December Pick-A-Challenge Challenge

It's December. It's cold. (At least where I live.) I don't want to work out; I'd rather eat and turn the heat to "bonfire" settings. And so, here's a little motivational challenge for me, and everyone else who's thinking like I am.

Pick a goal. Any goal. Preferably not a goal that you already picked in another December challenge. (Yes, there are several of them. Yes, you can join them all. We don't mind.)

The goal can be anything. Swimming, running, yoga, losing weight, pushups, elliptical work, doing handstands. It's all good. (For this challenge, you are limited to a single goal, however.)
You can declare it in miles, yards, minutes, km, sessions, or anything else. It's all good, too.

Sign up here:
http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pfYL7DR_dx-AjdJbGUcWVYA

If you're not already logged in, you will need to enter the following information:
email address: [email protected]
password: challengeforum

If you can't access the spreadsheet, look at the right corners (bottom and top). If you see "edit this page," click that link and enter the above email address and password.


Winners will be rewarded and losers will be punished.
At the end of the month, you'll be named either a Winner or a Loser.

Winners:
People who meet their goal are WINNERS! You can add a signature line, "I was a WINNER in the December Pick-A-Challenge Challenge!"

Losers:
People who fail to meet their goal will need to do one of the following:
- Display an avatar that will motivate them for January. Or,
- Display a signature line, "I lost the December Pick-A-Challenge Challenge. I need to do better in January!"


The Challenge will begin on December 1st and end on December 31st.

In the event of injury/illness/personal crisis, you may request to be dropped from the challenge, without penalty.

If you achieve 100% of your goal before the month is over, you may request to raise your goal.


Smack talking:
-- Smack talking is not mandatory, but may be done. (Expect to see some from me. )
-- Smack talk is different from a personal attack. If you aren’t sure what the difference is, err on the side of caution and do not post the comment. (Keep in mind that real people are reading your comments!)
-- Smack talking is not to be taken personally. If you get upset about a post, ignore it and move on.
-- If you find a post offensive, and cannot simply ignore it: Walk away from the computer until you feel better, OR better yet, go for a good workout. A nice workout can do wonders for your perspective.

Welcome to the Challenge!
- Dee

I'd thought about having the punishment for losing be "Accept 7 cattle prod zaps from Dee," but I thought BT might not approve. (Do you think they'd let me taser people instead? )

Well, this one should help get me in the pool a few times during December. 

Thanks, Dee!

Ok - this is my type of challenge since Dec will be a recovery type of month for me before I ramp up for Ironman training Jan 1.  Just have to decide what i want to do...maybe core work?  swimming?  something totally unrelated to tri's????

Another question...what about all the people who WANT to get "punished"?  Shouldn't that be incentive if they win?  (Yes, I had to go there...)

You can do core work, or swimming, or something totally unrelated to tri's. It's all good.

As for your second question - It was just a matter of time until that got asked.

Our challenge team a few months ago was "Whips, Cattle Prods and Tiaras" (although by the end of the month, T really stood for Tasers). Yup, that was a fun month.

Sah-WEET! Now I have to decide if I'm doing running for this and logging food for the Limiter, or vice versa. Hmm. Will get back to you.

And you know, of course, that I want to be on a team where I can get zapped/tased/spanked full of motivation.

Hi Dee!!

I'm doing swimming in the limiter challenge, so I think I'll do biking in this challenge -- goal will be to complete all of Jorge's bike sessions, I think 3/week.

Ok I'm in, lets see a goal.........running or handstand pushups????  Can I make running my official goal and as a little side goal do handstand pushups?  I've always wanted to be able to do one of those.  So I think my running goal for the month will be 45mi.

Also, I too love a chatty team.

Chatty teams are fun.  So are whips.

I want a "motivational" chatty team.  Think that is possible?

And you know I need a chatty team and am full of ways to "inspire" less motivated folks, though I've never resorted to the whips and tasers route.

Well, the Horny Melons were motivational -- but not in a tasering kind of way. I seem to recall lots of Melon Presses though.

Added you to the spreadsheet with a Chatty Team request.
