Day 30!!!! The final day
Today is a very special day - it represents the sum of my accomplishments, sacrifices and utter determination. I measured in at 5.4% bodyfat today, just .9% off of my target of 4.5%. Even though it's not exactly where I was hoping to be, my underlying goal has already been accomplished.
Many of you wrote in to me letting me know how this blog has motivated you to work harder at your own program or try some new things in the gym. Some of you even signed up with me (thank you)...
But what was really accomplished here was a demonstration of an individuals ability to reach a goal, regardless of life's obstacles, setbacks or obligations.
Throughout this month, like you, I faced many, many obstacles. Peer pressure, social obligations, summer school, dining out, drinking, cravings, travel, training others and running my own business. Regardless, I stayed focused on what my priorities were and tomorrow I'm going on this cruise to reap the rewards. To me it was all worth it.
But what about you? What epiphany are you waiting for? Are you going to keep telling yourself you're too busy to do something like this or that you have too much going on in you're life? If not now, when? If you have time to get on Facebook, you've got the time. If you've got time to turn on the TV after work, you've got the time. If you've got time to go out to dinner with friends, have drinks or get on the internet, YOU HAVE THE TIME! Put your foot down, set a goal and work for it. Strategize. Prioritize. Exult.
