FITNESS CHALLENGE

In order to motivate myself to get rid of the last 20 pounds I want to get rid of, I have decided to start a fitness challenge.  For myself this means I have PUBLICLY announced that I will give $10.00 for every pound I lose to Spirit of Women at their September fundraiser.  I win by losing the weight.  I am motivated knowing that I am helping someone else by doing this and I really do not want to let them down.  I am accountable and motivated in many ways.

I know that people struggle with weight loss or attaining fitness goals.  I have found that by making myself accountable top others, and making public statements, it encourages me and makes me accountable.  Thus nearly 50 pounds lost in the last year.  This is the reason I have decided to do this challenge.  It is not a contest.  It is not a public display of weight.  It will be a group of people who are there to encourage each other.  A group of people who will hold each other accountable.  A group of people to share ideas about what is working and what is not working.  A group of people to share recipes and tips they have learned from either their trainers, others they workout with, or information from books and magazines.  This will be done, more than likely, via social media site like Facebook and Twitter.  The more people that join in, the more ideas can be shared.  I plan on stating what my progress is, what I have eaten so I can be accountable, and tips and recipes I learn from my most excellent trainers.

Anyone is welcome to join.  I will work out the logistics when I see what kind of response I get.  For myself, I will be posting my progress publicly because I am motivated to reach this goal and more importantly, help Spirit of Women.

If you are interested in participating somehow, get back at me at one of the links this blog is posted, or email me at rwjd12@gmail.com.

Let's help each others reach goals and help others.
