Ok, I wouldn't go as far as calling myself a legend, but this whole #squatschallenge I been doing this month, wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. But I managed to complete it!!!
A month ago I did my first charity fund raising event by doing 100 squats a day to raise funds for a charity called Stand up to Cancer in UK. I posted my progress on most days from my alt @lut-studio. Things started off very well. I mean it was tough, as I don't normally do much exercise so I knew I had an uphill battle. But I was able to do at at least 100 squats a day even though it was very very tiring and painful.
A few days in, @dbooster joined in the challenge. I was so pleased that I had a challenge buddy to support and motivate me. Then @pardinus and @xrayman joined in as well. Now we have a team of four doing the #squatschallenge on Hive. The guys probably have no idea what this means to me.
There were days, particularly the latter part of the challenge when I felt so awful and didn't feel like doing any squats. I ended up skipping two days. During the last week, I caught the flu and had a bad cough, and that made things worse. Squats does not go well with a bad cough due to the abdominal pain from excessive coughing. It was worse than my legs burning during the first few days.
The guys were very supportive, encouraging me all the time, whilst doing their own challenge. Their encouragement made so much difference, especially when I saw they were flying with their daily squats. That motivated me to keep going. Thanks so much guys!!!
I finished the challenge with 3150 squats, 150 over the target, and £100 donations, bang on target! You can see the list of donations in this link here, you may see some Hivers 😊

DECEMBER HPUD GUESSING CONTEST
We can feel the Christmas vibe as soon as we step into December, and it's great that we have a whole month to enjoy this. For my December HPUD Guessing Contest, I've pulled out my Christmas decorations and they will be the star of my December HPUD Guessing Contest. It's going to be a very easy guessing contest, it's Christmas after all!!!
And because it's Christmas, I will give you a tip. The height is between 10cm and 18cm. Since the range is rather narrow, you may want to give your answer up to one decimal place eg 1x.xcm or 1xxmm.
The prize pool is 20 HBD and will go to the person who guessed the correct height. If no one guessed the exact height, the person who guessed the nearest will win. And if there is more than one winner, you will share the prize pool. Finally, if you HPUD at least 10 HP today, I will double your prize as a bonus. As usual, I will upvote your entry and the % will be based on your level of engagement as the whole reason I started this HPUD Guessing Contest was to drive up quality engagement on Hive. Good luck everyone!!
