Testing Limits

I'm currently sitting here, reminiscing on the Do Life Better Challenge. In some ways, it tested my limits and pushed me to try harder than I have when it came to eating habits. However, as far as the rest of my life/fitness life goes, I have not tested my limits in a LONG time. Starting Crossfit tested my limits. Now, I'm comfortable at my gym and confident in my movements and improvements. Each workout pushes me further physically, but that is because I have a box, coach, and friends who encourage me. If I'm being honest with myself, I probably would not do these workouts if it was up to  just me. I've gotten out of the habit of self-motivation. I need to reach higher, try harder, and break through some boundaries.

Where am I going with all of this you wonder? Well, I am openly stating I am going to start a new journey. This new chapter of my fitness is going to be focused on testing limits, and accomplishing feats I would have never thought possible. I still don't even know what all I will achieve, but I am going to start with a couple simple ones.

I'm bumping workouts up to 5x's a week.

I will run a half marathon in April. I am going to start training for it very soon, and run with a perseverance I have not previously had.

I'm also starting a fitness Instagram, because I know documenting this new chapter will help keep me accountable. Feel free to follow me there. I will need all of the motivation I can get.

If there is one thing I could pass on it is to strive to not lose your self-motivation. Only YOU can make yourself healthy. Only YOU can accomplish your goals, and only YOU should feel the ultimate success in knowing this is your journey, and YOU will succeed.
