Welcome to the Challenge!
Hey Family!
I've been pondering how I can get our family back into shape and came to the conclusion that if we had some way to keep each other inspired it would be easier. So I set up this blog so that we can post our goals and progress. We can challenge each other or give each other a hard time for slacking. Clearly this is an honor system type of thing...I mean it would be stupid to cheat cause it's only hurting yourself, right?
So here's the idea: I want everyone to choose one of two options. Then DO IT!
Option 1: Choose an organized fitness event (ie. 5k, 10k, half marathon, etc). Post the date of the event and your goal for it whether it be a certain finish time or just to finish at all.
Option 2: Choose a general fitness goal. This can be big ("I want to lose 5lbs!") or it can be small ("I want to be able to do 100 sit ups and push ups!"). Regardless, you must set a realistic date for you to reach it.
Pretty simple right? If you have any ideas for other options, run them by the group and we'll all decide whether to include it or not.
**Note: You will notice there is no prize involved (monetary or otherwise--except the obvious joy and fulfillment you will feel completing your goal). Because the goals are going to be so different it would be relatively impossible to determine a winner. Do it because you don't want to be fat, or tired, or not be able wear shorts this summer, or hike up a mountain, or...
And finally, some good advice:
