đŸ”„ The Night Before Day 1: My Last Meal and Other Rituals

Alright, folks, it’s the day before Day 1 of my “100 Days of Not Being a Fat Ass” challenge, and naturally, I’m preparing like a pro athlete—by ordering Chick-fil-A and a cookies-and-cream milkshake. Is this self-sabotage? Possibly. Delicious? Definitely. This final indulgence is more ritual than necessity, and let’s be honest: saying goodbye to milkshakes isn’t easy. It’s my personal farewell to comfort food and hello to the uncomfortable reality of better habits.

⚠ Why I’ll Probably Fail (and Why I’ll Keep Going Anyway)

Today was rough, discipline-wise. I overslept by four hours—like a true champion of procrastination—and have been stumbling through my to-do list ever since. This weekend didn’t fare much better; I felt overwhelmed and managed to spectacularly avoid nearly everything productive I’d planned. But here’s the thing: failing on Day -1 isn’t actual failure. It’s just one last reminder of why I desperately need this challenge. Setbacks are guaranteed, slip-ups inevitable, but I’ve got 100 days to turn procrastination into persistence. Perfection isn’t the goal; resilience is.

🚀 My Promise to Myself (and the Internet)

Tonight, I’m finally installing batteries in my fancy scale, taking those humiliating “before” measurements, and snapping the dreaded before picture. Will it be awkward? Absolutely. Am I going to cringe while doing it? 100%. But I promise to own it fully, nausea and all—especially considering I’m also taking my first semaglutide GLP-1 shot tonight. Nothing screams commitment like willingly inducing nausea. Public humiliation and medication-induced queasiness might just be the combo that finally keeps me accountable.

📌 Expectations, Excuses, and Reality Checks

I spent this weekend overwhelmed, managing to dodge nearly every productive task I’d scheduled. Procrastination is funny like that: no matter how long I delay, tomorrow still arrives like an uninvited houseguest. I even explained my mental blockage about weekend chores to my wife, and guess what? She gets it—working all week just to spend weekends cleaning truly sucks. But reality check: avoiding chores today only made tomorrow tougher. Lesson painfully noted. Avoidance feels comforting at the moment, but it inevitably leaves a disaster to deal with later.

💡 Discipline Isn’t About Knowing—It’s About Doing

I recently saw this tweet by Gary Brecka:

And he’s right—sort of. These health gurus love pointing out how easy discipline is on paper, but knowing what to do isn’t the issue. The real challenge is doing it consistently. Discipline isn’t magically conjured by motivational quotes; it comes from preparation, accountability, and real challenge. It’s easy to tweet about discipline—much harder to build it into daily life.

🎯 Your Official Invitation: Let’s Do This Together

So here’s the plan: my alarm is set for a responsible 9 PM bedtime and a horrifyingly early 4:30 AM wake-up. Knowing my anxiety, I’ll probably be awake staring at the ceiling by 3:00 AM, but that’s fine—because after the first day’s physical exertion, anxiety-induced insomnia won’t stand a chance. I’m genuinely excited to replace that anxiety with exhaustion, because honestly, it seems like a healthier trade-off.

I’m inviting you, right now, to join this challenge with me. Let’s fumble through this self-improvement chaos together. Share your goals, your setbacks, your sarcastic jokes about fitness clichĂ©s, or your most absurd excuses—I promise, I’ve used worse. Tomorrow, ready or not, we’re starting. So, milkshake in hand, here’s to embracing the chaos, humor, and (hopefully) triumphs ahead. Let’s make the next 100 days count.
