100 Days on 5BX and Looking Ahead

Yesterday marked my 100th day with the 5BX exercise program.  I must say I've come a long way since making that Lent promise to give up video games (ie: Wii Fit U) and switched to the low-tech exercise plan.  There have been a few days I've missed, either due to sickness or soreness, but I do have 100 successful workouts logged in my Google Sheet!

Assuming I consistently hit my daily marks, I figure I am only 60 days away from meeting the programs prescribed goal of Chart 4, Level C- (I am currently at Chart 3, Level D).  Part of me is wondering what I will do when I get there.  Would I cut back on the progam, doing it every other day instead of everyday?  Would I stop the program altogether and move to a different exercise regime?  I know it's a bit early to start thinking about things like these, let alone a bit more than shallow to focus on the end when I'm little more than halfway through the journey ("It's the sides of the mountains that sustain life, not the top."  -Robert M. Pirsig).  That being said, my focus should be hitting my marks and nothing else.

This is going to be a short entry, but I leave with the knowledge that fitness is a lifelong affair.  The fact that I've kept up with an execise program for 100 days is awesome (last time I did something similar was a few years ago with Wii Fit Plus).  I don't know if motivation was the problem why I kept dropping programs.  All the same, I'm glad I found something that works for me right now and look forward to keeping myself healthy.
