7-40 Challenge | Round 4, Day 6
Yesterday was rough. I hit the wall. Six out of seven habits, no creative work, no Substack, in bed early. It happens.
But two days like that don’t get to happen in a row.
This weekend is Memorial Day. My goal is to enjoy myself. Eat some good barbecue. Have a bowl of homemade ice cream — maybe two. Spend time with my family that is so incredibly precious that no calorie count is worth missing it.
I’m not giving myself a blank check. I’m not doubling my calorie goal. I’m saying there’s no guilt in the ice cream. There’s no guilt in choosing to be present with the people I love over tracking every number for three days.
Bible study continues. Gratitude continues. Walking continues. The floor doesn’t move. But the ceiling gets a little breathing room for a weekend, and when Tuesday comes, everything tightens back down.
Happy Memorial Day. The 7-40 Challenge goes on.
