Sorry I've been missing...we are doing so much. We just spend all day touring Pearl Harbor. We estimated that we were walking or climbing for almost 6 hours. My legs (along with the rest of me) are exhausted so I'm skipping squats today. We are climbing Diamond Head tomorrow so I don't think I'll get my squats in then either. I'm exercising my body regardless so I'm not going to feel badly about this disruption to the squat challenge (or so I keep telling myself). I'll probably be able to start back up on Tuesday???? We still have plans to go snorkeling and paddle boarding this week - so much more fun to "work out" with these sorts of activities :bigsmile:

Aloha, Jodios :flowerforyou: :glasses: :drinker: :bigsmile:

I was so weak I could barely lift my head let alone a dumb bell. I'm doing this in conjunction with the strength training challenge. Just 5 days to go!
