Okay gang, what can I (or we) do to liven things up in here?

I know my own pattern is to be all gung ho for three weeks then gradually slip back into old habits then after a month of gaining back everything I've lost, I get all gung ho again. So I'm looking here for inspiration to avoid the backslide.

I need an exercise mini-challenge. As the weather is changing and the lake getting cold, I'm finding every excuse not to swim. I could drag myself to the gym, and should, but man oh man my joints are flipping killing me right now, especially my hips, knees, and ankles, and driving anywhere and then all the walking involved in getting into the gym and then into the pool... it feels overwhelming. I know, I know... don't whine without a plan! So what's my plan? Well... I'll let the sun warm up the lake a little more and then drag myself in and stop being a baby about it. In the meantime, I can have a good cry and feel sorry for myself for an hour. As my shrink would say, "Feel your feelings!" instead of eating them.

I need to reconstruct several days and put my points in the spreadsheet. I ate some Croatian Jim brought home (oh! Hahahahaaa.... my phone changes the weirdest stuff... that is supposed to say" some crap that") and stupidly ate sugar which set off horrible cravings. Detoxing today. I think I stayed within in calorie range though. I hope so!

Soooooooo.... someone challenge me to something please?
