Today It Begins… Again!

So today begins another new step of life: a fitness challenge!

Last fall, I competed in a 12 week fitness challenge where we were given our daily workouts and weekly food list to prepare. Although I competed part time with being banned in my house from some viral sickness and at least a week with a sprained foot, I managed to tighten my belt and come in first. I was so happy. My first fitness challenge I’ve ever won.

Now, I’ve found another opportunity to compete in a fitness challenge. This one is much bigger, over 100 contestants, and even though we are given some workouts and kind of a food list, this one is much more guided than told.

Am I excited? You better believe it.

There is something about a challenge, knowing I’m going up against other people that keeps me motivated. It keeps me motivated to stay on track with my diet, to stay on top of my workouts (usually the lesser of the problems).

So here it goes. Pictures are going to be taken, some of my food is ready to go (ran out of time yesterday to prep it all, but today it will be done!) and heading to the gym tonight. Time to take control and EARN my body.
