Today's Challenge: 17 push ups, 95 second plank, 70 squats, 80 crunches - DONE

Bitch/Brag: Couldn't sleep so I was up and at it this morning early and finished this and my 30 DS by 5:30

GTKY: What is the best compliment someone has ever given you? (or the one that you can best remember!) Hmm - It felt nice when someone acknowledged my hard work when it came to getting back into shape after baby. Compliments about a good job at work are always nice too.

[longhornwino0907]

I have completely failed the last few days because of in-laws being in town. I will DEFINITELY do this this evening when I get home from work, though.

[requiressnacks]

Today's Challenge: 17 push ups, 95 second plank, 70 squats, 80 crunches - DONE!

Bitch/Brag: These squats are starting to kill me. I always thought it was the plank that would be the real bitch.

GTKY: What is the best compliment someone has ever given you? (or the one that you can best remember!)

My husband tells me that I'm the hottest woman he's ever seen. I don't care if this is total bullshit, yay for a husband that makes his woman feel hot.

[wannabmama]

Done!
Is it weird I'm going to totally miss this??
B/B: planks are getting harder again and my poop knee is popping like crazy with squats. But dare I say my legs are getting some tone??
GTKY: I think my favorite was when my brother (who walked me down the aisle bc my dad was officiant) looked at me right before we started walking and said, "I think you're the happiest bride I've ever seen."
He's not very emotional and we aren't very close really (7 year age difference and he lives on opposite coast) so it was especially sweet.

Today's Challenge: 17 push ups, 95 second plank, 70 squats, 80 crunches

Bitch/Brag: I failed over the weekend because I felt like crap, but I've been trying to 'make up' for it since. So I count that as win.

GTKY: What is the best compliment someone has ever given you? (or the one that you can best remember!) I'm really shy so I don't tend to look people in the eye very often. After going on a few dates with MH I finally was able to hold eye contact and he said "WOW, your eyes are beautiful! I wish you'd look at me more. " It was cute.

Is anyone planning on doing anything after the challenge is over?

I was going to ask if we were going to do another challenge after this. I'd be up for it.

Today's Challenge: 17 push ups, 95 second plank, 70 squats, 80 crunches. DONE

Bitch/Brag: Holy. Plank. My legs were burning after those squats. But brag, push ups are getting a lot easier. Woot

GTKY: What is the best compliment someone has ever given you? (or the one that you can best remember!) I remember being disappointed because I graduated late from college and my mom told me that she was proud I didn't give up, no matter the challenges I faced, I pushed through and finished. It was a small statement that meant a great deal to me. Always will.

Today's Challenge: 17 push ups, 95 second plank, 70 squats, 80 crunches DONE!!

Bitch/Brag: Holy F that plank was rough--I was shaking like a leaf!! 

GTKY: What is the best compliment someone has ever given you? (or the one that you can best remember!)

Tough question!! I'm not sure which one was the best, but I just submitted an application for grad school. I had to get three letters of reference from the doctors I work with. They said some really great things about me--it definitely made me feel pretty good!! 

Wahoo!! 5 days left!! Home stretch, ladies!!! We got this!!

Count me in!!

[wannabmama]

I'm in for more, too! I've never stuck with one of these as well as this one and want to keep it up!!

[SheilaTheTank]

Maybe we redo the challenge but add in weights? Instead of increasing the reps every day we do the same reps every three days and then rest. It would extend the challenge and give a more realistic recovery given the added weight.

My other thought is couch to 5k but given how much I hate running and feeling like I can't breath I doubt I'll make it that far before i cop out.

Either way I don't want to stop because I'm finally starting to see some results even if they are little. This check in has been my main motivation for continuing. Guilt is a great motivator. lol!

Haha, guilt is a great motivator! There have been so many days that I wanted to skip the challenge, but then I thought... I have to post!! The other ladies are rockin' it out!! 

I would LOVE to do couch to 5k. Though, I'm guessing there's some people on here that do not run. Maybe we could have a side challenge!

I did couch to 5K and really liked it. Am currently doing couch to 10K (lost all gains from 5K last year and started from scratch). It's a great way to increase running (though I still hate it, ha).

I'd love another challenge similar to this...either this one again with weights or a new one that's similarly a bit "mixed," I liked the variety in this one and the fact that even with a ton of reps it didn't take too long to do each day. And rest days. I love those.

This was a huge motivator for me. If it's going to take up a huge chunk of my time or I'm going to get incredibly sweaty from it I'll avoid doing it.

Today's Challenge: 17 push ups, 95 second plank, 70 squats, 80 crunches - DONE!

Bitch/Brag: - Plank was tough today - probably because I did the crunches first and I unusually do the plank first.

GTKY: What is the best compliment someone has ever given you? (or the one that you can best remember!) I have no idea. MH is really good about complimenting me - that always makes me happy.


I'd be up for another challenge after this. The fact that I have managed to keep up is proof that being accountable by having this check-in works for me. I had been looking at this one for myself after we finished the current one:



Most days I have to fit this in when I go home for lunch so I really can't do anything that would get me too sweaty.

[longhornwino0907]

Success!! Finally had the time and space to do the challenge. I had split up pretty much everything, but hey, I did it!!

Also, I could be up for another challenge after this, too!

I'm up for another challenge. However I DO NOT RUN. I can and do power walk but no running. We were required to in H.S. to do a 12 min run and a mile run and based on that it was determined how in shape you are. Also each quarter/semester gym class had the 12 min run again. I'm short so not really fair. I was top in the other tests but not running.

[swivelchair5]

Today's Challenge: 17 push ups, 95 second plank, 70 squats, 80 crunches Done! I'm a little late, but I will get started on Day 26 soon.

Bitch/Brag: Count me in for another challenge when we are done. (Maybe we will take a few days break though?) The ab one posted above seems good. Or we could find a yoga or stretching one? I've always wanted to do a couch to 5k, but since even with the best sports bras, I end up holding my boobs when I run, it's probably not really for me.

GTKY: What is the best compliment someone has ever given you? (or the one that you can best remember!) At my wedding my sister gave a toast and the whole thing was really complimentary. I think my favorite part was when she said I was the voice in her head, and whenever she had a tough decision, she would ask herself, 'what would swivel do?' (My sister is awesome. I love her).
