Hello, friends!
I wanted to extend an invitation to join me in a little challenge over the next week - nothing too intense, and just for fun, to expand our horizons together and make things interesting…
Try something you’ve never tried before.
I’ll be doing this too, and I was hoping some of you might join me along the way and post what you’ve chosen so we can all live vicariously through each other and share ideas :)
My boyfriend Chris (who is also my business partner) and I had a conversation recently with a new client who had never been to a group workout class before, and she said that she hadn’t tried anything new in awhile and that it was time to branch out.
This really got us thinking - it’s so easy to get wrapped up in our usual habits of doing the same workouts, eating the same foods, watching the same shows, going to the same restaurants… Don't get me wrong, I love a good routine! It's just so much fun to pepper in new activities and experiences now and again for a little variety :)
So in order to change things up, Chris and I are going to try something new this week!
It’s always so much fun to branch out, and we’re always glad when we do.
I remember a couple of years ago I went down to Long Beach to visit my best friend I’ve known forever, and we went to her boyfriend’s parents’ market and picked up a bunch of our favorite fruits and treats that are hard to find in the US (at least in Santa Barbara)… I brought them all home to Chris to try which was super fun, because he’d never even seen most of them before and it was a completely eye-opening endeavor for him :)
Dragon fruit, lychees, longans (dragon eyes), rambutans, jackfruit, mangosteens... All the good stuff!
My friend is Taiwanese, so together we’ve explored a lot of food from Asia over the years - we have had a long-standing agreement that if she tries something, I have to try it too no matter what, and vice versa. It has forced both of us out of our culinary comfort zones many times, and it’s been such a fun and interesting learning experience!
We’re not sure what this week is going to bring for us, but we will let you know! There are some workout styles Chris and I would like to try out, we might search out new food if we can, experiment with a new supplement… Who knows! But whatever it is, we’ll keep you posted :)
Please join us in making this week interesting! Let me know what you try in the next 7 days - Chris and I are super excited to hear your stories!
The only guiding suggestion we're going to make is that you choose something healthy to try :)
We’re going to use the tag #trysomething if anyone would like to use it too!
Please feel free to comment, upvote, or resteem if you’d like! :)
