Body For Life 12 Week Challenge Completion

I thought that the challenge was 90 days. In some places I’ve seen it written 90 days, others 12 weeks, and others 3 months. They’re all pretty close to eachother, but I guess 12 weeks is the one that the Body For Life website goes by. I registered at bodyforlife.com with my start date of Jan 9 and got an email Sunday congratulating me for finishing the 12 week challenge. It’s time for me now to do a write-up and submit it to the challenge along with before and after pictures. I’ll be working on that this week.

This has been an awesome experience! I have learned many things that I will take with me and incorporate in my day-to-day living going forward. Now I’m mulling over in my mind what I want to tackle next. I’ve been thinking about maybe training for a 5k, 10k, then half marathon. If I do increase my running for that, I’m still going to do weights 3 times a week like I’ve been doing while on Body For Life. I don’t want to lose what I’ve worked so hard to get. Maybe I’ll do P90X or a triathalon. Maybe I’ll bike from New York to LA. Seriously, I was thinking the other day about how cool that would be. Some fireman rode their bikes from LA to New York in memory of 911. Google Maps says it is around 2800 miles. 100 miles a day. 28 days. That would be pretty awesome. I would need to take a month off of work, though. Then maybe another month to recover 😉 Some day…

Stay healthy, my friends! I’m going to continue blogging about my adventures as I seek to live a healthy life and stay fit.
