The annual targets are amazing - look at that elephant and the blissed-out happy face! Thanks again @cathybird - it makes me shake my head, how your creatures make such a difference to so many people.
I am disappointed to report that I did not reach target this month, finishing on 10/11. But I am getting more motivated for February and beyond. Totally agree with @happydenial about lessons, for example that there's little point in having a drink at home in front of the TV. What's the point and why do I do it sometimes without thinking?? Interesting to start noticing the unconscious habits.
It's inspiring to read how many people have smashed their targets this month. Well done, everyone!7 -

Off the February starting blocks at a sprint with 1/26 for me please (it's the only sprinting I can do now).
Lent starts on 22nd February, when many people declare they will "give up alcohol for Lent". I'm glad that Lent ends on 8th April, which is DH's birthday: Lent ends at 12 noon on Easter Saturday. I don't want to lead you astray, but Sundays aren't days of Lenten fasting and abstinence :-)What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?5 -
I'm off the starting blocks too 😊.
1/25 please cathybird. Thank you. X
Thank you for the reminder about Lent satchmo1. My birthday is early March so it always falls during Lent, whether Easter is early or late. For that reason I may not manage a completely abstinent Lent but I will do my best. X4 -
