Challenge

I'm doing my first official One Strong Chickadee challenge. I really want my page to be fun and interactive so I'm trying to do challenges, giveaways, group activities, etc. This is not just my journey and I recognize the need to share with others going through the same journey. That said this made me very nervous. I not only did my first challenge, which is still going on so get on board with us, but also my first video. EEK! I was not sure what my 193lb body would look like on camera doing jumping jacks. I wasn't sure if I would sound like a moron. I wasn't sure people would watch it! I think it was pretty successful. I love hearing comments from people that are moving out of their comfort zone and trying this workout. That is what success is all about. Trying new things and achieving them! There is not a time limit. Just do your best. You'll be amazed at how fast your body will adapt!

Watching my video just brings tears to my eyes. Just two weeks ago now, a little over a week from filming the video, I couldn't get through that workout with out stopping several times. The jumping jacks alone killed me. To watch myself do all 99 in a row without stopping is amazing to me. It shows me that my body is capable of change. My mind is capable of change. That if I just persevere ANYTHING is possible. It's such an empowering feeling.

I want that for you guys too. I want you to look at that mountain and say "Piece of Cake!" You can do it. It doesn't matter how fast anyone else goes. It matters that you start, you do your best, and you finish it. This is not a competition. It's life! Let's go live it!

If you want in on the challenge come visit me at my facebook page. I'll link the video as well. Let's make February as rockin as January!
