I signed up for a thing, too. Thanks Sam. This is just the thing I needed. Because it will not only help me to exercise EVERY DAY but also to blog about it EVERY DAY. Heh. Let’s see how that goes, eh? 🙂
This is not a scary thing… not really!
this is not the thing I have signed up for…
Not like the last thing, (my 100km craziness) or the thing before that (half what??) but a new thing that should help / encourage / force me to train for the other two things!!
Ok…I suspect you are going to need more information than that!
I signed up for a thing called Janathon. You have all probably heard of this thing, but I hadn’t until yesterday.
It is basiclly a challenge to run/jog/swim/jump up and down/do trampolining or any other assorted form of exercise every day in January.
ok so far…
you also have to blog about it every day…probably to prove you have done something…
this is the thing!! click on it for more info!
so you lovely people you are going to be regaled with…

You go, girl!
I’m less worried about the daily exercise and more so about the daily blogging. 🙂
woohoo! Looks like a lot of fun!!
Join us, Jo!
I was seriously tempted … I even went to the sign-up page.
I recently joined a new gym that opened nearby to get more variety into my workouts. What’s holding me back is blogging about it every day. It’s just not the thing I want to blog about. I can’t imagine I can make it interesting everyday … and photos of me doing yoga or zumba are too scary to contemplate 🙂
Bahahaha…I agree completely (not that YOURS are scary, but that in general they are). I’m not a fan of daily workout posts either (never did that during my 365 challenge in 2013, but… the need to write about what I did to get sweaty every day may be the motivating factor in making me actually get sweaty every day. If nothing else, it will test whether I can keep this blog thing going in this new world of work I find myself in. (Unlikely). 🙂
Yeay!! You joined my thing!! (Well nu my thing…i didn’t invent it!!) i am so pleased!!
I agree the blogging every day will be the hard bit!!
The blogging every day is the thing that may kill me.
Yes!! Even in the 365 i combined some days!!
What I’m struggling with is the fact that I know I don’t have time to READ other blogs every day now, and I always said I didn’t want to be one of those bloggers who writes (expecting others to read) without reciprocating on the reading side. I may actually try to disable comments on my daily posts for Janathon so that people know I’m not fishing for comments. Need to think this one through…
I think people probably know you well enough to know you are not just fishing for complements!
I might have to resort to screnshots of strava or photos and a few words with one at the start of january explaining…i am not sure yet either!
Awesome ideas!
😀
Woooot! Good plan. Maybe I should do this too!
Oh except I will be IVFing and jabbing myself with needles. Still I can walk every day and I’m still going to do weights. Just no running or vigorous cardio. And I’ll skip the blogging because it is pretty boring to read that I went for a walk lol
Ha! I know, right?? The only reason I’m contemplating the blogging bit is so it’ll keep me honest!
Yeah but you write good exercise blogs and do better than walk every day. I’ll see. Maybe I’ll blog about it as part of my IVF thing as well!
Do it!
What a cool idea! I might have to do a similar thing to get started again after all these colds are ovwr and done with! But to blog/… about it everyday I couldn’t do so I’ll do my own thing 🙂
I know, Vilma. Blogging about daily exercise is not really my thing either. I might have to cheat and do weekly updates.
Good for you, Nancy, and good luck! I did sign up for the 20 mins of yoga every day for December and that has been fairly easy, but I didn’t have to blog about it. I don’t think I could do that part. I have been keeping myself in line posting on FB, and that is hard enough! Now added the plank challenge, and so far, so good!
I decided to do some planking last night during commercials on TV. Forgot how tough those bad boys are! 🙂
Amen sister, but doing them everyday has got to make an impact, right???? 😉
It TOTALLY does! I was just commenting with Sam the other day that one of the best benefits of developing a stronger core for me has been that I no longer have lower back pain, something that plagued me for years.
Awesome!
Sounds like a great idea – well done! 🙂
This sounds wonderfully fun, Nancy. A Janathon. A double challenge. But if anyone can make that become a reality and spin some worthy words into the experience it’s got to be you.
I look forward to reading all about the next months adventures.
Happy Holidays!
I am hopeful that I will suddenly find enough hours in the day to work, workout, read blogs and write blog posts. It’ll take a Christmas miracle, but hey, miracles happen right?… 🙂
Powerhouse Nancy!! 🙂 I should sign up for a thing
You should TOTALLY sign up for a thing! Do it!
Welcome to the Janathing and good luck!
I’m excited about the daily sweats, less so about the daily blog posts. 🙂 I may resort to tweets or FB page updates some (most?) days. 🙂
