The Sustainably Wellthy Challenge

I have a weird countdown on my phone to the day I turn 40. As of this post, it is 481 days and 6 hours away. Or 68 weeks and 5 days. 15 months, 3 weeks, 5 days. I'm starting to sound like a mom with a toddler..."she's 17.5 months..." SHE'S ONE AND A HALF.

Maybe it's because I'm not quite 39, but I'm not ready for 40. I don't feel 40. 30 was fine. 30 was easy. Your 30's are awesome. I think my 40's will be awesome too, it's not that. I just can't wrap my head around FORTY.

ANYWAY, about 4 months before my 30th birthday, I decided to get in the best shape of my life, and I did. One of my best friends at the time was about to turn 40 the same month, and my dad was turning 60 later that year. We trained together all summer, and I mean we TRAINED. My dad is a very well-trained martial artist in jiu-jitsu, king-fu, and other disciplines with several blackbelts, and he's also extremely well-trained in firearms. My background in nutrition & fitness and my best friend's coaching background combined made for some serious superhero training that summer. I moved away a couple summers later, but we all still reminisce about that summer. Had I not moved away and she went to teach at a different school, I think we would be Avengers by now.

What we did was not extreme - we got together and trained every day and had fun doing it. It was sustainable to the point we could have kept going had life not pulled us in different directions (except my dad, he's retired and still plays martial arts every day, at almost 70).

So as I approach 40 in 15 months 3 weeks and 5 days, I want to do it again. Only this time, I want all of you to do it with me, and not just for the next year, but in such a sustainable way that this is a lifestyle that carries you into the coming years and even decades.

I hate calling it a challenge because that insinuates that there is an end date. At some point, participants will stop and revert back to their normal ways. This is a system, an ongoing sustainable lifestyle. I'm merely tagging it a challenge so people can identify with what it is, but my hope is that there is no end date. That the lifestyle you adopt on the Sustainable Wellth Challenge (SYSTEM), becomes your norm.

So join me! It's free to join and follow along. I do have to make a living somehow so there are more detailed plans and trackers and such at (minimal) cost, but you absolutely don't have to have those things to be successful on the program.

I hope you learn something from it. I hope it challenges you, helps you grow, and teaches you habits for long-term wellth. And I hope to learn things from all of you. Let's do this.
