Recenter December Step Challenge and Scavenger Hunt

[Baltoscott]

Recenter December!

2022 is just around the corner, but before you get there take a breath, reflect, connect with your friends and family and take stock of all the things that went right this year. Have a drink or two, and a treat or two, and, of course, a walk/hike/run or two, or three, or more. 

General monthly instructions are below, including the monthly picture scavenger hunt.   

How It Works

The primary purpose of these monthly challenges is to keep track of your daily step goals for the month; though many of us track other things as well, like body weight exercises, sleep, trips to the gym, logging food, etc. This is not a competition to see who can do the most of whatever, instead it is a challenge to measure your consistency. So whether you do 1k, 5k, 10k or more steps a day, this is measuring how many days out of the monthly total you can hit your goal.

Some might have a constant goal of 10k steps every single day and others might have a variable goal throughout the week, (and some might even plan days off!) for example.
Monday -> Friday = 10k steps a day
Sat & Sun = “6k steps a day,” or “not tracking”

Regardless of how you structure your daily goals, the only thing that matters for the monthly challenge is whether or not you reach what you set out to do.

Suggested Posting Format    
1) Post either your constant or variable step goal.
2) Keep track of the # of daily goals achieved out of the monthly minimum and or monthly total

Picture Scavenger Hunt

This month look for a holiday theme/meme while you are out and about and post at least three versions of the same scene/idea. Example: three different Santas, three different grinches, three different nativities.

Posting

Although you certainly don’t have to post daily, you’ll likely stay closer to what you set out to do by updating the thread several times/week

Injury Notice
If you injure yourself during the month and need to scale back due to the injury, then all you have to do is adjust your goal for that period. If you normally do 10k steps a day but pull a hamstring and decide to do minimal walking (2k steps a day), then all you have to do is change your goal.

Recenter December and I have a lot of catching up to do!  Got my vaccine booster on Monday evening and am feeling achy and have the chills. Hoping it doesn't last long.

We love decorating for Christmas - here is a small sample of our Santa collection.  Most of them were given to us as gifts by family and friends.
