After injuring my ankle, I still finished a workout on the same day, followed by 2 days of rest. By the 3rd day, the no excuses mentality kicked in, so I did the work out, then missed the next day. 5 or 6 days later I can walk and do my workout with little pain to moderate pain. Over 30 days of following the no excuses book by Donovan, even skipping workouts a few times , (you're not supposed to miss a work out by the way), I lost a total of 7 pounds. My target was 1500 calories, but I usually went over and tried to stay under 1900. I sometimes ate up to 2100 calories if I was really hungry. Instead of tracking the macros, I ate what my body was asking for. I kind of know when my body wants more protein, or wants some carbs, or just needs to hydrate. Caffeine is something I realized I'm addicted to, so I cut it out yesterday, small steps. Instead of an energy drink, i made a couple lemon ginger smoothies with honey and it hydrated me and put me to sleep. After 30 days is over, do it again! Keep doing the work out until it's a habit you do without thinking about it, like tying your shoes. How many people were able to stay focused for 30 days?
