Sunday Story…What’s next?

You’ve completed your fitness challenge or at least you have been reading and thinking and watching the videos so what do you do next?

Several choices…

Easy: Go back to doing what you did before the challenge. Slip back into your old habits and give up your progress and gains. After all, you can always get the same results you have always gotten.

Sort of hard: Do the next challenge. Keep moving along, working out hard but with a bit less intensity maybe. Eat right most of the time, except on weekends, special occasions, or when you just don’t prepare your food. This way you can stay on track.

Hard: Do the next challenge. Drill down your food consumption, weigh everything, control your consumption, even on cheat days, stay away from alcohol, work out with intention and focus every time. This is next-level stuff. Whatever your current level is this is a higher commitment to your health and fitness.

Really Freaking Hard: Don’t do this. This is where you tip past health and fitness and into an unhealthy obsession! I speak from experience.

Don’t do easy. You have worked really hard to get here. Giving up all that work is like cooking a meal and not eating it. You deserve to enjoy your health and fitness. You worked for the reward, enjoy it. Taking the middle way is healthy and doable. You are already most of the way there! Going harder may not be the best thing for you but we will support that choice if you want to make it.

Whatever you do, don’t stop now!
