Today marks a significant milestone: a whole month without “lettuce,” or 31 days to be precise. Throughout this journey, I’ve learned a lot: - I am stronger than I ever imagined - Temptations have proven to be more potent than I had anticipated, especially as I’ve progressed further; for an odd reason I thought it would disappear. - My old life continues to lure me back, but I’ve resisted the urge to succumb to its fascination. - I’ve realized the immense amount of time I have wasted by waiting or thinking I was taking action. - I’ve come to the realization that I possess the capability to achieve anything I set my mind to. - Consistency beats motivation every time. - Discipline beats motivation every time. - Action beats motivation every time. Today was awesome, tomorrow is going to be more awesome, and this week will be the awesomest yet!

Celebrating my official first 20 lbs down in my weight loss journey, I decided to have my first cheat MEAL! A mouth-watering fried chicken sandwich with macaroni and cheese while drinking a glass of FULL SUGAR lemonade! MHMM, MHMMM! Holy macros!!! It felt so good to enjoy the meal without feeling bad or beating myself up. I used to eat greasy, super fatty foods every day; they held me together like super glue. I was only eating once a day and gorging myself because I thought that since it was chicken or meat, it was healthy. But now I can finally say that I have the freedom to choose what I want to eat and when I want to eat it. As long as I choose consistency over everything else, that’s the ultimate game changer in the end. Back to work!

Had an awesome day today! I got to visit some old friends and catch up! Eat some junk food over great conversations and a few brewskis. Today I also had the realization that I am ahead of my friends in the game of life or some realizations, but I am also behind in others. This is why we are friends, it creates balance. Insight from one leads to another’s growth and vice versa.

I had an awesome week! I hit a new record of 16 min in the sauna! I lost 2 lbs! I am 14 days sober! My biggest takeaway this week is other people’s negativity and lack of energy is not my responsibility. I do not need to give into their lack of self awareness or projections. #thisismyideallife #iamamagneticforpositiveenergy #herefortheworknow #herefortheinnerwork #hereismywhy

Today after I hopped off the community call I contemplated starting a social media page. I have always wanted to become a paid social media user (not an influencer) or maybe I do truly want to become a influencer because I want to share my journey, my mindset, and my wins (but I will never promote something I do not like and that’s why I dislike the the title of social media influencer) Please join me in my journey. I will begin to discuss sobriety, health, and my action plan. Please take a look at my instagram where I have decided to start! https://www.instagram.com/nathan.tkach?igsh=MWRhdGF4YWowamowZA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr
