18/18, I've met my goal. I actually did much more than the needed hour today as I put an hour in on the trainer after lunch, and 90 minutes in spinning class this evening. As I've met my goal I see no need to include it however.
I like this challenge, it was helpful!

We set a record high yesterday, 52. However, the wind was absolutely awful and gusting to 40 so, ... I hopped on the trainer and did a Coach Troy Aero Base Builder for an hour and 15. Wacky "winter" we are having so far.

Veronica
Thank you so much to Veronica for starting up this creative challenge and for setting up the spreadsheet for us to use for tracking.
The spirit of compettition and the public admission of a goal has really helped to keep me on track and I suspect quite a few others too. I set a goal that I felt I could achieve and it looks like I will make it. It has been more challenging than I had expected it to be, December can be such a busy month that it could be easy to shrug off time spent training/exercising, however this committment turned out to be fun and inspiring and helped to keep my on track on those days I might otherwise opt out. Outdoor summer riding is fun and serves as it's own motivation. Indoor riding is not. I am grateful for the motivation this challenge has provided.
Despite the parties, the cookies and goodies and the overindulging, this challenge has helped me to maintain fitness and weight.
Again, thank you Veronica and to all the TE participants for their motivation!

I came down with something awful. My throat is so swollen I can hardly breathe and I've lost my voice completely. Haven't been able to talk for 3 days. I told DH he got what he wanted for christmas--I can't nag him!
I stayed in bed most of Christmas and the next day. Don't think I'll be making much more progress on the challenge though.

Thank you Veronica! The December bike challenge is the only thing motivating me to do something other than lie in bed and surf the web. I hate the winter and tend to overeat and sit around leading to a 10 pound weight gain. When Spring rolls around, i have to work my butt off to lose it. Unfortunately, i have gained my winter 10 already, but i'd love to lose it before Spring, otherwise i will spiral out of control!
If you decide to do a January challenge, I'm definitely in. Thanks again!
