Robert asked us to reflect on what the Meltdown Challenge has meant to us and write it down and turn it in tonight. After writing it I felt compelled to share my thoughts with each of you that I have experienced it with.
What This Meltdown Challenge Has Meant To Me:
Since Daniel and I started working out with Sweat 360 at the beginning of the year, I felt like doing the challenge would just be a continuation of those workouts. In some ways, it was. In many other ways it wasn't. One of the things that I value the most out of the MC, is and will be the relationships that I gained with the group. This was unexpected for me. I just thought that we would come together as a group and leave when the workout was over. I never expected the camaraderie and support that I have felt during the MC. I truly look forward to hearing the successes and challenges that each of us go through. I have, at times, not even felt like working out, yet I was encouraged to keep going, keep moving, and keep breathing. I too have enjoyed sharing what I am experiencing and have been able to help others in the group to keep going.
In doing the MC, I feel that I have personally challenged myself to new limits. On many days throughout the MC, I challenged myself to do two workouts. This often felt torturous, yet I lived. Someone in the group one day said “I can do anything for six weeks,” and I believe that and if I can do it for 6 weeks then why can’t I do it for six months or six years? In one of the first episodes of Biggest Loser this season Ashley asked her mother ‘what will happen if I go in there (the gym) and can’t do it?’ Sherry, her mother, responded ‘what will happen if you CAN do it?’ As those of us know that watched the show, she came in 2nd place. Often in life one fails to experiences all that the world has to offer because of fear of failure. I feel that going through this MC has given me a new found zeal for everything that the world has to offer. I am a healthier person, I am a stronger person, and I love myself more than I can ever remember.
If there is one thing that I wish beyond all that I have stated, it is this: that those who went through this with me see the change that is possible in their lives and continue in this course, never forgetting that they have it within themselves to make that change to be healthier, stronger and to be able to do whatever their heart’s desire in this wonderful world.

P.S. I want to thank each and every one of you including Kili and Robert for all the love and support that I have felt during the MC. I commit to continuing in this course and challenge each of you to do the same. All my love, Terrance
