Whew! I just got done doing day 3 of the 200 Squats Challenge! Let me tell ya, today was the hardest day yet! I mentioned in my video from Day two, that I started out on week 3 because I was able to do 31 consecutive squats in the initial test, and I’m also trying column 2. Well today, I did in between column 1 and column 2…LOL. The first set I did 22, 2nd set 25, 3rd set 18, 4th set 18 and the 5th set I squeezed out 25, but it about killed me LOL. I don’t know if I had such a difficult time because I did them later in the day than I normally do, or what, but whew, I am out of breath! I have a few days rest now, so we will see how I do next week.
In the mean time though, I was thinking about going ahead with the 200 situps challenge. I really want to get in some form of exercise every day, so I’m going to do situps on the days I don’t do squats. My belly is my most problematic area, so this will be really good for me 
If you’re looking for a nice challenge to build up your strength and lose weight, I highly recommend these two. They are free and don’t take a whole lot of time to do…about 30 minutes a week! You’ll feel the fat burning off…okay maybe that’s just the burning in my thighs…but I can definitely tell a boost in my metabolism and my jeans are getting looser!
Good for you for taking on the sit-ups challenge too!

Love ya! Keep up the good work Mary!
.-= Angel Williams´s last blog ..Thankful Thursday! =-.
Mary I’m so proud of you! Angel had me doing some squats last night & let’s just say I sucked! I made it to about 10 and that was it! She’s gonna put me to the test again tonight.
You go girl! If you do the situp challenge you’ll be my hero
Situps are absolutely HORRIBLE! lol
.-= Tishia – No More Plus Size´s last blog ..My Very First Pedicure =-.
LOL Tishia! I guess I am your hero then because I did start the situps challenge, but as I stated in the blog post about it, they are actually crunches as opposed to sit ups. They’re still hard though! LOL. I also did 7, yes only 7 leg lifts afterwards. I feel like the crunches only work the upper abdomen, so I felt like I needed to do something for my lower abdominals. Thanks for the encouragement and support! Let me know how it goes tonight for ya! Love ya! See you tomorrow!
Thanks to my other friends for commenting and the encouragement too
