  • This check-in is for November 17th – 23rd.
  • I’ve been sick most of this week 🙁  I started to feel a little better yesterday, and I’m sure most of that was all the great food and company, but I was still in no shape to do any trotting, let alone a Turkey Trot.

#COYER Winter Switch!

Published on by Rachelle

It’s time to get ready for another round of #COYER!  The challenge begins December 16th and ends March 9th.  I’ll be participating in the “Switch”, which is outlined below, but click on the link to get all of the details.

COYER Switch

There are 3 components: “The Strict”, “The List”, and “The One with the Twist”.  Each component will be done once, in any order, at one of the 3 phases:

  • December 16 – January 12
  • January 13 – February 9
  • February 10 – March 9

The Strict

  1. Every book you read must be an eBook or audiobook.
  2. Every book must be either free or less than $5.
  3. No library books, borrowed books, or Kindle Unlimited.

The List

  1. Make a list of up to 30 books you want to read.
  2. Every book on the list must be in your possession BEFORE you put them on the list.
  3. You can add 5 new books for every 5 books you read.
  4. Books on the list can be any format, any price, obtained any LEGAL way.

The One with the Twist

  1. You can read ANY book. ANY price. Obtained any LEGAL way.
  2. “The Twist” is that you have to stick with one format; audiobook, ebook, or physical.

I’m going to do “The List” first, from December 16th to January 12th, then “The One with the Twist” second, from January 13th to February 9th, and then I’ll wrap up this round of COYER with “The Strict” from February 10th to March 9th.  I’ve already put together my List on Goodreads, and I’m going to stick to my physical books for “The One with the Twist”.  I’ve created another list of the free/less than $5 ebooks and audiobooks I have for “The Strict”, but it’s a work in progress.
From now until #COYER starts, I’ll be trying to finish up all of my current reads so I can start fresh with a book from my list.  Are you participating in #COYER Winter Switch?  What do you think of the books on my list?  Are there any I should I read first?

  • This check-in is for November 10th – 16th.
  • To put it plainly, this has been a rough week, motivation-wise, and it shows in my stats.
  • One nice thing is that I’m only a mile shy of finishing stage 9 on the Appalachian Trail.
  • If you have a FitBit, you can find me HERE.

  • This check-in is for November 3rd – 9th.
  • I missed 2 days of walking this week thanks to having to go into the office to work.  However, I was less than 7K steps from meeting my goal, which is pretty good considering I was barley getting 25K steps a week before I set my new goal.
  • I nailed my Active Minutes goal, which means I’ll be raising it for next week.  I’m think 245 minutes is a good step up since that’s only 15 more minutes than I did this week.

  • This check-in is for October 27th – November 2nd.
  • November is going to be all about fitness for me.  I’m doing Damn Early Days again, and my goal is to walk 50,000 steps every week.  That’s a steep, but achievable, goal since I’ve been doing less than half that number of steps for awhile.
  • I finally got to a point on the virtual Appalachian Trail to read another chapter of A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson.  I have also started reading A Philosophy of Walking by Frédéric Gros.

  • This check-in is for October 13th – 19th.
  • I have Synovitis in both of my hands, so I won’t be doing much blogging until it’s under control.  Instead, I’m going walking with the Boyfriend for Damn Early Days.  So far, it’s been nice getting up early and heading out the door.  When we get back, I still have plenty of time to relax with a book, eat breakfast, and drink a huge cup of tea before work 🙂

  • This check-in is for October 6th – 12th.
  • All of the overtime I’ve been working has caused me a lot of pain in my hands and wrists so I haven’t been able to blog, crochet, or do much of anything I enjoy.  I’m definitely not doing any burpies.  I have an Occupational Therapy appointment this morning, so I’m hoping to get my hands back to the point where I can do all the things I love to do.
