Double Crunch Challenge: Update
On day 4 of the double crunch challenge: I’m hurting.
I’ve been faithfully doing my 250 crunches a day and have had very little difficulty in eating a different green vegetable each day. Friday was Green Peppers, Saturday was Broccoli and Celery (Looky! Double Dose!), Sunday was Asparagus. Today? Any suggestions?
Did I say I’m hurting? Wait… my fellow office dweller is gone for lunch. Time for 50 crunches! That’ll bring me up to 150 for the day.
…
I’m back. Yes, I might be going insane when I hurt and I’m doing the very thing that makes me hurt, but hey – (cliche alert) no pain, no gain!
Today’s question posed by our PrimalStride fearless leader, Seth:
What do you look forward to most when you imagine yourself living a truly healthy lifestyle?
I see running around with my son without running out of breath after 10 minutes. I see looking forward to walking with my wife. I don’t see me better at sports, but definitely enjoying them more despite my lack of coordination.
It occurs to me that I should look at last week’s challenge (even though I had not committed to PrimalStride yet) and incorporate it into my daily routine.

This is one of the most inspiring bits of writing I’ve read in recent history.
I mean that. Fully. Today has been a really tough day (I stack challenges on top of each other & have cut calories so I can write some more break-up letters for the 100lbs project). Reading that you are pushing through the annoyance of discomfort and what you’d like to gain from fitness… is enough to make anybody want to keep on keeping on just as you are.
I’m glad you’ve joined us. I’m delighted that you’re doing something good for yourself that will benefit many others in the long run. I’m hopeful for what tomorrow brings with a world populated by people like you who are working so diligently to make a difference.
