[mrss44]

Done.

I forgot to check in yesterday. Those squats tho. My thighs are sore.

[flojo973]

Done!

GTKY: My go to snack since about 2001 is Cheez-its. Cheez-its 4 life.

[rablissful]

Done!

OMG squats are going to be the end of me.

Ummm I don't snack much. I do love Annie's popcorn, Snyder's cinnamon sugar pretzel bites, yogurt, cape cod bbq potato chips.

[sleepymonkey]

I'm checking in now though I won't be able to complete until this evening. I peaked ahead to the last day of the challenge and omg I'm going to hurt. The squats and plank will be the death of me!

GTKY: I snack all the time. I would actually prefer to just snack all day rather than eat meals. That's probably why I'm 40 lbs overweight. Currently my go-to snack are pretzel goldfish. DD loves them, even more than the cheddar ones, and I have been stealing them lately.

[judyblume14]

My go-to snack is usually a granola bar because we always have them.

I haven't done today's yet, I just wanted to pop in and say that I like to think of my self as fairly in-shape. My core though, woof. I honestly don't think I can plank for 25 seconds.

Although I have been overweight most of my life, I was always very strong. I used to be able to plank for a minute easily. Then I had a c-section and that went all out the window. My whole body starts shaking after 10 seconds. By day 30, we're supposed to be able to do 2 minutes. I am not optimistic.

[judyblume14]

sleepymonkey, I do some weightlifting, and always always always get corrected on my form. And the reason behind my crappy form is ALWAYS my lacking core strength. I want to say it's my daughter's fault that I lost it. but I never really had it to begin with. I need to do like, 55 30-day cycles of planks. Ew.

I just got back from my interview in Boston. I'm lying in bed in PJs and eating cookies. This day's workout is going to be a challenge! I want to continue eating junk and conk out early.

[hurricanerek]

Done

I like to snack on popcorn.

Also, I'm training for a half marathon and those squats still burn. Different muscles I guess.

[rungirlrun]

notagoddess, hope the interview went well!

Done!

I love most snacks, but granola bars are a go to. My son calls them mommy bars and always steals mine. Grrr.

If need be break it up. Do a 15 second plank. Take a small break and then do the last 10 seconds. Especially as the time goes up I usually have to break it up.

[mill23]

Done!

Does anyone else feel like the squats are escalating quickly? Yeesh.

GTKY: I LOVE candy, give me all the gummie bears. But I also love popcorn and am currecntly addicted to the Boom Chicka Pop kettle corn - and it's all natural and pretty low cal so I don't feel too bad about that.

[jubilantsquirrel]

Done! I also did yesterday's today. My legs are dying.

Is it bad to say goldfish? I love those things. But if we're talking healthy foods then I would say a cup of mixed fruit. I love green grapes, strawberries and honeydew.

You can also go down to your knees, keep your core stretched, long, and engaged and you'll still feel it. They let us do it in the bar class and it helps me a lot bc long planking hurts my lower back sometimes.

[wannabmama]

Done!
I love snacks...popcorn is a favorite. I also get naturebox snacks delivered monthly so I have a rotation of *somewhat* healthier snacks (they have sriracha cashews that are to die for).

[britta]

Done! Yesterday got away from me and I never completed the challenge, so today I doubled up. 80 some squats was rough!

Rants/Raves: I don't hate crunches anymore. I used to loathe core work until I completed a 30 day Ab Challenge back in June. When I do them I kind of enjoy the burn. This must be what "Runner's High" is like. Not that I would know, if I'm running something is likely chasing me.

GTKY: Snacking. *sigh*
Salty: Popcorn (air popped, butter and salt added cuz no to healthy) or Goldfish crackers, depending on the time of day
Sweet: Oreos.
I never used to snack. Then pregnancy with DS happened. It's a habit I haven't been able to kick.

[judyblume14]

Ok. I did it. And I did the full 25 second plank. And I accidentally did 5 extra sit-ups.

[GOmamab15]

Done. (Misread my notes and did extra 20 seconds of plank.)

I'm scared for later in the month as this challenge progresses. I'm going to have to start doing half in the AM and half later.

I love junk food! My go to for healthy snacks are baby carrots and boom chicka popcorn.

[icedtea]

Forgot to post, but done! (despite the best efforts of my dog during the crunches)

I've been snacking on dark chocolate-covered almonds a lot lately. And I always love kalamata olives.

[notagoddess]

Done just now. And I like snacking on dark chocolate and fruit and pastries. Give me all the sweets!

[butlerfan]

Finally did this....

Popcorn and cheese its for snacking
