Hey everyone me kevin here: well, here's a little update on the fitness challenge. It sucks. So in case you don't remember. I made a challenge that i would go from being able to run about an eight minute and ten second mile to under six minutes by december 31st.

If i failed, i'd have to shave my hair uh. That i think, is a hard, very hard goal to accomplish. Within whatever was 39 days or something like that, uh, but but not impossible, i also made a challenge that i would do uh 200 push-ups in a row and if i failed either of them, i would shave my head well. This led to an outcry from the fitness community.

I said: kevin 200 push-ups is not possible. Even for people. Who've been training for six to ten years or whatever you know, maybe maybe like a hundred over over a few minutes or some kind of time, but but not not in one stretch. So we've revised that i pinned a comment.

I revised it and, and we've revised that 260. well, i feel like i'm going backwards. Uh, oh somebody's flying the drone anyway, i remember back in like 2017, when those things were cool uh anyway. So so here's why i feel like i'm going backwards.

First of all, the last few days i've tried running every single day. I have run every single day and two days ago i ran like 5.7 miles and this was like dead, slow pace. I mean, like 10 11 minute miles, just more like a jog and i feel like it's more just to get me in shape and actually feel like. I uh i can get through a workout because now i go run a mile, and - and this is me afterwards now i did run a couple miles as a super slow, boring, jog uh before i just tried running a mile again now i ran a mile again And i got nine minutes and seven seconds and i'm like wow yeah, definitely feels like i'm going backwards and don't even get me started on the whole push-up thing like as soon as i get to 20, i start collapsing.

So i feel like a really like day. Four in it feels very, very discouraging, like obviously you don't see any kind of physical change, you don't feel any kind of change. Yesterday i only slept like two hours because the market was going stupid and i posted the video at 2 am, and i was up again at uh like 4 30. Okay, so maybe two and a half to three hours, whatever uh to to do market open, live stream.

I tried having a monster, and i tried running on that. I got like a mile in on a 13-minute jog, pushing a a stroller and i'm like. I just got ta walk back so uh. There are a few things that i'm learning so far number one not sleeping enough works if you're, just gon na sit in front of a computer with coffee and like this all day long, which speaking of which my neck hurts uh.

It's possibly because i slept wrong or it's because i'm not used to actually keeping my head straight. It's been two years of which is very bad uh. So um, that's not a drone. It's a plane, that's cool! I don't know if you can see it.

It's pretty small, but anyway uh yeah. I i'll say it's not easy. Now i'm not getting discouraged uh, it does feel discouraging, but i i i think, i'm not a pro. I think you have to go through this sort of pain period where, like the first two weeks, are probably the most hellish, because you can't even like get through your goal.

Workout. My hope is that uh after the first two weeks of this remember on day four, i could actually go all right. I'm gon na jog a mile. You know 10 minute 11 minute, like just psychological break mile uh, and then i'm gon na go race a mile and and i'm gon na start, hopefully seeing that time go from uh well, where it is now, after a mile, nine minutes and seven seconds to you Know 8, 30 to 8 to 7 30 and slowly work my way down uh that way.

So i really, i expect to see more gains towards the for end of the first week of december. That's when i'll be about two weeks in uh, then i'll have like three weeks of go time to really improve and prove improve, we'll see, uh, i i don't know, but that's my hope, that's my goal. Uh. It certainly doesn't help that you know when you're going through these challenges.

You don't want to be like a boring person and uh, not uh. You know go to have parties with your friends and family thanksgiving and uh. You know maybe occasionally have a drink. I'm just saying uh that doesn't help, but i i think there's a way to get through that, and it probably just means working out more uh and uh and being a little bit more choosy, but i don't think you have to make your life miserable.

I certainly don't want to do that. I see a lot of this. The point of this anyway is to to feel better uh to feel uh more in shape or or uh whatever, and then just to to do it as a challenge. So super excited about that.

Challenge-Wise but uh, it's not easy. Now. One thing that i will say that i highly highly recommend for hello that i recommend, for everyone is find something that you can do where you can just be away from everything like away from twitter notifications, away from email news, notifications, uh crypto, buy alerts. Oh my gosh, it was what was it it was yesterday.

Crypto fell to like fifty three thousand eight hundred and i'm just sitting there watching the chart all day long. I send out an alert, i'm like. Oh, no, it's on it's under 54. It broke 54.

This. This is the beginning of the downtrend uh. If, if we hold under 54, that's a bad sign saw it dropped to what 53 6 or something like that popped back to 53 7. grabbed one, and i'm like there's no way.

I'm not gon na buy a little bit of a nibble here so uh i bought a bitcoin at 537 yesterday sent an alert for that. I'm like okay, i did it. I nibbled one and uh, and - and then you know now it's back to. I don't know over 54 8 or something like that.

Fifty five thousand whatever uh these nominal price fluctuations anyway, but i have fun with it, but the problem with it is like you sit there, you stare at the chart. You can't think and uh something. That's really important, i always feel like in life not to get like philosophical or boring or whatever, but is you got ta have a quiet place where you can go and actually start planning and thinking about? Okay, what am i gon na do next? What's the next goal for the family? What's the next goal for work? What's the next project for work whatever right, i don't know personally, i think that's pretty important, so i'm going to hope that my neck pain is just from having slept weird and wrong uh to all the haters who are like me. I don't like to color your hair sucks for you in the meantime, maybe i'll even get a little bit of color uh and i'm trying not to go farmers uh, not that there's anything necessarily wrong with that.

But i'm trying to avoid that uh. But you got ta, be careful, don't go out when it's like uv 9. 10, like it is in some parts of the world right now, it's like a uv4, because it's no it's less than that. It's like 2.9 uh, because it's like what is it two 1pm in california and yeah anyway, it's super low, i'm not super worried about it, but uh anyway.

Thank you. Folks really appreciate you watching this wish you the best out there on your challenges. Good luck!.
