I hope you had a fantastic vacation in Scotland. The challenge is designed to be difficult. If it was easy everyone would do it. I tried to do a little bit every day. Little steps add up to be big steps over time. Look at where you started and where you are at now. This is your challenge so go at your pace that allows you to finish the challenge in a year.
