  1. 66 Miles in 6 Days?

    I have 66 miles left for the December 100 - how did I get so behind?

    I have to get the 66 miles done in the next 6 days.  I’m pretty determined to get there!  It’s going to take a miracle but we’ll see.

    I have family in town so I’m thinking of suggesting we do physical activities together instead of sitting around eating!

    I hope you all are close to your 100 miles!  Have you all picked a goal for January yet?

    I would love love love it if you would help me spread the word about MonthlyMiles.com so we can get more people on board with us!

    Tomorrow I meet with the trainer and perhaps bike 11 miles.  I then am going to a hockey game with my younger cousins because it was my Christmas gift to them.  I’m so excited to see how many calories I burn with my BodyBugg tomorrow.  It also tracks steps too!  Pretty bitchin’ really!

  2. Showing off my new BodyBugg under my shirt.  You can hardly tell it’s there.  I’ll just tell people I’m on house arrest. Hehe ;)

  3. OMG!

    I got a BodyBugg for Christmas.  OMG OMG OMG! :D

  4. Just Another Day in Trainingdise

    Oh boy.

    So today is my last day of work until January 4th and I couldn’t be MORE EXCITED TO GET ALL THE TIME OFF.  CAPS CAPS CAPS!

    However, tonight I have a training session with my trainer.

    He’s also getting me my foam roller tonight.  I’ll be able to use it at home and am really looking forward to that.  I don’t like doing it at the gym.  I don’t like people watching me roll around on a foam roller. lol

    I really need to pump up the mileage over the next week and a half.  I’ve got plenty of time off so I have no excuses.  I HAVE TO REACH THE 100 MARK!

    I am setting myself a goal of 100 miles as well for January.  I can do it.  Yes, I can!

    I launched Monthly Miles today and am really excited to see the participation.

    Are you all ready for a great 2010?!

  5. My New Baby: MonthlyMiles.com

    Thank you all for participating in the December 100 with me!  I came up with the idea to motivate me to exercise and set the goal at 100 to push myself but also allow for an attainable goal!  Reading everyone’s progress makes me so happy.  Many of you have commented that the miles are the only thing that get you into the gym!  I feel the same way!

    I created MonthlyMiles.com as a place for all of us to pick our monthly goals and log our miles as well as see how well the group is doing as a whole.  This also allows non-tumblrs to participate with us.

    So come join me over at MonthlyMiles.com!!

    You can start logging your miles now (or even going back and entering all for December if you wish) but we will all kick off the new challenge on January 1, 2010!

    Feedback is very welcome and I would appreciate it so much if you could help me spread the word about the challenge!  The more people we get involved - the better!

  6. So Anxious!

    I am just a few moments away from sharing my new website with you all that will allow us to pick a monthly mileage challenge and log our miles.  We’ll also be able to see the whole group’s totals.

    Stay tuned! :D

  7. Good News - December 100 Folks!

    Hey guys!

    I am so happy to let you know that I am a few days away (maybe even sooner!) from launching the new site that will let us set monthly mileage goals and log them as individuals and as a whole team!

    I’ve been working very hard over the last week and am so excited that I’m so close to being able to share it with you all!

    It’s so cool to hear that you are looking at starting a website to host the December 100 and that we can log our miles there! My BFF [who is currently Tumblr-less] wants to hop on board for January.

    Thanks so much for putting this challenge out there for all of us. It’s helping me so much! I know without it, I would be steadily packing on the pounds this holiday season!

    XO

    Thanks for the message! :D

    The site will have a place for you to log in, pick a goal, and keep track of your miles.  It will also have a running total of everyone’s miles.  I’ve been working really really hard and can’t wait to show you guys next week!  I hope everyone can follow me over there.  It’s a great way for us to all keep track and to get non-tumblrs to do it as well!

  9. Operation Stop Drinking Diet Soda

    I am in day 2 of Operation Stop Drinking [Diet] Soda.  I have been a soda drinker my whole adult life and quitting the stuff is HARD.

    I found some quarters and my first thought was “YAY! SODA MACHINE - here I come!” and then I have to remind myself I’m trying to cut out the hard stuff.

    It’s so hard.

    I am going to join you on this. I never drank soda (regular or diet) until this past week and I’ve been making up for lost time.. I wish you the best of luck. Also, thank you for starting the December 100 challenge. It’s got me walking way more than I ever would have walked..

    You’re very welcome about the December 100.  Everyone doing it with me are inspiring me SO MUCH.  I’m so proud of everyone.

    I’m creating a website to formalize the challenge of getting your miles in every month.  I should be able to share it with everyone next week.  So excited!

  10. 2.5 Wimpy Miles

    Wimped thru 2.5 miles on the bike after my excruciating 1 hr with the personal trainer.  Sorry - I don’t have any more in me!

    Previous Miles: 31.5
    Today’s Miles: 2.5
    Total Miles: 34

    I am on vacation from work starting next Wednesday until the end of the month and I expect to make the most of those days off and really wrap up these miles.
