This 8 week challenge represented a commitment from me. My whole life, I have always been active. I love sports and would play a sport every season. Basketball, Football, Baseball, Track, Cross Country...sometimes I would be doing two at a time. Even in off season, I would be playing sports with friends and family. Due to that, I was always in shape (and I was under 20, so my metabolism was kicking and could eat whatever I want). I was never someone who was muscular, cut up, had abs, or anything like that. But I was fit.
Then the real world jumped in and my health and fitness started to fade. I continued eating the same junk I ate as a kid and thought my body would react the same way.....it did not. I also tried to stay active but could not find the energy or time to make sure I went to the gym or played sports. I no longer had games, practices, and coaches to keep me accountable. I no longer had friends across the street that I could go outside and "play" with. So when I got home from work, I was faced with decisions every day. Do I go to the gym? No, I had a stressful day, I need to relax. Do I eat something healthy? No, I will tomorrow, today I really want a pizza. And that added up through time.
Occasionally, I would get inspired to change and say "Today is the day I am going to make it happen!" And I would start on a workout plan, start eating habits and be excited that my health would change. But...after a few weeks, a missed workout would slip in...a missed meal would come around....ice cream would be bought...and before I knew it, I was back where I started. Fortunately for me, I had enough moments of brief inspiration so I did not allow myself to be completely let go, yet I was frustrated that I was not a the level I wanted to be because I was never committed.
But then came the 8 week challenge! A carrot for me to run to. A motivator to stay focused for more than a couple of weeks. My goal in this challenge was to get abs. I have never had abs before, I actually believed it was not possible for me but I do believe it now. I did not get my abs in this challenge because I still had my moments of weakness...missed workouts....ice cream...pizza....ice cream :) But, because of the challenge, I was able to pick myself back up and get focused again. Now I am on a path to a healthier happier me and I know that when I submit myself to my next challenge, abs are going to be the results and I cannot wait to see those results come through.
