December Challenge!!!


Hello, all!

I hope you had a lovely and restful Thanksgiving! I know I did. I spent most of Yesvember (that's right, Yesvember) taking each day to be thankful! It has been a wonderful month, and it made me realize how many blessings there are around me each day that I sometimes take for granted. God has put our lives together so intricately, it's humbling to think that He took that kind of time.

And now I present to you my latest project: The December Challenge!

The December Challenge is based on a simple premise: I want to finish 2011 with a bang! Instead of holiday weight gain (which I may have experienced a bit over Thanksgiving break), I want to finish the year strong! So I am making a challenge-- what do you want to accomplish for the month of December? How can you promote a healthy lifestyle that will propel you into 2012?

My December Challenge Goals:
  1. Be active 6x a week. It can be little things or a full out gym work out, but my goal is to get some activity in 6 times a week.
  2. Avoid drinking sugary drinks. My weakness is sugary drinks. Soda pop, sugary coffee drinks, hot chocolate, etc. But it's such a shame to drink my points plus because it just leaves me hungry! So, no sugary drinks for the month of December.
  3. Walk 50 cumulative miles over the 4 weeks. In all this activity, I would like to log 50 miles of either walking or running over the course of December. This sounds like a big number, but it is actually quite attainable.

So those are my December Challenge Goals! Who is with me in the December Challenge? What is your goal?

Happy Thanksgiving,
Sarah

  2. Dridge, i'm in too :) Cait....i'm glad you're on here too!!!! :) My December goals is to be active 5 days out of 7. It can be walking the dog, dancing with my daughter, or anything. I run and do zumba too...but those are actually "workouts". I tend to make BIG goals for myself ("work out" 5x/week) and I don't stick to it. So my goal is to just be active.

    1. Being active 5 out of 7 days.
    2. Tracking.everything.always.
    3. Being honest with myself.
    4. Staying motivated. This blog definitely helped last night!
