30 Day Wellness Challenge! Day #4
Posted: July 23rd, 2010 | Author: Bonnie | Filed under: Cross-Training, Motivation, Strength Training | No Comments »I’ve embarked on a 30 day wellness challenge. I’ve always thought my greatest roadblock in getting (and staying) fit is a lack of consistency. This past year has seen great improvements, but I’m still battling the same issue. 10 or 12 days go by without me partaking in any physical activity. I’ve finally identified that the issue is not consistency, but integrity. If you ask me, I would say that I’m very committed to my fitness, and it’s a top priority. But when the alarm is going off at 5:30, 9 times out of 10 I’m hitting snooze, and going back to sleep.
It’s gotten worse lately. I hit on a solution that seems to be working. I got together with a couple friends and proposed a 30 day wellness challenge. The details are personal to each of us, and my particular challenge is to go to the gym 30 consecutive days. We have a phone call each morning on a free conference line where we call in and declare what we will do that do in the world of health. So far, so good. I’ve been to the gym every day for the past 4 days. I’m really excited about it.
I think this is more than just holding each other accountable. It’s creating something from nothing, then living into that. It’s giving me a chance to be someone I’ve never been. A person that goes to the gym every day.
