Challenges, Challenges

I often ask my clients what they would like for me to do for them, and how they would like to be coached.  An answer I hear a lot is “Challenge me”.  Everyone loves a challenge…it’s a thrill to work toward a goal that seems from some angles to be impossible.  It’s a total high to reach that goal that once seemed undoable – the excitement is contagious and the urge to tell the whole world can not be contained. 

People that have a lot of weight to lose often feel bored.  Bored with eating the same old things, bored with doing the same old exercise, bored with being “healthy”.  After all, they’ve been doing these things for quite a while, and progress is often slow.  Progress can speed up when a little bit of competition is thrown into the ring.  If I told you I don’t think you can lose 5 lbs this week, you would probably work as hard as you can in order to prove me wrong. 

I’ve been planning a “challenge” event for quite some time in my mind.  I am bringing it to the forefront in the coming weeks, and I can’t wait to see what transpires.  I bet the results will be mind-blowing!
