Anybody up for this challenge? It would be great if any of you out there would like to join me on this! I’m thinking about starting this on Monday. Any takers?

I’ll accept your challenge XC. 100 days, that takes us to December 5th. Sounds like quite an adventure! And I’ll bet it will be a great learning experience too.

I’m so excited that you guys are up for the challenge! It’ll be fun to share this experience with all of you!

So, here’s way I did this last time with the “50 days of exercise”.

- each day starting from the first day was counted as a day. So, basically the 50 days were consecutive. This was
to avoid putting off doing workouts. (It would have taken me a year to do those 50 days if they weren’t
consecutive!)
- each consecutive day’s post was titled with the day that I was on. I highly recommend that you guys do this too,
because as time goes on, it feels so good to see that you’ve already completed this many days. It’s very
motivating and exciting!
- I made a plan before the 50 days started with a few different options of workouts that I could do that I each day. 
I was flexible in my choice, so that I couldn’t use the excuse “ I don’t want to do that today” or the excuse that
“My muscles hurt from doing that”.
- In the plan I built in rest days. Rest days are really important and the 50 days would not have been possible
without them. My goal was to take two rest days a week. A few weeks I took three. I wouldn’t allow myself more
than that unless I was really sick (which didn’t happen). The days that I took rest days were flexible too.
Sometimes working out on a certain day just does not work! On rest days I sometimes wrote my thoughts of how
things were going…
- Doing the 50 days wasn’t about seeing if I could do it. It was about Doing it. Even if I couldn’t do a full workout, it
was important just to do it. Attitude is everything..

I’m not sure how each of you will approach this challenge. I’m sure you’ll all figure out the “rules” that you want to follow for this- figure out how to be sucessful in reaching the 100 day goal! I’m excited guys!

100 days of exercise this time of year is a GREAT idea! Not only will folks feel better and get fit - they’ll go into to holiday’s ready to take on all those extra calories.

Let’s make it official.  I’ll jump in with you and promote it here, the website and the podcast so we can have a central point for folks to focus on.  Ahhh… that is IF I have your permission?

I say start the day after Labor Day and Rock on!

Are we all going to post in this thread, or each in our own thread created for the purpose?

Hey Deb-

We’re going to setup a special thread just for the “100 Days” so that we can keep this together.  I’ll also set up a spot on the website so folks can find it easily.  A little brainstorming over the next couple of days and I’ll put the pieces together. 

XC already sent me a note wanting to really make this special - I’m hoping she’ll moderate and keep the push on for us.

It’s important to know that at the end of the day it’s not the medals you remember.  What you remember is the process-- what you learn about yourself by challenging yourself, the experiences you share with other people, the honesty the training demands—those are things nobody can take away from you whether you finish last or you’re an Olympic Champion.

Thanks for the invite XC!  100 days of exercise is a fabulous idea!  I’m getting started tomorrow; I promise.  You know that if I was running with you tomorrow you would end up doing 2 miles.  smile What’s five more minutes, right?

Thanks XC, for my invitation.  I have been semi-active this week, had 2 workouts, does that mean I started on Monday too???  I guess I’m confused, anyhew- going for long walk today, and will start my journal afterwards.  thanks Babe.
