Bitch/brag: my arms failed at my first push-up! Sad. I didn't go nose to floor for the last three. The rest was fine though.
Eta: it got up to 20C here today!! So I went for a run also
ghostmonkey - want to add the challenge of time? You'll probably crush but it'll be an incentive to make I a bit more intense lol
GTKY:hmmm okay actively it was summitting Mt Marcy in NY. I hit my mental limit and asked to turn around and my teacher asked "that's as far as you can go? Okay take one more step." He showed me that all it takes is one more to break a mental limit. Non-physically it would be finishing school. I graduated 2 years early from university.
Bitch/Brag: OK, plank after pushups was a bad call on my part. Hello shaky arms!
GTKY: What is your greatest accomplishment? My husband and I paid for our wedding ourselves last October. We are now under contract for our dream home, closing on it next month. We both work our assess off, I am really proud of us!
Bitch/Brag: squats are a little more difficult than I'd like, but I blame my trainer and the leg presses he had me doing last week.
GTKY: What is your greatest accomplishment? Between summer 2011 and my wedding in September 2013, I lost 120 pounds. It was had work, but the journey was amazing and really shaped who I am today. Also, H met me at the beginning of that journey. He reminds me all the time, when I'm having an emotionally tough day when it comes to my weight or how I look, that he loved me over 100 pounds ago, and he always will.

Bitch/Brag: Did this even though I'm playing football later today, which always leaves me sore!
GTKY: What is your greatest accomplishment? Actively, it was running a 10-mile race and finishing under my goal time. (Right after that I got injured, so that was my peak.) Otherwise, I'd say it was finishing my masters degree with high grades while I was also working full-time. Because I continued working, I took on no new debt, which was totally worth the endless hours in the end!
Bitch/Brag: My legs are sore from the squats yesterday and I had to really push for proper form today, but I think I might have been off.
GTKY: What is your greatest accomplishment? I'm going to be a suck and say DS. I've carried, birthed, nourished, comforted, engaged, etc. that kid and he is wonderful and I take pride that some of that is because I've done a good job so far.
Bitch/Brag: I felt the burn in my thighs from yesterday's squats when I got up this morning.
GTKY: What is your greatest accomplishment? I don't know. I'm pretty awesome at my job. Last year, with less than 5 years on the job, I was promoted with (and to the same level) as somebody with over 30 years experience.
Bitch/Brag: I should have timed this. I think I did it in about 75 seconds. Good recovery stuff from yesterday though.
GTKY: What is your greatest accomplishment? Oh yes. Yesterday. 364 squat. 165 bench. 347 deadlift. 876 total. That's 65 lbs more than last July. The squat and bench are American records for the organization I lifted in yesterday. Deadlift and total are state records (all but the bench were already mine anyway). I fucking killed it yesterday. Went 7/9 which I haven't done in ages (my last couple meets have been 4/9 or 5/9) and I was kind of shooting the moon on the two I missed, so I was more than ok with it.
Bitch/Brag: - I feel like I'm going to have to break up the squats into 2 sessions. Burning by the time I hit 25 today. I also need to do this when my dog is not around - both days now he's tried to help and it's no so helpful! lol
GTKY: What is your greatest accomplishment? Passing the CPA exam. The damn thing owned my life for a year, but the day I got my last passing score (there's 4 parts) was such an unbelievable feeling. I've mentioned before that I'm not sure accounting is really what I want to do the rest of my life, but I'm still extremely proud of being able to call myself a CPA.
Bitch/Brag: I shouldn't have skipped yesterday and I had to do the squats in 3 sets of 10. I will be sore tomorrow.
GTKY: I guess I would say graduating college. My last couple years of college I got into a bad drinking phase. I hardly went to classes and drank heavily most nights. My last summer semester in school I did not pass a final class I needed to graduate, but I moved home anyways. Two years later I took that class over and drove an hour twice a week to attend the class and finally graduated!
Bitch/Brag: Not sure which is worse, doing this before or after my runs.
GTKY: Graduating College. I was a mess during high school and ended up dropping out and getting my GED. Walking the stage and getting my diploma was a big moment for me. It felt good to prove everyone wrong about me.

Done! The push-ups are going to kill me. I don't know what my greatest accomplishment would be, maybe mine is still to come I'm pretty proud of doing well in law school without ever feeling super stressed. I actually loved school (hate being a lawyer tho...whoops!) ...and I'm proud of putting together a wedding mostly on my own for almost 200 people in 6mo last year while working full time so that we could be reasonably sure my grandmother would be able to attend Physically it would be doing some short races last year, I really hate running so just completing them was big accomplishment.
TTC since July 2014. CP March 2015. IVF #1 March 2016, 5R, 3M, 2F with ICSI. Transferred 2 on day 3. CP. Surprise BFP and then CP August 2016 (prep cycle for IVF). IVF #2: zero eggs retrieved IVF #3: 6R, 5M, 5F, 3 (2 8A and 1 11A) transferred, one "B" graded embryo frozen on day 5. BFP (at home 7dp3dt, confirmed 14dp3dt with 1552 beta) and U/S at 5w5d, 2 sacs and 2 yolks!
Bitch/Brag: I'm with @underdog25 on this one... once we start upping push ups I might die. I have never been good at push ups. I might have to switch to modified if we have to do a lot more, which I hate.
GTKY: What is your greatest accomplishment? Thus far, my greatest accomplishment would have to be finishing nursing school.
Bitch/Brag: My legs are on fire. But that's probably also because I climbed 20 flights of stairs yesterday after the squats. #thatwasabaddecision #shouldhaveusedtheelevator
GTKY: I'd say probably this past year has been a big accomplishment. I'm in grad school full time, work a full time job, and have a part time internship. Both my job and internship are emotionally draining. Maintaining 70 hours a week of work + homework + maintaining a 4.0 while squeezing in some TTC sex all on 5 hours of sleep a night has been exhausting. So glad I can quit my job in August and take it down a notch. #humblebrag? #dontcurr
Bitch/Brag: Worked in the garden all day and did these in between tasks.
GTKY: What is your greatest accomplishment? MH and I paid down over $15,000 of the year after we got married. Now all we have left is our mortgage worth of student loans.
Bitch/Brag: This was literally the only physical activity I did all day. Sunday is typically my day of rest. Damn you 30 day challenge!
GTKY: What is your greatest accomplishment? Getting my MBA while working full time was pretty gratifying. One other thing I'm proud of is that when I was single and in my 20's I took myself on two amazing solo vacations - one to the Mediterranean and one to Asia. I thought going alone across the world took some balls, confidence, some dinero and ended up being trips of a lifetime.
Today's Challenge: 4 Push Ups, 12 Second Plank, 30 Squats, 15 Crunches - Yes, yes, yes, and yes!
Bitch/Brag: I completed these exercises, ran 5 miles, and did 50 minutes on the elliptical today
GTKY: What is your greatest accomplishment? I think my greatest accomplishment is getting my doctorate while struggling with an eating disorder that took almost everything away from me. While I'm not where @underdog is in her recovery, and let me tell you, she is one HELL of a strong woman because ED's are EVIL, but I am very proud of myself for the accomplishments I've made in my recovery thus far and my willingness to pursue being clean after suffering for 16 years.
GTKY: What is your greatest accomplishment? I would say graduating college. I took extra credits to get 150 credits in order to qualify for the CPA exam (which I havent taken yet) and still graduated in 4 years with honors. I also was an officer in many clubs, worked, tutored, met my husband and planned a wedding. Looking back it was crazy and I don't know how I did it but it was great.

requiressnacks I have never thought of traveling alone but it sounds awesome. While I love being with DH, I have always enjoyed being on my own.
It was awesome! I don't know if I would do it now, just because I'm in a totally different place in my life. But it was a great (twice) in a lifetime experience. I definitely want to get back to the Mediterranean, but I doubt I'll make the 25+ hour trip to Asia again.
