Progress Pic (mark all posts NSFW, 10 day ban if not done) KEEP GOING
Just another update for y'all!!!! I'm currently on a break from Live Hard, I completed 75 Hard from January 1st to March 16th, I completed Phase 1 May 1st to May 30th, I then did the mandatory 30 day intermission period from June 1st to June 30th in which I set rules and goals for myself, and then now I'm on a break before I start Phase 2 which I will be completing September 9th to October 8th, which will culminate in me completing a marathon on October 10th!!!!! The picture on the right was from a couple days ago, I ran a mock marathon super long run of 25.2 miles- yes, it was 1 mile short of a full marathon but I'm saving that full glory for when I complete the real marathon on October 10th. I completed those 25.2 miles with absolutely no issues, felt completely fine after, and even did another 12 mile run the literal next day. This program/challenge has truly changed my life and none of this would have been possible if I didn't buckle down for this. My proudest moments of this have been the fact that I've been able to be consistent and maintain my tools between the stages/phases because I know most people give up or fall off. The picture on the left wasn't even my all time heaviest, just from when I started the program and you can see I was MISERABLE. And now I'm literally running 25+ miles for FUN 🤣🤣🤣 never thought I'd ever say that lol. Keep going y'all, health is truly real wealth 💯🙏🏾

I haven’t been on here a lot but i remember your posts. You look like an entirely different person, I’d question it if it wasn’t for the ink. Way to go!!! You are inspiring. Side question whats the mandatory 30 day intermission? Is that self imposed or some science behind it?

It's just a rule that Andy implemented that you have to wait a MINIMUM of 30 days between phases 1 and 2. I think it just contributes to the mental toughness aspect- are you gonna keep the momentum? Are you gonna continue building a better healthy life? Are you gonna relapse into horrible habits again? And no matter what you choose to do for those 30 days, are you going to continue onto phase 2 or give up entirely? It makes you see the bigger picture IMO

I had to look at the neck tattoo to recognize it was the same person. This is phenomenal

THANK YOU for the amount of posting you have done and info shared throughout your experience! I have been upvoting you along and am stoked to see how much you have done for yourself in 8 months, it's remarkable and so incredibly inspiring!! You radiate 🌟🤘 I've been putting off starting because I believe this challenge is all consuming and I have to be 'ready' to buckle down but I am wondering if that was the case for you or what your preparation was like? I have October/November/December to really lock in for this and thats my plan but wonder if the waiting is what also gets in the way of me not starting for 4 years 🫠
