Day 15 of Challenge #15 – Halfway There!

It was MLK Day on Monday! While we wish we could have volunteered that day to celebrate the teachings of Dr. King in some way, neither of us got the day off (to be clear, we do volunteer throughout the year). We did, however, both get the perk of being able to work remotely. Working from home certainly has it advantages. We cuddled with pup as we checked emails and watched the Theranos documentary—The Inventor: Out For Blood in Silicon Valley—in the background. Highly recommend it.

After the work day was over, we put on our gym clothes. I don’t know if going to the gym is quite a habit yet, but the feeling of getting it over with is as strong as ever. It almost serves as a benchmark of productivity for the rest of the evening.

Hubby now has a standing racquetball session every Monday and Wednesday at 6 PM. With that scheduled and someone else depending on him showing up, there’s a higher standard of accountability for him. His session also influences me because I’m encouraged to head to the gym at the same time. By the time I knew it, 6:30 PM had come and gone. We were finally able to say that we successfully reached the halfway mark and were closer to completing this challenge than starting it!
