Today I finished the EA Sports Active 30 Day Challenge. Yea! As a master of creating excuses to avoid physical activity, it’s a pretty important milestone for me. The results? Well, I haven’t experienced a Biggest Loser-esque physical transformation, but weight loss wasn’t really my goal. I was aiming more for a general increase in my fitness level. And maybe getting two tickets to the gun show.

So, I’m done. It’s over. But what now? In the final “pep talk” video, Bob Greene suggested taking the 30 Day Challenge again at a higher intensity level, or creating a custom workout routine. I’m thinking I’ll be doing the latter, because schedule-wise, I won’t be anywhere near home in the next month. I’ll just be content for now with the fact that I was able to commit to a workout program for longer than five minutes, and that I didn’t smash my TV while attempting jump squats and boxing drills in the living room.
