LINKY for INITIAL EVE 2 EASTER UPDATE: Closes midnight New Year's Eve. Don't miss the deadline. Include all needed info in your update. OFF WE GO!

"A goal is a dream with a deadline" ~~Napoleon Hill

LINKY FOR INITIAL GOALS and STARTING WEIGHT/MEASURE POST with BEFORE PIC for the Eve to Easter 2012 Challenge.

Add your url before the end of day on December 31, Eastern Time.

Reread the rules if you must to be sure you include all required info in the initial post.

 

Your initial post must contain the following:

 

1. Pic of your item of clothing or you in it (fitting not quite or partially).

2.Your starting weight and starting waist measure. Include measures for any other body part you wish to track with us.

3. Your goals--measurable ones like a caloric range, type and number of exercise sessions per week/hours per day/etc, how many glasses/ounces of fluid, or other trackable BEHAVIORS and changes--and add a comment or two about where you'd like to be at challenge end. Measurable.

4. The title(s) of the book(s) you will read and comment upon during the challenge.

5. Add your guiding quote in your initial post. Try to list it in every subsequent challenge post (both the weekly update and your midweek check-in update). It may inspire someone else.

 

6.The name/blog of your buddy and how you will plan to be in contact with them. You must follow up with them after your linky is entered and you know with whom you are paired. Make sure you communicate and set up a system to update for each other when one is out of town, inaccessible to internet, etc.

7. A commitment to comment on at least 3 challenger blogs per week for support. They can be the same 3, or different 3 each week. Up to you.

8. A vow to NOT QUIT the challenge, thereby abandonig your "buddy" and disappointing the crew. Be accountable to all of us, not just yourself.

 When in doubt about the rules/elements of the challenge, check the eve2easter blog,  where they will be displayed in a list on the sidebar left.

Here we go. I wish us all well. A new year, a new start, everything fresh. Let's be optimistic and make progress toward our goals. Here comes 2012!!!!




















(Cannot add links: Registration/trial expired)
Note: GO BY THIS PAIRiNG, cause some folks kinda messed up the links and I'm trying to sort it out. Have patience. If I've paired you below, go by that pairing. Sorry for the bit of mayhem. PEOPLE, please put the right info in the first time!!!! . Ahem.
You may not know who your buddy is until the challenge entries are all in (ie, by Sunday). You can edit your initial post with the buddy info. If that is problematic, just add it to your midweek update. Later... Buddies so far:~~~ 1/2: Casey and Julie ~~ 3/4: Bluezy and lv2~~ 5/6: Eaba and Nanette~~ 7/8: Debby and UpInTheCosmos~~ 9/10:  Jenny and Betty~~11/12: Jordan and Mir~~ 13/14: Karen and Bethany~~ 15/16: Megan and Jillian~~~ the last two linkies, I'm waiting on, but should pari up...17/18: Angela and Jo

Bluezy said...

oh oh...I failed to read your note. I figured that it was 1&2 Then 3&4 and assumed lv2 was my buddy..I got all wordy with her on her blog. But all of you are my buddies. Ok? However it rolls!
LOL

Ok, not having much computer luck today so I hope my linky works! I'll check back later to make sure:-)

Casey, I'm pretty sure the InLinkz allows you to edit your entries. Please click on your initial entry and add the link you want/URL. Then delete your second one. I can't do it for you (well, maybe I can, would have to check). Don't worry about the buddy system. I'll ignore the second of Casey's entries...and it will continue as is. We'll work it out, no worries.

Okay, after I hit send, I see that Casey deleted the first one. I'm gonna leave her paired with Julie( as I already sent Julie the email). So, just continue. The numbers are correct for all who follow. The buddies are listed as I've shown in the post--Julie with Casey, etc. :D No anxieties...it gets sorted out in the end. It's all fine again.

Ok, I've fixed my link... I think people were being brought to the wrong one blog post but my link should now bring ya to the official one:-)

I can't figure out what happened but Bethany and I want to be buddies. I hope this works out. I'll be really disappointed if it doesn't.

Angela Pea said...

LOL! I'm here! I'm here! I went mountain biking today with The Architect and Cherry Ames...I laid down and took a nap after dinner. I just came flying out of bed remembering that I have to link up before midnight!! Whew! I made it!

Jo said...

No excuses. I just missed the linky post...didn't show up in my reader and I kept waiting and waiting. Thanks, Mir, for taking care of me. At least I had already posted the initial post. Whew!

Okay, I think I can follow the rest of the rules now. ;-)

Good luck to everyone. This is going to be fun!
