Good Afternoon Everyone! A lot of us on here are always trying to find some external source of motivation. What do we do when no competitions looming or other things to keep us motivated and accountable. Often we will find sponsored logs, challenges or transformation contests to help motivate us. I think these are all great!
However I have noticed that sometimes that people are way to easy to up and walk away from a challenge or competition. Especially online where the pride doesn't take as big of a hit. You walk out on a challenge online there will be another one soon and no one will really hold you accountable for skipping out. Well I am hoping this thread can change some of that for us. At least for the next 3 months anyway.
In an effort to make this challenge mean something a little more to anyone who is willing to get in on it I wanted to give it more meaning. This is what I came up with. Each of us will make a pledge that we will achieve our MEASURABLE goals by 8/1/2017! If we do not achieve ALL of the goals we set for ourselves we will donate $100.00 to the charity of our choosing. If money is tight you can choose the option of volunteering for no less than 4 hours at the charity of your choosing. You will be required to show proof of the donation via receipt, or time spent volunteering via something on Charity letterhead stating you completed 4 hours of volunteering in order to be able to hold your head high and look at yourself in the mirror for having integrity!!! Not following through on something like this would really define you as an ass clown if you did not stick to your word!!!
I am hoping that will be enough motivation for everyone to stick to it and either help themselves, or be forced to help someone else via charity if you fail to meet your goals.
This way no matter what happens something positive comes out of it.
Secondly the rules of the challenge are that we will have 3 basic areas for goals to be made in. You can choose one, or something in all three areas which is what I chose to do.
The three areas are
Physique Based Goals - specific goals, aka lose 10lbs, make abs visible, things that are measurable in a pass / fail kind of way.
Performance Based Goals - Increase bench or squat by X amount of pounds, run a mile nonstop, or in X amount of time, do 100 push ups non-stop.
Self Accountability Goals Workout X amount of times a week, prep food & meet macros for X amount of meals or X percent of meals met.
I will post up my goals and whatnot as an example. Lets keep them pass or fail type of things. Something that can be measured or visibly obvious. Like I will keep track of how many meals I am supposed to eat total an put X on the meals I missed or did not get close to the macros. At the end I can take the total number of X's and divide by the total number of meals and get my % of adherence. Same with training session met or completed.
The Pledge - I will meet the requirements I have made for myself by 8/1/2017, and will have others in the AnabolicMinds community verify I have met my Physique and Performance Based Goals. I will also show documentation supporting at least 80% adherence for any and all Self Accountability goals I set for myself. If I am not able to complete all of these goals by the end date of 8/1/2017 I will either donate $100 or volunteer for a minimum of 4 hours at a charity of my choosing. I will provide documentation of the donation, or volunteering by posting my receipt, or something with the charity letterhead on it stating I volunteered for a minimum of 4 hours.
I invite any and all interested to join in on this. It is an opportunity to help yourself and or others. I would like as many people as will follow along on this to get in on it. The idea is simple post up your measurable goals, and add the pledge above to the post. We will all kind of keep each other going and motivated in here. You do not have to log here but can if you want too. However progress updates in here would be great and spur some conversation and support. If you want to, place a link to your log if you want others to follow along. At the end we will go through and look at the goals and the updates and see who succeeded in all of their goals, and who needs to donate or volunteer. At that point each person who donates will post up that they have with a receipt then we can add up all of the money and know how much we were able to raise, and that collectively we have improved not only our own but others lives as well.
Okay let's get to making the world a better place starting with ourselves!!!!
