Basically, the rules are:<br />
<br />
<b>1) Strict Diet – No cheating, not even 1 bite, and No alcohol<br />
<br />
2) Two Workouts* per Day – 1 has to be outside and both have to be at least 45 minutes</b><br />
(*this can mean jogging, swimming, yoga - doesn't have to be gym)<br />
<br />
<b>3) Drink 1 Gallon of Water per Day – Nothing but clear, plain water counts<br />
<br />
4) Read 10 Pager per Day – From a non-fiction self-help book or business book<br />
<br />
5) Take a Progress Picture Every Day – So you can see the progress at the end</b><br />
<br />
For 75 days with no days off.

I am on board (or will be). I need to plan it but will join you soon.<br />
<br />
Just my take here because I can see people going to the list (even MJ didn't comment on the metrics).<br />
<br />
I recently read a book from the mrinsidesales (Mike Brooks) and he says what has been my biggest sin and is so obvious.<br />
<br />
Practice doesn't make perfect. If you practice bad routine, you will end up having a habit of doing bad routine. You need to tweak the activity along the way.<br />
<br />
1) It's pretty straightforward. Sticking to a diet of your choice that is healthy. e.g. I can eat what you cannot so you are 'cheating'. NO. Eating what is healthy for you fulfils the requirement.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center">For me - no carbs or low (below 30 g per day), diet from porn / masturbation, diet from news (find me good news television or newspaper?!!!), diet from negativity (people, events and thoughts)​</div><br />
2) Can be lawnmowing. YES LAWNMOWING COUNTS! I don't lawnmown daily so if on one of my days I feel like it and do it for 45 mins IT COUNTS MF. When lawnmowing you carry and swing a heavy piece of equipment (gym anybody?), or push it and pull it (gym again?!)...<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center">For me - I already cycle to work 2x 20mins a day. I can easily add 25mins to my route. I go to the gym every other day too. Need to add the every other other other day <img src="/community/imgs/emoticons/em-wink.png" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=";)" title="Wink ;)" data-shortname=";)" /> and am fixed.​</div><br />
3) No brainer. We have to drink it.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center">For me - I could disagree if it's good but I Won't. I can pick on something else (pick your battles wisely). I wanted to stop drinking coffee, alcohol etc. Will be extremely challenging because my best friend has a wedding. Touche... I don't have to drink. If you are worried then tell your friends you are a recovering alcoholic. For example.​</div><br />
4) I have been doing it for years now. Which is why one of the 'flaws' of the program for me is - if it's not a challenge I should add to this activity to make it one. I have other 'vices' that I want to eradicate which I would put on the list. This brings this question:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center">If it's not a challenge, is it still a challenge?<br />
If we have been doing something for 500 / 1500 days in a row, does it still count to put it on the list?​</div><br />
5) Easy. Also easy to forget.<br />

I'm really embarrassed even writing this but it has to be done. While I struggled with working out twice a day due to me also working 12 hour days on my business doing physical work it was ultimately alcohol that knocked me off the challenge both times. The majority of my social circle revolves around pubs/clubbing and I do some bar-tending work at night even while not drinking as I just enjoy being around the scene. Even going out after work on a date or just to meet a friend I like to loosen up over a drink.

I am developing a business that revolves around sugar/carbs only. We need to make a choice. It's either this or .... I used to be (still am) the person that left parties at 10pm to get enough of 'beauty sleep'. I always had arguments with my friends about it. Also felt guilty about it for a really long time. Now I don't. Discipline.<br />

Unfortunately no mowing the lawn doesn't count. Andy specifically mentioned this example while going off on a rant lol.

Andy is not a god and he is wrong with this one. Or just tricking everybody. The challenge here is also to think what it means. If you don't do anything then lawnmowing counts. It doesn't really differ from a good gym workout. Of course you won't be mowing the same plot 75 days in a row. <img src="/community/imgs/emoticons/em-wink.png" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=";)" title="Wink ;)" data-shortname=";)" /><br />

First of all, it takes a particular lifestyle to be able to do 2 workouts a day. The amount of times I have to forego my workout because of work and family commitments is a lot. I'd say I sacrifice at least one workout a week because of stuff that needs doing.

These are just excuses man. I am the same and I remember a couple of weeks ago even, I was thinking why I couldn't do something (e.g. I am too handsome, too tall, too rich, too funny - ok turning it around a bit here, but you get the point?) and this is why I didn't do it. Now when I read this thread I am thinking how to do it, what it takes. I even started visualising it, without my conscious control to be honest, different parts of accomplishing it and guess what. The thoughts how to accomplish it come to me without effort and the feeling of me wanting to do it is growing bigger and bigger.... but you need to feel it, really feel it inside.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center">JUST FIND THE REASON THAT WILL MAKE YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE IT AND THEN GO AND ACHIEVE IT<br />​</div>PS Write down everything you do daily. EVERYTHING. You may find that you are literally wanking (mentally and physically) for 2hrs a day, and you don't even know this. WHY? HOW COME? Because our subconscious is 'running' us for 95% of the time. So we need to be aware of what it is doing while we aren't paying attention. WRITE IT DOWN. BE AWARE. DEVELOP AWARENESS.<br />
<br />
PS2 Forgot to mention. THIS IS THE BEST THREAD I have come across since... Don't remember. Great job Fox!</div>
