oystergirl Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 I was just thinking about the idea of Springing Forward not just in terms of daylight savings times but in the actual act of physically springing forward into action and I thought it would be a fun idea, in addition to all these wonderful challenges that I simply adore, to make a pledge to get into as great a shape as I can before the FALL BACK change in October.That is of course a pretty long time, and the regular challenges help to keep us focused, but it is 7 or so months and that is plenty of time to Level up my life and get into amazing shape.So, I am taking the pledge and I hope others will join me in this EPIC QUEST to GET into the best shape of our lives and really level up our lifestyles, health and outlook, by the time we Fall Back...Who's with me?????? .....(in my best rah rah voice!)

leighanne1941 Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 I'm with you!! I've declared 2012 the year of me, after 6 years of focusing pretty much solely on my kids. Getting healthy, getting strong and building my business. Quote Challenge 1 Challenge 2 Current ChallengeRandom Treat Free Streak: 10 Days (start 05/28) Link to comment

LRB Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 With you all!And weird -- I, too, have declared that this is the year I put myself first, instead of putting my obligations to everyone else ahead of my obligations to myself. That was, in fact, my new year's plan (not resolution).(and it's awfully hard to write that I will put myself first, without qualifying it with a 'without being horribly selfish' clause, but I really want to get to a point where my self-care doesn't need explanation or defense).

morethanjustamom Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 2013 Is going to be the Year of Me, but I'm transitioning into it now. My youngest starts school in August, so I plan to start triathlon training then. I'm dropping commitments for next year as fast as I can (PTO, room mom, team mom) so I can focus on what I plan to do with myself...go back to school, write a book, just sleep a lot, and have a decision made by 2013.I don't know what it will be yet, but I do know it will be life changing and exciting.

Lachy Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 We don't have daylight savings here. Something about the cows not know what time it is, or the sun damaging the drapes...Love the idea of it though, good luck to you all! Quote Battle Log - Facebook Link to comment
