Obstacle 30 day challenge

I'm not making excuses, but I am just saying...it is difficult to do the 30 Day Ab Challenge when every time you get on the ground to do the exercises, your dog climbs up on your tummy. And she does. Everytime.

How am I doing on the challenge. Good but definitely not perfect.


The idea is that everyday you start small and progressively add to your workout. Day one is 15 situps, 5 crunches, 5 leglifts and 10 seconds of plank. So, my idea was that I would do Day 1 workout for week one.  Day 2 workout for week two....etc. If I keep going, it will take me 24 weeks, but at the end, I would be doing:

125 situps
200 crunches
65 leg raises
120 second plank.... EVERY DAY! Wouldn't that be amazing?

Well, after doing it only one day, I got very sick and stopped last week. Normally, I would just wait until next month and start again, but this month I just picked up where I left off. I love it! Who cares if there are some blank days? I am still in week 1 but my tummy is feeling it. I just need to remember I don't need to be perfect, just keep practicing.

Sunday Weigh In

I knew it was going to be a bad week so I am not letting this get me down, I am just figuring out what I can do today to be better.

I was so sick earlier in the week and then I entertained the rest of the week. Big meals. Alcohol.

Todays weight is 235.6.  I am up 3.4 pounds.

I shopped today for healthy food and prepped my fridge full of good food.
I am calling a nutritionist today.
I am calling for a coach today.
I want to get better.

I'm registered for my first 5k of the year!

I originally made a goal of 5 5ks for 2015 to get me back running. And then, I came up with the idea of doing 5 5ks in 5 countries. While it is a bit wanky, I thought, "this will really make it fun." It makes it expensive, but fun. :)

I just signed up for the Venus Run.  An all women's run in Singapore in celebration of International Women's Day! Now, I've got one month to up my training.

Motivation Monday

I am so into this one!  I am so close to my boy pushup! And it is just doing 5-10 everyday.  Seven months later I am so close! So, what is the next goal?

Sunday Weigh In

I weighed in before and after exercise this morning. I'll take the AFTER number. :)

I exercised.
I wee-ed.
I blew my nose - anything I could do to weigh less on the scale.

I weighed in at 232.2 so I lost 1.6pounds this week.
I get flowers!  YEA!!!

I want February to be AWESOME!
I can do it!
