Hello Jello...LEGS!

Yep that's what the legs felt like after the challenge today! It looked a little something like this:
10 push ups/30 squats/repeat
30 bicycles/30 reverses/30 lunges/repeat
15 dips/60 sec. wall squat/repeat
65 sec. plank (complete with sweat dripping off my forehead!!)
Time: 11 minutes

No run tonight. Runs scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday. Should have gone for a walk but didn't :(

Food highlights:
toast with PB & J (i have it everyday but sometimes it just tastes better!), cucumber slices with hummus and a dash of frank's!, mixed bowl of strawberries and raspberries.
I'd like to say that my green smoothie was a highlight but something was a little off in it. I think it's the banana. I've tried putting it in to sweeten it up but I just don't like the taste :( I need to just stick with berries and pineapple, I guess!

GREAT JOB getting the challenge done! I wish I could say the same!! I almost made Alex sit and watch me do it (usually I do it when I'm here alone)... but I was so tired I figured I'd do it after he left... but I should have done it in front of him because then a headache developed. Oh well.

You did awesome... Holy crap I can't believe how much you've increased the amount of stuff you've done! Do you see or feel a difference in yourself? is it doing what you wanted it to? Have you started thinking about what to do for our next round? I saw someone doing 'supermans' on TV yesterday... I thought that would be a good exercise to incorporate next month!

Funny you should mention PB&J. I read online today that is going to be one of the new larabar flavours! There's 3 new flavours... one I'm not sure of, 1 is PB&J and one is a pina colada type!!!

I forgot to mention in my post that a girl from work went to buffalo yesterday (she was supposed to go last weekend) and brought me back chocolate amazing grass. I added a scoop to my morning smoothie at work... i don't know if it's a coincidence or not... but things were definitely 'moving' later in the day... I'm all cleaned out today!!!

I'm the same as you... not feeling it the next day... BUT while I'm doing the crunches I definitely feel it. I really need to keep working on abs!!! There are some great exercise ideas on the prevention website. Maybe we'll still want to keep the wall squats since they are still a good challenge... AND we are working our largest muscle group really well with them (as Bob would say!). Definitely some thinking to do!
