I totally agree as well – In fact, this is something I need to work on. I tend to forget to celebrate I think, so I really think I’m missing out on a great motivator.

Thank you for the great post – such a good reminder of how important the little things are!

I totally agree with you here. I used to be very apprehensive about celebrating little things because I always knew that in somebody else’s eyes it wasn’t that big of an accomplishment. I had to realize that everyone is not me, and that everyone doesn’t have to celebrate for me. I have to celebrate for me…and it really has made a difference. I drop a pound, I’m happy. I shave seconds off my pace, I’m happy. It works. Thanks for another great post.

I’ve learned over the course of my journey to set small, attainable goals (ones that won’t take me months and months to get too!), I remember when I first started it was like, my goal is 25lbs and I lost steam after awhile, because it seemed undoable. Once I learned to do 5lbs, or the next 5% or whatever, it seemed doable!

Great post Andrew.

I think I’m going to give the 100 push-up thing a try. Sounds kind of cool. I’d love to be able to do 100 push-ups straight.

Excellent post Andrew. Celebrating isn’t something I have really done yet — but I think I will need to reward myself when I cross through the 300 barrier into the “two hundred and something” territory.

Thanks for the explanation as to why you record your weight in pounds as well. I’ve often thought weight loss must be a different concept “down under” if recording weight in kilos.

I’m very pro celebrating. I reckon life chucks enough of the bad stuff at you, so you may as well make the most of the good stuff!

Can we have a video of the victory dance?

I’ve been totally inspired by your “mini-challenges”, so I’m looking at creating a list of my own.
