Back in late October 2015 I began Mission Best Ever. My intention was to be in the best shape I've ever been by January 16, 2016, my 51st birthday. As happens, I completely failed at this mission. I badly sprained my ankle and at
The same time had a major arthritis flare up in my foot that kept me out of the gym. While I say it was a failure because I didn't manage to achieve my goals in the time period I originally specified, I still lost 9.8 lbs and 4% body fat. Today begins Mission Best Ever Take Two.
The plan is essentially the same, but I'm adding a coach to the mix and that's going to make it interesting. I've also formed an accountability partnership with a friend, Melissa. These things are going to up my game in a big way. The time span will be from February 21, 2016 through May 14, 2016. During this time span my goals are to drop 20 lbs and achieve 10% body fat. It isn't going to be easy, but it is definitely achievable.
I am going to show all of you that setbacks happen, but your attitude about those setbacks will determine if you ultimately hit your goals or not. I am taking this as more of a challenge than anything else. I still managed to drop weight and fat despite the setbacks I experienced.
I hope you enjoy sharing in this journey that I am on and will come back on a regular basis to see what I have going on. I've added a special section where you can follow my progress called Best Ever Take Two.
