I almost died in the pool
|
I started swimming 3 weeks ago in the pool in our neighborhood. I set out to swim 20 minutes that first day. HAHAHAHAHAHAAH Was I overconfident! The lifeguard nearly had to jump in the pool to rescue me. That is a WORKOUT! WOW!! The lap pool is 25 yards in length. I swim there and back, which takes about 1 minute. I rest for a minute. Ashton's been coming with me every day this week. He brings his buddy Caleb, too. Two kids racing each other up and down the lanes while I'm just trying not to die in lane 4. Week 1: 10 laps Today will be 24 straight days. I'm down 13.4 lbs since starting (tracking calories & weighing my food, too) I've never swam laps like this before. I ain't trying to be the next Michael Phelps. I'm no doubt better than I was when I started 24 days ago because I'm stacking small reps on top of small reps. It's the only system I've ever trusted. In the pool, being a Dad, business, lifting weights, walking, etc. Pick a number that you can hit today. Add a little bit extra next week. Repeat until it's stupid how good you naturally get. Reminds me of a quote from my favorite book, The Slight Edge... "Simple little disciplines that, done consistently over time, will add up to the very biggest accomplishments" YOU GOT THIS 🙌 In your corner, When you're ready, here are a couple of ways I can help you…

I yap about two things often... Documenting your journey (the good AND the bad). And creating demand. Turns out those two things are peanut butter and jelly. I've been open about the struggles of getting 3 social media accounts (56,500+ followers) getting wiped out. I wrote an email yesterday about another creator who lost her 83,000 follower IG account last weekend. I then shared how my social media strategy has changed. An hour later, I got this reply... He wasn't replying to a pitch...
I lost 56,500 followers last Thursday. My friend Audrey texted me yesterday about one of the biggest faceless creators online. She had 83,000 followers on IG, and did seven figures in the last couple of years. Her account got wiped out over the weekend. She DM'd me about it yesterday... She went on to tell me... "I’ve had so many people reach out to me with the same issue We can bitch and moan that it's not fair. Or we can be proactive about it. I'm choosing to be proactive. Here's what I've...
What a wild couple of days. It's weird...not being able to login to Facebook. Super weird. I like checking in to see how peeps from high school are doing. Browsing 1-2 of my favorite entrepreneur groups. Seeing updates from family members, and other friends. I'm so used to spending at least 25 minutes/day responding to comments on Threads. Or just when I want to share random thoughts I have, I have no place to share it. Or checking in with friends I've made on Threads. I've got heaps of...
