Advent Calendar Game
______________________

​
So Janez's diary gave me an idea for a game. It's called Advent Calendar Game. Without the chocolate. ;)

How it works:

Each day (December 1-25) I will post something for everyone to do. i.e. Post 3 things inspirational to you, do a good deed today and say what it was, etc. It will be simple, nothing too demanding. Anyone and everyone can play. You can also make comments, etc. There is no sign up requirement, just come by.

I'm posting this in the Challenge section, because these are sort of mini-challenges, although its more of a game. I hope I'm posting in the right section, I think it would get more of a response here. But mods, please move it if it's in the wrong place. :eek:

I will post new challenges at midnight Eastern Standard Time. And as soon as the new one opens the previous day closes, meaning that you can't follow that day any longer, although you can still comment on it. This is simply to make things nice and neat.

I want to make it as fun as possible, I'll try to be really creative. Let's see how this goes, I hope it isn't too lame. :eek:

Day 1 Starts at Midnight EST December 1st.
 
OoooOOOoooo...a game! I love games! :)
 
DAY ONE of Advent Calendar

DAY 1 of Advent Calendar
GETTING TO KNOW YOU
​

Just something simple to get things going. Simply answer the following questions so we can get to know everyone a little more!!


1. Tomorrow, you step on the scale and you see that you're at your goal weight. You can't believe it! You look in the mirror and you can see MAJOR difference. You're happy beyond belief, although a bit confused, but you accept it as a miracle. What is the first thing you're looking forward to doing now?

If you're already at your goal weight, then imagine something else you want changed, what are you looking forward to most now?

2. What is the best gift you've ever recieved?

3. What is the best gift that you have ever given?

4. What are you hoping to unwrap or get this Christmas? If you don't celebrate the holiday, name any gift you're hoping to receive for another occasion.

5. What keeps you going? What makes you want to get out of bed in the morning?

1. Tomorrow, you step on the scale and you see that you're at your goal weight. You can't believe it! You look in the mirror and you can see MAJOR difference. You're happy beyond belief, although a bit confused, but you accept it as a miracle. What is the first thing you're looking forward to doing now? A HUGE shopping spree. HUGE. And then going to Cancun to wander around in a bikini and hit the clubs in skimpy tops and skinny jeans.

2. What is the best gift you've ever recieved? I have received a number of wonderful gifts, but nothing really stands out in my mind.

3. What is the best gift that you have ever given? I got hubby an XBox360 this year. He seems pretty darn happy.

4. What are you hoping to unwrap or get this Christmas? If you don't celebrate the holiday, name any gift you're hoping to receive for another occasion. I'm hoping that my husband suprises me with and IPod. I doubt it *laugh* but there is always hope.

5. What keeps you going? What makes you want to get out of bed in the morning? It's kinda sad, but the only reason I get out of bed is 'cause I have to. I really need to get a new job.

I will put on the tiny jeans that haven't fit me for about five years... yep they are still sitting in my closet! They are a goal! I remember how great I looked in them, and how great I felt in them!

2. What is the best gift you've ever recieved?
love, respect, honesty, friendship, wonderful family... I am truly blessed...:D

3. What is the best gift that you have ever given?
If we talk about material things... those things don't even come to mind, those aren't things that I can keep in my mind, or in my heart....but in regards to other types of things... see the list above.

4. What are you hoping to unwrap or get this Christmas?
My bf and I are not exchanging gifts, our trip to Cuba is our gift to each other. My parents bought me luggage for the trip... Guess the only thing that I could secretly :rolleyes: wish for is an engagement ring.

5. What keeps you going? My boyfriend is a tremendous support to me in all aspects of my life. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful man in my life, I count my blessings every day!
What makes you want to get out of bed in the morning?I really do love my job. I work as a school counsellor at a very neat rural high school. The kids are a real challenge but there are some real gems in all of that craziness, and I feel like I have a purpose there. Don't get me wrong I love my weekends and my holidays but it does help me get up in the morning to love my job!
 
I love this game - excellent idea :D

I have not reached my goal wieght yet!!! When I do, (wich I dream about every night :p ) I look forward in feeling confident in my own body and wearing my new clothes.

2. What is the best gift you've ever recieved?
My mom and my aunt gave me a Grandma's ring. My grandma wore it every day before she died in 2003. My grandma offered the ring to me once and I turned it down. After she passed I regreted not having something of her's. My aunt took all my grandma's jewelery and I tryed to get it but they could not find it. Then by X-mas my aunt found it and gave it to my mom, and she gave it to me.

I can't think of the best gift I have given someone materialistic. But I do give my heart, my honesty and kindness to others everyday, even if some people are
Bitter.:p

You're happy beyond belief, although a bit confused, but you accept it as a miracle. What is the first thing you're looking forward to doing now? Sexy undies from Victoria Secret!!! :D:D:D:D

2. What is the best gift you've ever recieved? Hmm.. I would definitely have to say my dad's old Olympus 35mm camera. He gave it to me as a heart felt gesture and I appreciate the gesture more than the camera which is worth quite a bit.

3. What is the best gift that you have ever given? My mom, my sister and I all pooled our money together to get my dad a limited edition, signed lithograph from one of his favorite artists. He cried.. no he sobbed when he opened it.

4. What are you hoping to unwrap or get this Christmas? If you don't celebrate the holiday, name any gift you're hoping to receive for another occasion. I'm not really into the materialism of the holiday so I guess what I'm looking forward to most is spending the time with my family. Everyone is so happy at christmas & I want to remember those moments always... ok and cute clothes. :D

5. What keeps you going? What makes you want to get out of bed in the morning? Hope. Hope that theres a bigger purpose to everything, hope that happiness isn't a pipe dream... without hope, what's the point? ;)
 
Day 2 of Advent Calander


I challenge you to do a new exercise today.
​

30 Jumping Jacks.
10 Push ups.
Etc...

Or exercise at least 15 minutes longer than you normally would.
Anything different.

Post the exercise you did. Have fun. :)
 
Sorry I'm late getting started!!!

1. Tomorrow, you step on the scale and you see that you're at your goal weight. You can't believe it! First thing you do: Buy a whole new wardrobe... and then keep working to maintain so I don't grow out of it!!!

2. What is the best gift you've ever recieved? my families are not real big gift givers... we tend to give small silly gifts and then parents and grandparents give money... but my grandma, even though she doesn't have much money, always puts the most love behind her gifts... I usually go shopping with her for everyone else, so we get to pick out my gift while we go - and the time spent together means alot. She also just sent me a thank you card for being around when my grandpa died... and that was probably the best card I have ever received in my life

3. What is the best gift that you have ever given? for our nine month anniversary - puppy love! - i made my honey a book of pictures of us and poems that I had written. It took me so long to do it, and it was completely homemade and from the heart - he loved it!

4. What are you hoping to unwrap or get this Christmas? i really can't think of anything I really want... we have had some family tensions recently, so I guess i hope that those will be resolved

5. What keeps you going? What makes you want to get out of bed in the morning? well... i have my honey in bed each morning - so it really makes it hard to get out =) But I think what really gets and keeps me motivated is knowing and accepting that I do have a lot to offer this world, and I need to get out there and do something about it!

Day 2 = running for 15 extra minutes! Today I did a total of 45 minutes, and 3.21 miles!
