Before the carnage began... Thanks for the pic, J. |
- 30 Day Flexibility Challenge
-- These poses (side lunge, wide split, wide straddle) make me feel weird. I look at the side lunge in the photo and then compare to how I look and there's no similarity whatsoever. I know I can't bend my left knee like that, but seriously? My right knee looks just as nonfunctional. Oh, well, the correct things were stretched, and thus, moving on...
- 30 Day Journey to Splits
-- Getting easier, but for reals, people, these are hard to do after waking from a coma. Please, dumplings, stay where you are!
- 30 Day Burpee Challenge
-- Eleven down. Urp. Urp. *ahem*
- 30 Day Vocabulary Challenge
-- This one totally fits today. alacrity: promptness in response; cheerful readiness. I will say I was awakened this morning with a new plan (no sushi today, we're doing dim sum) and responded with alacrity.
- 30 Day Back Challenge
-- My back better look amazing after this. Just sayin'.
- 30 Day Cleaning Challenge
-- I did the stuff for today and most of the stuff for tomorrow. I think tomorrow will be a pre-planning day for decluttering of the bathroom stuff. I have a ton of small shampoo, conditioner and body soap samples. I might put the family on a showering-diet of small bottle-use until they're all gone.
- 30 Day Wall Sit Challenge
-- I sat there for 70 seconds, poking my really hard thigh and nodding my head. Yup. I wonder how my friend J is doing on her two minute wall sit. I think she's rockin' it...on the floor. LOL
- 30 Day Plank Challenge
-- Okay, so I had my hubby research wrist pain for me while I sat on the wall. Planks on the hands apparently exacerbate carpal tunnel...and that's why people are switching to the forearm plank...which stinks. I don't think I have carpal tunnel, but dang. Planks hurt me. I have some half-dome stability pods that I might try out tomorrow. That will make the plank more difficult, of course, but if I can save my wrists and hands from pain and injury, fine. By the way, no shaking and I sang a ditty as I planked.
- 30 Day Arm Sculpting Challenge
-- A friend just posted something on FB about really sculpting arms. I think I'll change to that on my next 30 Day Challenge Extravaganza. This one, however, is a fine start! I'm going from zero activity for several months (inexcusable, I know) to working these guns every other day. I already have attractive veins popping out all over, so...let's take it further. That's future talk, y'all.
- 30 Day Butt Lift Challenge
-- You know, I just looked through this calendar and noticed that there are NO days off. I suppose that means I'll reach my goal sooner. When I took that class all those years ago, I think I only attended class three times a week. So, if math is my friend, 3 classes a week times 8 weeks equals 24 days to pow booty. I'm dangerously close to being half-way there!
- 30 Day Mom Challenge
-- Sweet note written. I didn't nag a bit.
- 30 Day Blog Challenge
-- Today is a challenge, for sure. I'm going to put this out there for all to hear: If I say, hey, tomorrow is a good day for a buffet or whatEVER overeating event might be available, comment with a reminder about how I'll feel afterward. Sometimes I forget life lessons...like when raw cookie dough starts to sound delicious.
One full week of challenges complete, and a little over three weeks to go, and I'm feeling confident. How is your New Year treating you?
