[[old] tigger2esq]

only one day left!!! did everyone hit their goal? I surpassed mine by a landslide! I was hoping to hit 100k-125k and as of today I have officially topped 160k! woohoo! one more row tomorrow to finish it off and I am feeling mighty good.<br /><br />Renee<br />

Good For YOU! How do you feel?<br /><br />I am about 35 K short of my goal. (I will probably make my goal on Feb. 3--I was that way in school too--I understood the stuff the week AFTER the exam.)<br /><br />I am going to keep going in February. Glad to hear the weight loss challenge will continue. Perhaps we should call it the "health" challenge. <br /><br />The more we row the healthier we are!<br /><br />Susan

I am feeling pretty good. at the beginning of the month I had a depressing step on the scale at the dr. office that really set me back. but then I realized that while the scale said I hadnt lost anything suring the holiday challenge I FELT better and I had certainly lost inches. the challenge helped me stick with it and now not only am I seeing a loss of inches but also a change in the scale numbers and I am feeling awesome. <br /><br />I am going to keep going into February as I am closing in on 300k lifetime meters and want to hit a million by the end of the summer!<br /><br />

Once you hit that "Wow, I feel good" phase, and you start seeing the results, it's a lot easier to keep up the momentum you've started. That's the one of the biggest hurdles, imho. <br /><br />I've liked that effect so much, that it's kept me going for over a year now. And when I feel like being a weenie and not wanting to row--the thought of losing any of the ground that I've worked so hard for--well, that gets me back on that rower. Even if it's only for ten minutes!<br /><br />If you ever feel like being a weenie, just get on the forum here, and we'll all get ya going again! <br /><br />And, NICE JOB exceeding that JVTC goal of yours, too! Here's a wing slap on the back for ya!<br /><br />--Jen in WI

ok strange thing. I decided to just row an easy 30 minutes tonight so I ended with an odd number of meters. I just logged my meters and for the January challenge--my final meters for the month are 166,666 how strange is THAT??!!!!!!

With my ADD and tendency towards major procrastination, I'm usually in the same boat. That, or I do a big crunch at the end, right up to the deadline...like I did with the JVTC. I think I did most of my meters in the last 4 days, and now my lil' ol' wings are tired!<br /><br />I'm almost glad there's not a big challenge in February, though. I think a little break from the "stress" is in order. This way, I can row for the simple enjoyment of rowing, and I won't have to feel guilty using another piece of exercise equipment. I tend to obsess and want to put all my effort into the rower when there's a challenge going on. <br /><br />So February is going to be a "balance and moderation" month (with all that chocolate around--yeah, right!) where my exercise is concerned. At least until the Valentine's Day Challenge.... <br /><br />You did all right with the JVTC, Susan, nice job!!<br /><br />--Jen
