A New Challenge

I’ve decided... I’m taking this whole workout thing up a notch.

My initial weight loss goal was to reach less than 190 pounds. Yesterday was my lowest weigh-in yet — 192! I’m almost there. When I saw that I had just about reached my target, I realized it was time for me to set my sights on a new goal.

The biggest problem is deciding what that should be. I really don’t know what I want to do yet. I’ve been kicking around a few ideas including a sprint triathlon, an adventure race and long-distance biking. I’ve even though about trying out kickboxing. The better I feel physically, the more I want to do something to put my energy into. As you can see from the list, marathon isn’t on there. I just get bored running, so that’s out.

I want to ask my readers for some suggestions. What do you think I should do?

Leave a comment or a suggestion. I’ll pick one and write about the whole training process and maybe even post a little video from the event. I think this could be really fun. Anyone working out at Body-N-Motion is encouraged to join me.

Normally I leave you with one quote. In my search to find a quote about pushing your limits I came across two people who have truly overcome their limits.

“I seldom think about my limitations, and they never make me sad. Perhaps there is just a touch of yearning at times; but it is vague, like a breeze among flowers.” — Helen Keller

“They say the sky’s the limit. And to me that’s really true.” — Michael Jackson
