Default Calling all maintainers - time for DO-cember!

In the same berrylicious spirit as NO-vember, but with a positive spin, this month's challenge that can earn you a cute little strawberry for your signature:


is DO-cember

Time to DO some things you just know you ought to.

More exercise?
More water?
More positive thinking?
It's up to you!

Every week you stick to your DO-cember vow you get a to add to your signature indicating the number of weeks you have been Berrylicious

So, who is up for a challenge - starts Wednesday!

MY DO's - I am making them measurable rather than subjective.

1. Drink at least 2 litres of water each day.
2. Start gym work - 2 x per week at least. I already walk each day (have to with dog, but enjoy it anyway).
3. Read PP cards (personal positives) 2 x per day.

THAT'S ENUF or I'll never add to my berryman total

My DO's :

1. 2 litres of water a day minimum

2. exercise of some sort for half hour x 3 a week (will try to get on the exercise bike, but walking at least)

NGU
No 3 = DO more thinking

I am currently growing my first ever crop of strawberries. I have managed to gather quite a few and the birds aren't even trying to get them.
Hubby is waiting to blast the rear ends out of the swallows trying to nest on the outside speakers near the bbq so maybe the words has gotten around

Hi

I'm in.

1. Drink my water for the day before I have a diet coke. (Boy, I love DC)
2. Up my running to four times a week.
3. Listen to and learn from my body - Ask "What am I really hungry for?"

I'm excited. I love strawberries!

Hi Jlou

Can anyone join this challenge?
Or do I have to be on maintenance?

Have been struggling to drink my quota of water.

1. I DO need to drink 2 x litres of water every day.
2. I DO need to keep my diet coke to only 1 x litres

cheers, Fem

Hi Jlou, I earned 4 strawberries but the wee dudes refuse to appear on my signature.When I right click on your strawberry it wont give me the option of just copy, it says copy image as and when I try to paste that it is a sad blank and no beautiful red berry Can a moderator do it for me ?
For Do-cember I will do HIIT 3 times a week, 1.5 litres of water a day ( the lady doing our detox thing said for my height and weight 1.5 is the amount I should drink but if fellow Cohenites think otherwise speak now or forever hold your peace , general running/walking 3 times a week, airclimber 2 times a week at least and skip 2 times a week,climb at least once a week.
Thanks for the challenge and what will we be doing for January ?

Then we will hae FAB-ruary...

Ok my goals for DOcember:

DO at least one cardio session per week (on top of the PT strength training)
DO create a visualisation board or book to focus on positive energy in my life
DO get to sleep earlier (this will of course be subjective - and is likely to involve less time on forum!!!)
