We are 14 days in to the 30 Day Ab Challenge and I have to say, it's been very hard...harder than I thought it would be, but I've persevered through it.
I've actually had conversations, arguments even, with myself about getting up off the couch and getting the challenge over with for the day. These arguments get pretty heated, but I've won them all...or have I??
I'm happy to say that I haven't yet missed a day and I plan on keeping it up.
Wish me luck!
'Til next time

Next challenge :)
Well...my last challenge worked out well. I stopped biting my nails. I never thought I would be able to since I did try many times in the past...but here we are weeks later and I've stopped. When I got back from DIsney, I had some Disney Jamberry Wraps waiting for me and I decided to try them...see result below :)
The two previous challenges have also been pretty successful. I haven't had Pepsi/Coke (dark colas) since early March. I haven't had any Potato Chips in a couple months either. I sometimes miss them, but the horrible cravings have all but disappeared!!
I think those challenges combined with the insane number of steps we were walking at Disney have helped me lose 10 lbs in the last 4 months. I'm not doing these things to lose weight...but it's a nice side effect :)
Now for my next challenge. This one will be a tough one. Last month, a few friends of mine were doing the "30 Day Ab Challenge". I decided to push it a month because of my Disney Trip and there was no way I'd be doing an Ab workout every day of my trip.
So here it is. On July 1st, I will be starting the 30 Day Ab Challenge. It looks EXTREMELY difficult, but I'll be trying anyway. I'm sure I'll be needing some encouragement during this one...I'm good at convincing myself OUT of things...but I have to do this one.
*Fingers crossed* that this goes well. I'll be taking measurements to see if there's any difference at the end of the challenge. Granted - if I eat horribly during that time, it won't be helping me much, so I'll be starting the "My Fitness Pal" app again to try to keep my calories to a normal level.
I'll probably keep updates going on this more regularly.
Have a fabulous Canada Day Weekend y'all :)
