My Challenge is to...

Go for a 7am ocean dip each morning (I HATE the cold!) AND I'm going to do 100 squats each days (I REALLY dislike squats)

for Nedd’s Uncomfortable Challenge

My challenge is uncomfortable for me because ...

I am very much not a morning person and I very much hate the cold. Committing to do an ocean dip for 10 days straight will very much test my commitment (my preferred pastime is just lying on a beach with a book!).

Add to this, for those who know me (too) well, exercise is always a challenge for me. Squats and lunges are the worst, and my delicate old knees won't allow lunges, so the dreaded squats it is.

Although I am making light, these are challenges for me for now.  Doing both will push me out of my comfort zone and prove to myself that I can do so much more in the coming years. While I might be starting with relatively simple challenges compared to the inspiring Nedd,  I'm stepping up to this challenge now to help raise awareness and support for the wonderful work of We Are Mobilise. Their model is a great example of working collaboratively across an entire sector to help people in Australia who are experiencing homelessness.
