MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE!

Let's try something new.

TOO INSPIRED -- December 2016 -- FREEDOM FROM FAT CHALLENGE

Dec 19 ~ Run or walk the equivalent of a 5k aka 3.1 miles!

Dec 20 ~ Bike 5 miles stationary or outdoors...Just get out and move! If you do not have a bike another 3.1 mile walk for you!

Dec 21 ~ 20 pushups and 25 jumping jacks

Dec 22 ~ Helping hand ~ Lend a hand to someone in need. Babysit for a friend, run an errand for a neighbor, do something to make someone else's day just a little easier.

Dec 23 ~ Try a new workout. It can be changing up your weight routine, upping your videos intensity, even just running a different path today. Just try something new!

Dec 24 ~ 50 mountain climbers and 50 high knees.

Dec 25 ~ Have a great day! Be with your family. Tell everyone of them you love them to the moon and back!

Let us know what you think.

    Paula!!!!! I love you to the moon and back, too!

    It was 29 degrees when DH and I would normally be out the door for our walk this morning...NOPEY, NOPE!!! This kid does not play in that kind of cold. So, I just went to the gym and let our trainer take advantage of me!!! And I ate stuff I probably shouldn't have. Then I went to see Ronan and we played...I made animal eating noises on his neck and he made animal eating noises back at me with a big grin!! Made my day!!

    Hey :heart: :heart: !

    Echoing what you said here Shelley and Kathy on the other page. Crazy busy but still here. No babies to make animal noises, but my wampus does a pretty good kitty imitation. Haven't weighed recently - hoping it'll be okay when I do.

    Luvs ya!

    Me too! Next week should be better. Went to school w/DDD and Ronan...played w.Ronan while DDD set classroom up for January. She's totally disappointed that the subs did not even look at the information she left for them nor did they follow her teaching plan. Going back this evening. SIL has rugby practice until late. I'll stay til about 9:00. Tomorrow I'll shop for Christmas Eve dinner and set things up for that along with helping DDD.

    DH is getting slowly better. Hope to be walking w/him soon. I'll have to start going out by myself next week. And getting on the bike. And doing our challenges. ugh! I'm so lazy!

    <3<3 you all!!

    Muahaha, Chris you are not lazy! Just taking a break with the rest of us. I am exercising a little. Busy at work. Still missing my Timmy. :'( And staying busy. I have been weighing. Just trying to break even. I am off the next 3 days.

    Freedom! Off work till Jan 4th! just realized I didn't set any out-of-office messages, oh my, oh me... Just means I won't get paid, the "honey do" list is huge. set up finances, clean kitchen table (again, funny how that accumulates), visit sick friends, call lawyers.

    Our walking group at work has been growing and wants to stay active during the holiday so a few of them are coming over Tuesday to hike in my neighborhood. It will be wild and exotic compared to the cemetery in Half Moon Bay.

    Glad your DH is doing better, Chris. Hope he is 100% soon. I still remember having substitute teachers in school - can you say "vacation day"?

    So sorry about Timmy, Shelley. :cry:

    LOVE YOU ALL!

    Chris, Derek & I gave each other simple pedometers for the holiday and went for a walk today; yep, 2 miles is 4,000 steps. :bigsmile: will clip it to my bra during work and see what the days add up to. It may encourage me to use my standing desk and walk in place.

    Clara, so fun in N'awlins, you lucky duck!

    Kathy, still busy, still here. :)

    Shelley, good job with the weights! I'm hoping to get hooked on lifting again now that I have time during the holiday.

    To my inspirations, :drinker:

    Paula that is great. Walking with your friends on vacation. Hope you are not needing lawyers for something bad. Good luck lifting. Took today off.
