Challenge !

Hi Guys,

Thought it might be fun to ask everyone to do something different and tell us about it! I'm going to go Interval Training after work today- never done it before and am nervous/excited!

I'm also going to go on a six mile walk on Sunday, and buy myself a new handbag, just for the hell of it!!!!

Do you dare challenge yourself to do something different?! Why not do a sport you've never tried before, or go along to a new exercise class?! What different things can you think of to Challenge yourself? Maybe cook an exciting new recipe?!

The motivation bit comes from doing something you are scared to do - and doing it anyway!!!!

Let me know how you get on

I'll bite Tatybear.

Today, I am going to walk the mile (give or take) to the store and run back. Is that challenging enough?

I say that a lot and then find some excuse not to do it. Like Sunday, my husband and I walked to the store.  I wanted to be the one to initiate the run, but elected to walk faster instead. Well boo, I'm going to do it today. If I can run in place for 20 minutes for the Wii, I can run the distance.

I'll let you know how it turns out.

XTremely Nervous/Excited

OK Tatybear,

I took the challenge.  I didn't do it the exact same day, but I got off my duff and did it Sunday, Aug. 16.

I follow the instructions from someone else's post about getting started running.  I ran a block, walked a block until I made it back home.  My motivation to finally run? I had to use the bathroom so bad (lol) and was a long ways from home (lmao). I really don't care wha made me do it. The point is, I feel great knowing that I CAN DO IT!

So I'm going to make it a habit. Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. Those are my days to run.

I also plunged in a ordered the Slim N 6 program.  I don't know what impact it will have, but I think like this. Any exercise program is only as good as the person doing it right.

Anyhoo.  Thanks for the motivation.
