2 of the bras were in a pile of clean clothes i had on the bed. It's the spare room and he never goes in there. It's where I get dressed and keep my clothes...kind of my hangout. My computer is in there..I keep it neat and picked up. The other bra was draped over the hamper cause I wore it and it was damp from the workout so i hung it there, went to work , and shut the door. He opened the door. He never bothered with that room before, or my stuff.... Don't know why now suddenly. Nothing in the house changed recently. He's as spoiled as ever with a lot of attention, gets walked ever day, fed well, snacks...huge huge huge basket of toys and bones. he's a brat

neither do I...but I have a feeling if a group do it together ...we have to post every day that we did it. Accountability. I know I don't want to miss a day when I can't post I did it and everyone else is doing it. Come on Lisa....it will be fun. Go out of your norm...it's only 30 days. We will post and cry together!! Then celebrate results and feeling accomplished!!

i got the kitchen part covered ava...lol no excuses do it! Besides...when you are in a challenge like this or training for a race....it tends to keep you honest in the kitchen too....because you wouldn't want to sabotage all your hard work. Even though the diet is more instrumental in weight loss...the exercise and diet go hand in hand to keep things flowing as they should :) Come on sis..commit!
-
yep! that's exactly it :) take pics of your abs and measurements before you start! (for yourself not to post..lol..unless you want to ;) )

yay!!! another taker! This is exciting! :) Yes...10 sec plank...doesn't start off bad. Increases every day but the most you have to do is 2 min. Planking can be done any way you want...on both elbows, one elbow, on your hands in push up position...doesn't matter as long as you keep your core tight. I am starting Saturday, March 7th but Tracey is starting today. Yay Marti!!!!! Let's go girl!!

-10 where's the guys? Sarah lured them somewhere!

Yes!! I'm so excited someone is willing to do it! You can absolutely adjust accordying to travel...but it looks like every 3 days is rest day so as you get further in the month, you probably will want to stick to it as close as possible. Let's do this chickie!

great job Sarge!! Oh believe me...I know about the kitchen...lost 65 lbs as a result. I only have 10 lbs to reach my goal, so obviously my weight loss isn't as dramatic anymore and i'm losing weight at a rate of 1 lb every 2 weeks...but that's ok I had 3 kids and when I was heavy, my stomach was the biggest part...I was shaped like an apple.. Now that it's "deflated" i'm left with a little leftover skin and whatnot..not horrible..but could be better the planks, and situps and leg lifts go a long way in helping out in that area...the toned muscles help the loose skin not appear so... loose...even if it is just an illusion

ok peeps!! Summer will be here before you know it! Also..for me I have a Florida trip planned and I leave in 40 days! Perfect time to start an ab challenge. I exercise 5 days a week and also run..but still..the abs could always use more..lol. Sooooo...... Who wants to do it? I am starting 3/7. It will be fun..we can post here about our journey and support one another. http://workout-essentials.com/30-day-ab-challenge/ The Exercises The exercises are set in a way that they become harder and harder as the month progresses. Therefore, do not overdo them on a specific day at the expense of the subsequent one. As the muscles get used to the previous day’s workout, another difficult one is waiting the following day. The intensity of the exercises increases gradually and progressively. For this reason, do not expect the results after the first day’s work out. The four different exercises that the 30 day ab challenge makes use of include sit ups, crunches, leg raises, and planks. The sit ups increase with a margin of five from the first to the last day, excluding the resting days. The rest also vary significantly, although with an increasing trend from the first day to the last one. The 30 day ab challenge is a good way of keeping fit and healthy without spending a lot of money and time.

Welcome Teary Eyed Woman!! Congrats to you on 4 months...that is fantastic!!! You sound like you are on a great path of growth, spiritual development and well-being...and we are thrilled to have you on the quit train :)

I am so looking forward to Spring...and as much as I complain about winter and wishing I lived in a more Babs friendly climate..I love Spring Fever! It's a feeling that those who live in milder climates don't experience. Seeing colors come to life, the birds singing a lovely tune at 6:00 am, the sound of lawnmowers, the smell of rain and fresh cut grass.....oh , i could go on and on!!! With this change of seasons, for many...comes triggers! Many of you are are facing Spring for the first time as a non smoker and you may experience some restlessness in response to these milestones. For example, even though you are enjoying breathing in fresh air as you sit out in your yard on a nice sunny spring day...your addict will remember you sitting outside with a cigarette...associating the feeling of peace and tranquility with the cigarette, rather than just the feeling of being there...enjoying the moment. That being said....let's focus on what you are looking forward to this Spring as a non-smoker.... Even though this July will be 3 years since I quit...I am still looking forward to going on a hike. I love hiking but as a smoker I would have to stop every 100 feet and breathe...and of course...after I would catch my breath..I would smoke. The first year I quit smoking..it was easier. Last year, easier yet! I can't wait to see how far I can go this year!! I also look forward to keeping up with my 2.5 year old granddaughter on the playground and not be out of breath. What are you looking forward to....as a non smoker in the next few months??

Yummy. The balsamic chicken was good! I added fresh string beans and asparagus and baby carrots. Made it like a stew since I don't generally eat pasta or potatoes 2 thumbs up!!
