Wake up sleepy head challenge - may

[looksdeceiving]

Hi all, I hope i am not overrunning another challenge like this -- if i am just point me to it so i can join!!

i am a returning board member but haven't been here in so long i forgot which nick i use to post under years ago. However, i would like to try and support a challenge but its my first time so bare with me lol.

One of the things i would really love to do but suck at doing is working out before work during the week. The reason i would love to do this is because at the end of the day, i always have something happen wherein exercise gets pushed off and not done. UGH.

WHAT'S THE CHALLENGE ALREADY YOU ASK?
Therefore, I would like to see if people are willing to pledge how many days a week total a month they are willing to do their daily work out before starting their day. (for me lol this means getting up and to the gym by 530 a.m.)

I guess for whomever wishes to do this with me for the month of May, copy the list and add your name to it and your pledge of how many days a week total for the month (or pm me the information) and I will create a master list and tally things as the month progresses and i am not sure how awards go, but i would be willing to try and create one people can use as well as a sticker thingy to say you are part if the challenge. We can use this thread for reporting and yes moaning and crying lol and successes!!!


LooksDeceiving pledges 2 days per week totaling 8 days in May.

Hope others will find this interesting and join. If you don't join lol i think whomever does will need all the encouragement people can give!

I had already set a personal goal for myself to workout twice a week in the AM so joining this challenge will most certainly keep me accountable!

Re: Wake up sleepy head challenge - may

I prefer morning exercises, but havent been doing them in the first 2 weeks of Induction. Induction Flu + TOM etc derailed me. I restarted on Friday because I wanted to begin May right. This challenge came at the right time and will be a great motivation. Thanks..

ADBB requirements are that you run any challenge by Jimmy 48, Super Moderator, and get permission before posting the challenge. There are not any requirements about graphics except that they your creation and not copyrighted material and not obscene or offensive. Yours is too cute!

This is a great idea.

Re: Wake up sleepy head challenge - may

Okay--I'm in. I'm not a sleepyhead by a long shot, but my good intentions of exercising before breakfast goes out the window if I am not accountable to someone else. I know in my head how much better I feel, with tons more energy for the rest of the day, if I Just Do It!!! I still don't do it. I'm good for four days a week. I love to walk early, but we haven't seen the sun for nearly a week, and the forecast is for rain until at least next Friday.

Re: Wake up sleepy head challenge - may

Hi Sunnysmile501,

Okay, i didn't ask for permission as nothing i read indicated i should. What i did find and read was this -- That says regarding contacting a mod if you don't think as a challenge leader you will finish let a moderator know but doesn't speak about having to obtain permission before posting a challenge. Unless i completely missed the part you speak about, maybe its posted someplace else? Can you link me to the other rules that indicate what you are talking about? i would rather not start something then have it get pulled disappointing others who have already joined because i missed rules? Thanks!

smiles, i thought the graphic was cute lol and SO true for me when i work out in the mornings! Glad to have you join!

Re: Wake up sleepy head challenge - may

I'm in. I definitely need this b/c I can't seem to get in the groove of exercise. So, this will hopefully motivate me. I pledge to wake up 4 days a week at 6 a.m. to exercise. Do we need to come here each day to report whether we completed the workout?
