at 6 a.m.
But the most important task – DON’T BEAT MYSELF UP IF I DON’T DO A TASK – has been flawless and I am proud of that and I know I can keep that going throughout the rest of the month.
Start fast and FINISH STRONGER.
