Three weeks down, seven to go.
Believe it or not, I'm already dreading "life after the Quest". Despite the early wake-ups, and tremendous finagling with my schedule to fulfill my commitment, I don't want it to end.
It's a lot of hard work. It's a lot of new experiences that are out of my comfort zone. And there's nothing I'd rather be doing.
I know that three weeks doesn't make a new person, but I'm starting to feel it. The approach we are taking is so unique compared to any other fitness or weight loss program I've ever tried before. I'm not entirely consumed with what I see in the mirror or on the scale. Rather, I feel my core getting stronger. I'm remembering to breathe properly throughout the day. My running form is getting better every time out. I'm sitting up straighter. In addition, my patience with my children is lengthening. I'm remembering to do the little things for my wife to show her how much I appreciate her support throughout these ten weeks.
Inch by inch, I'm becoming more of the person I want to be.
I'm sure I'll repeat myself many times over the course of this program, but I truly am so very grateful to have this opportunity.
