    You got this! Still time left between now and midnight Monday!

    Already have 4 minutes done from breaks today, and may try to do 4 more after I'm done working. If I can do the same tomorrow, then I'll have caught up. :)

    Argh, not looking good to get any minutes today. Exhausted from doing housework, and strained my back a little. We'll see if I change my mind later to get a few sets in...just so I don't have to do 5 sets tomorrow to reach goal.

    Sometimes a break is good!

    Well, I ended up going 3 minutes of planks last night, and forgot to post. Also plan to get about 3 more today before the month is out to close out the challenge properly. Will post later when it is done...and then I'll see you in the November thread! :)
