It's turning colder and I am worried that my daily activity will get less and less so I'm setting myself a different challenge, an easier challenge but one that will keep me active up to Santa time.
30 minutes activity 5 times a week. As usual it's not about doing official exercise , it's about being active. Christmas shopping and party night dancing counts.

Anyone want to join me ?

From Monday 20th October to the Sunday before Christmas.

5 days a week because it's the winter and it's harder to do every day.

Good idea. :) I'll be doing it. I'll start today, as I've got yoga class in half an hour.

Why not. A lot of mine will be putting house straight after focusing on outside maintenance all summer. Just cleared a bag of rubbish out of wardrobe including some fat bird!'s clothes. She won't be needing them any time soon thanks to the earlier exercise threads x

Yeah cold ethyl my fat bird clothes are going to the charity shop. Glad you re joining too.

Aqualung I needed a new challenge too . I found myself making excuses sometimes . At least 30 minutes 5 times a week means that twice a week I can sit down if I finish work late. :)

Kat100 I tend to be a couch potato from October to February and all my good work over the other months go away. Soooo here we go .run up to Santa.

Great idea Jamrox :)
Keep up with the Santa shopping , hunt down
all the good deals and bits for all our loved ones .
Pounding the shops and malls will help keep the BG levels lowered .
Too busy to get bored nibble away at something and raise them .

Vist the garden centre's too for ideas to decorate the home over the
festive period .
Is something else I love to do .

I am intending to keep up attending my weekly exercise class through the winter .
There is the great company of the ladies/gents in the class for myself in the dark evenings .
We also have a quiz and brew catch up with each other after the exercise class .

Look out for the coming santa fayres too .
Another santa fun way to shop and enjoy .
My local supermarkets have posters on these .

Keeping busy is very much key - for myself .
Less time or chance to sit about doing little or less .

Don't do the partying as cant do the booze or late nights .
Suffer too much the day after - its always a 'never again' experience !
