30 days challenge

I've just started 30 day squat challenge. I was inspired to do this by a Matt Cutts' lecture. He is a computer science specialist. He said that firstly you have to state what you always wanted to do. Then just do it. Only for 30 days. It is not for very long so even me with terrible (not) strong will is able to do it.
Matt did photo every day and he was surprised that the remembers each moment clearly. He did not eat sugar for those 30 day. However in the 31st day he had eaten tones of sugar. For 30 day he has written a book, it was not good but it was his dream. For 30 day he had been cycling to work and he still does. Now he is more self-confident and from a guy they was only sitting by his desk he has changed into a person that is cycling to work for his pleasure. And after a few 30 days sessions he had climbed on Mount Kilimanjaro. The highest mountain in Africa. Matt said that there is nothing to loos because this 30 days would pass anyway, so why we should not try something that we always wanted to do, to change in our life. I believe that this challenge is not about doing those things that we will plan, but it is about breaking the routine in our lifes and realising that we are able to do whatever we want, because we state our borders and capabilities and that is something what should always be in our mind. This challenge is very important for me because I do not want it to be a flash in the pan (as usually) but a step to change my life and I believe that this time I will be able to engage in this action and do not resign when first obstacles will occur.

Here is Matt's presentation.
