What a great system! Thanks for sharing how you accomplish this. And handmade notebooks — what a cool idea! Love it!

Those notebooks are very artistic. That seems like a good way to keep track of your numbers. Your numbers look on track to finish early. You really caught up this summer. Awesome.

That’s fantastic that you have caught up in your numbers. It takes dedication and you have lots of that. Injuries are difficult during the test. Part of the test is how you get through them and preserve. Modify what you can so you can heal. Keep of the good work.

Great job in your dedication to completing your tasks. I hope you’re aware that arnica helps with bruising. I even took the internal kind in the months leading up to my shodan test. Keep up the great work!

I can testify to your numbers since I’m the one that gets the dojo alarm notifications at odd hours from you popping in and every time the video thumbnail pops up, it’s of you working diligently. I’m proud of your work. You’re almost there!

What a beautiful picture! I’m glad you had a nice long trip with family and friends. I hope that means you enjoy camping!
I’m glad you padded your numbers before hand. But to mirror back, you said “All my hard work down the drain.” I’m curious…wasn’t that the intention of doing that? So is your hard work down the drain or did you accomplish your goal? Is it reasonable to assume the numbers will ebb and flow, like the tide? Perhaps you’re experiencing Isshinryu code #2 ~ The blood circulating is the same as the moon and the sun. To me, that code says things will come and go. It might be an interesting experiment to see how that perspective might lighten the load of the challenge. Keep up the great work! So excited to do this journey with you!

That’s great you were able to camp for 8 days with family and friends. I find the outdoors to be invigorating, relaxing, and refreshing. It so helpful to have family and friends help motivate you for the challenge. They will be your support throughout this challenge.

I’m glad you enjoyed visiting the Eastern seaboard! I love the hydrangea picture. I had a gorgeous hydrangea bush at my home in Delaware, and this reminded me of it. So you added 6 states to your “now visited” list. How many have you been to? Do you hope to visit all 50?

That’s a beautiful picture with all the colors of the flowers. I am glad you visited the east coast with your family to make wonderful memories.
