A new goal

I was doing some thinking and thought that I needed a tangible goal to work on. Something where I can see progress every day, but at the same time, something that will have a great impact on my health.

I decided to set a goal for myself of performing 10,000 push-ups by June 1st, 2009. That means that, on average, I will have to do 55 push-ups a day. That's quite a few push-ups, but just think of the effect that this will have on my body!

I am setting up my life so that I align the things that I like to do with the things that I want to achieve. I love tracking things, but I also love to see progress on a daily basis, so a goal that can be worked on every day is perfect for me. Also, having a goal which can be worked on from anywhere is another way I am setting myself up for success.

Finally, I am posting the goal and the current progress on my blog page, so that I have the accountability and motivation to achieve the goal. Encouragement is appreciated. :-)

Impressive, Ivan! And the best part is that I know you will DO it. As well, you are setting a fine example for the rest of us. Considering that I now have a new exercise bike in my living room (from which I can see/hear both the tv and computer), and a lovely pool nearby (available 24 hrs/day), would you consider suggesting a challenge (an achievable one!) for me?
