December 2020 Add 'em up Goals & Habits Challenge ~Join us!

Come join us in setting and achieving goals to promote your overall wellness! We are a friendly and welcoming group who love to chat when we have time, but please also feel free to join us if you want to just focus on your goals. No pressure here to address everyone; share as little or as much as you want!

We have been doing this challenge for many years now. While it is not strictly about fitness goals, we agree that our daily life goals work together with our fitness goals to make us happier and more balanced, so we combine them in this challenge. Feel free to join us! You can tailor it to your schedule if you need to take a week off for vacation or only count so many days. Whatever works for you!

Premise: Choose your goals for the month. Every time you complete a goal you get a point. Multiply your number of daily goals by the number of days in the month. This is your max total points. If you choose, reward yourself for reaching a certain percentage of your max possible (I use 90% for my personal goal), multiply by your max to get your total goal points. I also give myself extra credit options.

**Take this challenge however you wish. I used to total my points all the time but have fallen away from that and now just track my goals. There really are no rules, your challenge is your own, we're just here for support and to help each other with accountability. We would love to have you join us!

Today's workouts
40 minutes (from SIJ reset + PT exercises for pelvic stability & glute strength) T-AM
8 minutes (from L. Holden 30-Day Qi Gong Challenge day 11) T-AM
16 minutes (from TurboJam Burn) T-AM
20 minutes (from Urban Rebounding Latin Bound) T-AM
45 minutes (from XTrain Bis & Tris) T-PM 1st time

I have decided the only way to get in what I want is to do Rowvember every other day. I can't get in the rebounder and kickboxing or dance on the same days I row, it's just too much with doing Cathe too. But that's okay! Now I just have to schedule it all the right way so I'm not starving before I finish everything and so I can fit in yoga!

ETA: Oops! Forgot it's December. Reposting to that thread!

I got my goals up for December. Goals are mostly the same but I'm taking a new approach. I'm going through my Daily Exercise Chart and getting rid of exercises that I never do or have mixed results with. With my alignment issues and muscle imbalances, I'm really supposed to focus on unilateral exercises and get the most benefit from them so I'm making a stronger effort in that direction to find more exercises to fit the bill. I found a new youtube channel that has been interesting called Citizen Athletics done by a PT and am getting a fresh look at some exercise options.

Yesterday was super windy and blustery snow for Dec 1st so I didn't walk but hope to make up for that today. It's gorgeous out! Hope everyone has a great day!

My rowing meter distance is in miles so 2.7 miles is around 4345 meters. That makes me feel much better!

I had a dentist appt smack dab in the middle of the day at noon, by which time I am never done with all my morning stuff, plus I am still tired, so today has been a rest day. After the dentist I had to run to the grocery store and frankly going anywhere just drains me these days. I did get the groceries put away and folded laundry so not a completely lost day. I have been working on my December spreadsheets since I got home bc I didn't get them done yet. We spent the long wknd up north with my father-in-law and since getting home I've been trying to do things I should be doing.

Mell, Our goals are almost the same!!

Katie, It was really windy here yesterday too!

Vannie, you'll be happy to know my blow up Santa was face down on the porch when I got up this morning. I'm sure my doorbell caught me chastising him.

Hi Sherry!
