With only about a week and a half left in my Quest, I've already started reflecting on the experience, and envisioning me and my post-Quest life.
A few weeks ago, a dread set in that I never wanted this experience to end, the support and accountability over the last two months has really been good for me. However, now that I can see the proverbial fork in the road, I'm ready to go my own way.
The experience has been amazing. I'm leaner, stronger, faster, and more flexible than I was when I started. Catherine has provided us a fitness base on which to grow on; Cardio, Strength, Stretching, Endurance, and Body Composition. Reminders to work on these areas are posted for me to remember to work all of these areas throughout the week.
Along the way, I've started to tire of some of the regimen.
I haven't logged food in a while. I didn't wear my Bodybugg most of the weekend. I've taken a break from our conference calls. Realistically, these things go away for me in a couple of weeks, so maybe I've started to shun them a bit early. That being said, I'm ready for one last push here.
The Bodybugg is firmly affixed to my bicep and I will be on our next call.
As I mentally prepare for the next phase of my personal journey, I look ahead with cautious optimism. With my interest waning in some of the aforementioned areas, I'm realizing that this is a critical time for me, as this is the same time frame (about two months) when I have lost interest in past efforts to get fit, lose weight, etc., etc. What's different this time? My broader goals of getting fit and being happy versus losing a certain amount of pounds or looking good for a particular event will be ever-present as I move ahead.
Which road will I take? The one posted "You # 26.2 miles"
