Intro - Why I started a 30 Day Challenge
I started my 30 Day Challenge to work out every day (including weekends) on August 3, 2011. I got this idea from a book by Dan Furman, Start and Run a Real Home Based Business, which I read 2-3 weeks ago. In his book he challenged the reader to take a walk every day for 30 days -- if you can't do that, you shouldn't start a home based business he says.
"Hmmm...interesting concept", I thought to myself. I mean, you're telling me if I can walk for 30 days I might have a chance at owning and operating a home based business? Sounds simple enough.
I couldn't see myself taking just a walk every day so I modified the challenge to exercise every day. For the past 22 days I've been doing parts of the GSP Rushfit workout and others I've designed myself. I can do this!
=============================================
Day 22
I didn't get the idea to start documenting this experience till a few days ago. Anyway, I never thought I'd hit the "I don't want to do this" the "Maybe I'll just skip today" hurdle.
I woke up with a head ache. Wah Wah Wah. Yeah that's right. I was a cry baby today. "I'm just not feeling well today" I told myself. And I really wasn't. Do you know what it's like to wake up to a brand new day and get welcomed with a cranking head ache? "I'll continue my challenge tomorrow." I thought to myself "Maybe just not today." So...I went a bought a coke (which usually causes my headaches to subside) but the head ache still lingered.
The moment right before I started my 30min. work out I felt terrible. I really didn't feel that motivated to do it. But...I remembered my promise to myself. I forced myself to do it.
When I finished, I realized that it wasn't all that bad. As I'm typing this now, my head ache has cleared up! I feel fine.
Anyway, I had wanted to quit/delay/procrastinate a couple of times this past week -- and it's ONLY Week 3. I have 1 more week to go and then I'll re-evaluate my progress what I learned.
Thanks for listening.
