My Fruitive Challenge: Day 152— Goggin’s Hell Week

-

 Goggins has an incredible story about how he became motivated to turn his life around from a morbidly obese failure into a lean mean fighting machine in just 3 months!  That is 100 lbs in just three months! That’s amazing! When he was at 215 lbs he was already able to do over 100 pull-ups, swim 2 miles, run 6 miles, and bike 20 miles daily! He’s a machine! He reached his goal weight of 191 lbs and passed his entrance exam right on schedule. That’s how badly he wanted it. It makes me rethink what real motivation means for myself in my current situation. I appreciate his example despite his unorthodox commitment to joining the military at the expense of his wife and kid. But I recognize that I mustn’t judge. Wha would be toxic and dangerous for the average person was what he needed for himself to overcome his life unfortunate circumstances that he blames no one but himself for.

I’m at the part where he is on his second attempt to make it through the notorious Hell Week of Basic Underwater Demolition SEAL Training. Exciting stuff!

Note: I weigh about 209 lbs now. My goal is to reach 192 lbs by November!

Here he is advertising his restaurant, Fruitive , on Instagram. Here’s the catch though, for the first two months of the diet, I’m also committed to eating SOS free diet, which means no added salt, oils, or sugar in the food I consume. I have been pretty worried about that part of the plan because I love my salt, oil, and sugar, but I have to say that I had a really good first day of it. I ate fresh fruit for breakfast, rice and salad for lunch, and a rice and beans bowl for dinner. The trick for me is to add a variety of no salt seasonings to taste and to toss in a mix of vegetables including avocado. I had one mishap worth mentioning though

Shipt!

We signed up with Shipt for grocery-getting. It's our first time and it feels luxurious! I could get used to this! Like the first time I felt When Grubhub delivered me a hamburger, But better. Hey, the Shipt employee just texted me. She's on her way. Wait. A breaking update from News 8: "Shipt: Meijer team members at 3 stores test positive for COVID-19" Me: Uhh. Laura: She's here! Stand back. Don't touch. Smile. Say thank you. Wave goodbye. Spray the bags. Wipe the groceries clean. Did you get the receipt? Maybe we can return the COVID-19 For some in-store credit? For now, let's get dinner ready And eat nutritiously! A crown of luxury indeed Fit for a king and queen! I can't get used to this.
