Off-Topic Cold Shower Challenge
OP: February 19, 2015, 02:17:57 PM
Hi Folks:

El Ray threw this challenge out onto MyBrainIsBroken thread (seriously we got's to get that lad to change his handle  :-\ , I feel down every time I read it). 

BTW -- I read somewhere that forcing yourself each morning to finish your shower with two minutes of full-on 75% Cold Water forms will power, determination, and self confidence.   Everyday, you face it down, and win.  It also apparently fires your engine for the day.

Any body up for a 30 day challenge? 

I think I'm going to have a go... I love Motivational Stuff...hehehe.

Lordy.... Is there no 30-day challenge involving chocolate or something? 

I'll have a think.

BD June 2011
Affair discovered; three moves out and three attempts at return during 2012, culminating in "I'm not coming back" statement. Then DIY separation agreement - Feb 14 - which I wouldn't sign. He moved in with OW in 10/14 and I heard little more. I instigated D in 2016.  He's still living in rental with OW and her D but the cracks are starting to appear.

It's 15 below zero where I live... What the he//, I'm in. Also, love the idea of only positive talk on this thread! Unless it's something about how damn cold the shower was!

Oh boy! Brrrrr! I suppose it might do me some good to have a cold shower and put my poor, starved "lovin' hormones" to rest. ;) ;)

Gotta be kidding. It's -30C here.

I have no genetic antifreeze, only coolant. Getting miserable just thinking about cold water. Warm thoughts, warm thoughts..... OK i might try it once.  :P

We're having windchill to -30
I think the thought of more being super cold would only motivate me to not shower  ;D
