[@pattysmith542]

Al, don't let this 75 challenge cause you more stress and anxiety trying to keep up. Just live life. Be happy, let your faith in God and family get you through this. ❤

[@ruthfederico2526]

Al, this says it right. If you miss something, don’t stress. Stick to the program. If you miss, forget what you missed, pray, and continue. Don’t stress over anything.❤❤❤❤️❤️❤️

[@juliephillips8583]

One day at a time

[@joannepickering1646]

Take the word failure out of your vocabulary. It takes 30 days to create a habit. You've made it through every day so far and that's a 100% success rate.👍

[@heathermiller1318]

Hence why the challenge is 75 days long. Set two new habits and get used to them.

[@karengossett1475]

Oh honey, it’s not about winning, it’s that you even challenged yourselves! Do not put so much pressure on yourself and just enjoy it! You have your priorities straight and that is the most important 🙏😘💞. Love you Kevin 🥰

[@sherrithomas5776]

Those little Munchkins are sooo precious with their little voices. With God, all things are possible - so keep it up with your challenge.

[@dfcrone]

Brother as a guy who dealz with PTSD, Give self a break. Important. Main deal is the Journey. You got THIS!

[@user-po8oh7ks8z]

WINNERS( like you) never fail! In the Bible the Lord said I am your great reward - your shield and strength. You CANT fail!!!

[@dfcrone]

@@user-po8oh7ks8z I soon learned when out in the field, there is no God, there's only you. Sorry.

[@ALTMowing]

An old Chinese proverb quotes " the journey of a 1000 miles begins with a single step " Don't be so hard on yourself. No one guaranteed a smooth journey. Just keep stepping towards the journey. I just want you to know that you have been such a wonderful influence on me. I have so much respect for you. Peace and love for you and your family. God bless.

[@gordbaker896]

AL as others have said, do NOT consider Failure. Positive thoughts. It does not matter that you do 75, only that you make an effort to regain that which is inside you, out of reach for the moment. YOU, not necessarily hard stuff, diet, etc., with do it for YOU. You have a wonderful family, talent and the 'good stuff'. Wish you lived nearby so we could go for refreshments and talk motors and mowing. Do what you like and do best. If yoiu like your job You will never have to work a day in your life!

[@BrendaOsif-zk4fp]

I’ve never seen a puzzle table like that! WOW! Don’t worry, you’re doing great. 💚

[@pennyhicks317]

You two are great I have watch your mowing videos and love all you did for people . But I love watching your family videos

[@prestonwashington3754]

Exactly, don't use negative words to describe your day,you only have one day at a time and it's about quality time and not the quantity of things..🙏🙏☮️❤️👍☯️

[@terrileyda5346]

Don’t be hard on yourself! We’re all works in progress! You’ll meet your goal! We’re all behind you Al! You’re a terrific with an awesome outlook!❤❤

[@LisaCobaltblue]

One can't fail. We learn everyday how to better ourselves. We may have obstacles but we can climb above them or find ways around them that better suit our daily struggles. You and Shiloh are already doing great. You have 2 little ones that adore you. Enjoy these precious moments. Life moves fast. We need to smell the roses and skip to our hearts delight. Best wishes to a new year.

[@SueHawkins6816]

FAIL= First Attempt In Learning. Do what you can with what you've got. God is bigger than any challenge. Cast your cares on Him.

[@labbrockington7854]

Al, don't be so hard on yourself. Take it one hour at a time, then one day at a time. I'm proud of you just for trying. 🤗🙇‍♀️💖

[@lyndanorton6705]

Al, don’t have anxiety trying to rid yourself of anxiety. Do what you can and get used to having a routine. Then as you go add to the routine. Kevin is a super sweet guy and he obviously cares about you and the family. And you have all of us that see you everyday day…we care about you too. Remember Jesus is holding your hand and he is waiting for you to ask him to take all your worries and problems you are experiencing…that’s what he does. Love you my brother! God bless you and your sweet family.

[@christinestill7303]

Failure comes only when you give up. It is okay to fall short once in awhile; start again the next day and just don’t give up. This is success.

[@whilethevossisaway]

Al, you are already a success because you actually started the program. Every day you put some effort, no matter how much, into the 75 day hard program you win. You’ll have good days and not so good ones. You only compete against yourself, no one else. It’s all good, really. Do the best you can every day, even if that effort is minimal. Don’t let the negative thoughts in-replace them with positive words. You have a positive impact on people , you do make a difference out here.

[@lovetohuntlovetohunt6241]

Not even close to an almost fail, Al Anytime one puts such a good effort forth, that said one would never be considered a failure! All we can ever do is try our best to jump our own hurdles & know that if we need to go around a few of them, we'll jump each of them twice the next time😊 🙏🙏

[@ksueb7788]

I feel like gardenia lady got to you and AP. I hope you forget her. Once you feel healthy and strong I hope you can remember how it feels to help someone else and how much that fills your soul. You have made me cry at various times when you help someone and, lately, thinking of your very own struggles but you and your family have also made me smile and laugh. I hope you have more laughter as the days go on.

[@LEM19284]

It’s always ok to fail and get back up again. Just learn the inner lesson. Don’t be harder than you can handle.

[@lc5346]

Don’t let this challenge get into your head!! Like I said in your previous video not everyone is the same so just tweak it and make it your own!!

[@susiem3660]

Looking & sounding great! One minute, one hour, one day at a time! Heck, 75 will be here before ya know it! Much love to you & yours!

[@carmenpedraza3908]

Al your not a quiter we know you can do this your one positive strong young man ! God's got your back your never alone 🙌🫶❤️

[@bonafidemc]

Let's start by NOT using negative words for your obstacles; there's no such thing as "almost failed." If you didn't fail, you succeeded twice as much! Whew, good job! We doing this!

[@user-kc7ey9ho8m]

Thanks for letting us know that you are safe at home after your trip! Rest now and snuggle those precious little babies! Do not worry about tomorrow, God will send you strength for each day! You are loved beyond your wildest imagination. See you tomorrow, Bladez Family!

[@carolm3055]

A challenge is a difficult one. That's why they call it a challenge! Keep the faith and excellent work doing your healthy challenge!!

[@marciprice1833]

Don't worry, Don't put pressure on yourself. Do what you can everyday.

[@kathyhutnick7745]

Al, please don’t put so much emphasis on this 75 hard where it causes you to think you failed. We are all human and deserve a break. A rest. Peace. Maybe you and your beautiful family would benefit by taking one day to rest. Don’t do any work or anything that causes stress. I love you and your family and want peace and joy for all of you. ❤

[@margaretkur8161]

I agree. We all need a day of rest every week. For me it's Saturday Sabbath.

[@sidneylanier2505]

Just remember, God never takes you to anything HE can’t get you through!

[@shelleymaynard7913]

Practice makes progress, not perfect! Mistakes are not failure....it's just another way to learn.

[@bonnieolson8028]

Hang on All. You can do it!

[@juliejohnson4146]

All I know is y'all kids are ANGELS! Your so blessed! GLAD YOU HAD A GOOD GETAWAY

[@katherinekubach5738]

Take it easy on yourself. Don’t stress about the challenge. You are doing great. Just starting is way more than most of us do!

[@handtalker2k]

FAIL is nothing more than First Attempt In Learning so since you are learning you can't be failing. 😊

[@dianamangas9398]

Don't push yourself to hard ,so proud of you both

My favorite part is always seeing your children, when they say see you tomorrow, melts my heart. ❤️🥰❤️. P.S. love you and Shiloh too 🥰❤️🥰

[@rickmennen218]

AL don’t give up you can do this. You are a good role model. I’ve been watching your mowing videos and watching these family videos and they inspire me to do other things and eat healthier. You and Shiloh can do this. I have ADH and I can’t sit down and read a book but watching your videos relaxes me and being around family helps a lot too, so you have a great evening and looking forward to seeing your video tomorrow God bless and Godspeed❤❤❤❤✌🏻🫶🏻👼🏼👍🏻⛪️

[@blushtopaz695]

What a nice surprise! Kevin is such a great guy and very supportive of those around him. Keep up the good work, Al & Shiloh.

[@wvdeede]

You are doing a GREAT job on your challenge! You both are inspirations!!! Keep it up!!! I sent you a message on your Facebook page last week about a fantastic young illustrator with some samples of her work. I hope you got it!!! Again, you BOTH are inspirations!!!

Life is worth fighting for ✨️

[@girlpharm]

Al, it's not about the destination, it's the journey. Each day is a new opportunity for you to keep moving forward. You have a ton of support on here as well as your family and friend you see often.

[@creinicke1000]

Learning or changing anything takes repeated efforts.. couple of steps forward, a step back.. start forward again.

[@Clymers1984]

Al, I’d love to give you hugs & tell you how special you are!! I’m a mom of two sons, and three grandsons. Our youngest son was in a fatal car accident 3 years ago. We miss him terribly!! I just want to give you mom love!! Everything is going to be okay 🙏🏼🫶🏼♥️

[@conniesmith3922]

Al and Shilo, you are doing a wonderful job with your children and yourselves. Give yourselves some grace to relax now and then and enjoy life.❤❤❤

God Bless you and your beautiful family. ❤❤❤❤

[@samuelball8775]

Just enjoy the challenge buddy and don’t be too hard on yourself. You have family, friends and work too. It’s a marathon not a sprint as they say. I know it’s meant to be tough but 2 x 45 min sessions is tough when you have all you have going on too. Enjoying watching along 🤙

[@vickicobb1505]

Hey there Al I read all the comments and replies put a thumbs up on most all of them. Because of all the kindness and love in them. I have ptsd I'm medicated I use sleep as well to keep the hours of each day that I face but I can't sleep all the time there are things I have to do to survive. I have a wonderful loving husband who helps me and makes sure I'm alright. None of these things mean more to me than Jesus Christ. When I was twelve years old I had a friend who wanted me to spend weekends with her she moved to a city not far from me and she started going to Church. She told me that if I was going to spend weekends with her I had to go to church on Sundays I didn't want to I tried everything I could think of to convince her otherwise. Well she was firm and I went to Church. From the first Sunday I insisted on sitting in the back. Every time I went I listened to the Preacher he was good he kept my attention but when it came to the end when the invitation to go to the front and accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour his words were not enough to make me do it . Around the third week I began to realize a feeling inside urging me to do it as time passed the urging got more intense until one day I found myself standing up and walking to the front before I knew it I was on my knees being led in prayer I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour. The next week I was baptised in water. My sins were forgiven I felt it I was happy about it. But I was so stubborn (been that way all my life ) I let the world pull me back before I even thought about it. We graduated I got married no more Church for me. I have always loved to read and fortunately for me throughout my life people gave me books one lady Mrs. Swank who was a stranger I saw everyday riding her bike wearing a wide brim hat my mother and I walked past her everyday and I would smile and say hi to her I was about five years old close to six. One day she slowed to a stop smiling at us and started talking to us she must have been around sixty years old she had a paperback book in her basket and when she asked me what I liked to do I told her I liked to read she asked my mother if she could give me her book mom agreed and Mrs. Swank pulled her pen out and wrote in it ; To Vicki with love from Mrs. Swank the name of the book was Pilgrim's Progress. I still have that book and a picture of her. I'm sixty six years old now I took great care of my books. I love you and your family and there is more to this story but I have to go to bed so if you don't mind I'll come back to this one video to finish it. GOD bless you and your family talk to you tomorrow ♥️🛐

[@ritaspear1258]

Don't press yourself to feel you need to do all these steps of this plan you set up for yourself. You need to relieve the pressure on yourself and take one day at a time getting stronger and getting through each day with less stress.

[@iffyangel3380]

Al you are so blessed. How about just enjoying those precious blessings each MINUTE and not try to be perfect. No one expects that of you. Enjoy your life!

[@martinab7476]

You are blessed, look around, I have had a hard life and now my children are fighting an evil women with a baseless law suit out of pure spite. We don’t hav3 the resources to fight. Enjoy your blessings, you can ,so do it , you are in a good place , you really are , live fully from now on

[@dianemarkley7467]

Al. Don't put more pressure on yourself. One step at a time. When you fall, you get back up. YOU GOT THIS!!!!

[@robertshrewsbury5067]

A lady described to me someone recommending to her that she make huge changes in her lifestyle, while a full time caregiver for a dying husband. Right now, she is making changes, but they are moderated. Simple things she can do and partial cutbacks on sugars, and "a step up" in foods she eats. She is making pretty good progress but it still feels pretty strenuous to her, with her currently still strenuous life (post husband). It is good to make improvements, but you might halve your exercise times for example, or read 5 minutes instead of 10 minutes. We all agree you are a success for trying but it is o.k. to find an initial gradient(s) you can actually manage.

[@brianremson5176]

Remember it's not pass or fail it's doing the very best you can. Challenging yourself is great, but it can be like a resolution, it's not life or death it's about your mental health and being happy with the skin your in. Enjoy 😊

[@geronimome4153]

Every journey starts with the first step. You've done that .now just enjoy the rest of it. It will work itself out. Remember these words "just go with the flow" and everything will be fine.

[@skmarrama]

Kevin is going through his own journey with his mom. That was extremely kind of him to think of you guys! Hang in there Al and Shiloh. You’ve got this! If you find life gets overwhelming, there’s always fishing. Can’t think of a better way to de-stress. It’s only been a few days, on top of your diet changes. It’s a lot but I think it will pay off.

[@sallylambert7552]

Oh Al! You really pressure and push yourself hard. Ive made goals but basically ive tried to keep life simple because i dont need more stress. On one hand i admire you and im amazed. On the other hand in worried you pressure yourself hard. You seem fine to me. Its ok to not be perfect. Its ok to have faults. I would never imagine these traits in lawn care guys to be so hard on yourselves. To me you guys (like for example you and Kevin) are terrific guys with hearts of gold. I might expect this pressure from motivational speakers, philosophy majors, high level educators etc. Do you understand my thinking? Maybe you have so much time to think cutting grass. So much id like to say and explain but there is no space. Anyway i wish you the best. I know you will be successful. Im 77 now so i try to be laid back and loving with myself. Was it the great philosopher Bugs Bunny who said i am what i am! 😘

I have done this challenge 3 times. First time Failed at day 45. Second time failed at day 15 and third time failed at day 25. I will be starting it again in March. You got this!!! Failure is for lessons :)

[@bd663]

Constantly challenging yourself to reach new goals is creating more stress and anxiety. Quiet your thoughts. Get out of your head and be present with your family and friends, work and life. Do what you enjoy doing. Spend quality time with your family. Make time for work, if you can manage it, and eat healthier but not OTT. Everyone here in your community wants you to do well. Don’t listen to any naysayers. You can be your own worst enemy if you do. Sleep in. Read or don’t read. Eat healthily but treat yourself occasionally. Do nothing, absolutely nothing, sometimes. And the final thing I recommend, turn off your video camera when you aren’t working. You need to give yourself and your family a break from prying eyes. Good luck and I look forward to seeing you mow again. ❤🇦🇺
