It's the last day of 2015. That means it's about time to kick things into high gear! As we all embark on this journey, I will do my best to keep the gauntlet active, asking questions to keep the conversation and interaction moving forward. I'll try to maintain an air of accountability through here, and have a few things in the works that should be of value to participants. Hopefully I'll get that stuff out first or second week of January. One of the things that I wanted to do, and didn't manage in the S&F 2015 thread, was to do a wrap up post outlining all of the accomplishments made throughout the year. Unfortunately, there are a couple of key points that I missed. That brings me to this next point.
There is one thing that all of the goals added so far have in common. Even though some are Journey Goals, others are Destination Goals, and others are just public declarations of forthcoming change, every one of the goals on the
tracking post share an underlying air of
pure progress. Every person here is planning on making progress this year. In this thread it's specifically about Strength & Fitness. This is nice, because we are changing our abilities
and our bodies. Progress is difficult to gauge without one very important thing. That thing is a baseline. In the context of this gauntlet, it's about what we can do now, along with other metrics like weight, body fat %, etc. One of the more important yet mercurial stats is how we feel in our own skin. So while I'm not going to say that one needs to post or make public where they are at now, take this last day of 2015, and figure that out. Write it down somewhere. I'll post my stats here, because once you post a picture of yourself in your underwear (last year's thread), a few numbers don't really make a difference. Take a before picture (although don't feel the need to post it). Towards the end of this year's gauntlet, I will try to get all the information on the progress we will make. And if people want to do a before/after thing, we can post that too.
Here's to the New Year. They year in which we will all kick ass!
