This month I took my kayak out on the water twice - once on my own and once in a social setting with other kayakers, accomplishing my goal of starting some regular "fun exercise", rather than just "because I have to" exercise, as well as working towards my goal of getting out of the house, instead of sitting at home on weekends. It also proved that my precommittment of buying the kayak, works as a motivator for me.
I bought a rowing machine about 2 months ago and have rowed several times a week. I usually watch videos or listen to audio books at the same time. The financial precommitment thing works for me and has also worked when buying strength training equipment 4 months ago.
I wonder if I should buy a kayak or something similar the next summer, or perhaps join some club that rows bigger boats. Being able to show off while rowing for real should also boost my motivation to train with the machine :)
Your job, should you choose to accept it, is to comment on this thread explaining the most awesome thing you've done this month. You may be as blatantly proud of yourself as you feel. You may unabashedly consider yourself the coolest freaking person ever because of that awesome thing you're dying to tell everyone about. This is the place to do just that.
Remember, however, that this isn't any kind of progress thread. Nor is it any kind of proposal thread. This thread is solely for people to talk about the awesome things they have done. Not "will do". Not "are working on". Have already done. This is to cultivate an environment of object level productivity rather than meta-productivity methods.
So, what's the coolest thing you've done this month?
