Episode 030: "Whats' Next?
Episode 30

“What’s Next?” Setting and pursuing fitness goals can be hard. But achieving them can sometimes be harder… at least, that has been my experience. I don’t mean the process or journey of the accomplishment, I mean when you have officially achieved your goal. After you're done, what’s next? This happened to me recently after being invited by James Stella to participate in a 7 week challenge at Kaizen Crossfit. I have talked about this challenge before but not much since I completed it. During these 7 weeks I was diligent about my diet, exercise and mental health. On more than one occasion I respectfully declined some amazing food that was not on “the list”. By the end of the challenge I was down 17lbs, moved 3 notches on my belt and felt better than I had in years. I was even getting compliments from my new friends at the box. James also told me that if I could stick through the 7 weeks, that I wouldn’t have to do any extra running for the Ragnar I was signed up for. Well, he was right. I set personal bests on all 3 trails while shaving over 10 minutes off my overall time. But what happened after I achieved this goal? Nothing! As in, I did nothing. After I finished, I figured I could take a day off. So I did. Then that day turned into 2, then into a week and 2 months later… here I am. You might ask yourself, “if it was working so well, why did you stop?”. That is a great question! Unfortunately, I don't have a great answer. The thing that came to mind is that I don’t have a specific goal right now, just a blanket, “I’d like to be in better shape”. For me, training without a goal is hard! I know some people that can train day in and day out no problem. That’s just not me. I need a goal. Like the great Yogi Berra said… “If you don’t know where you are going, you’ll end up some place else"
