SEPTEMBER 2017
Let's go! One more month before we begin celebrating holidays. The special flavored treats are already on the shelves: pumpkin spice, cinnamon spice, Mexican chocolate, gingerbread, white chocolate peppermint, ugghhh . . . the list goes on & on.
I hit a plateau this month - actually, I finished the month 0.2 pounds heavier. I hate these times, we're so tied to our scales. Thank goodness I know that even if the scale doesn't move, I'm changing my body inside & out!
Are you ready? Let's get it!
We didn't do arms in August, so here goes . . .
Total body:
If you're serious, join me every day!
As always, NO JUDGING; DO ONE OR ALL; TO JOIN TOUCH/HIGHLIGHT THE LITTLE STAR AT THE TOP RIGHT OF THE PAGE and please try to CHECK-IN DAILY!
Don't forget to weigh, measure & take lots of "before" pictures; share your stats if you like. Did you see/feel any changes in August? Yes, GREAT! No, well it's time to kick it up a notch.
See you tomorrow!
P.S.
A common question I'm asked is how do you log exercises that don't populate in MFP. I'm sure everyone has a system, but I time my exercises & then log the time under "Calisthenics" or "Circuit Training". If you have other methods, please share! Best wishes & GO GET YOUR GOALS!!!

I'm in for all 3, though I'm pretty sure no matter how hard I try 5 min of plank straight isn't gonna happen!!
I feel great after August's challenges and while my weight plateaued I know my core is stronger and my pants are fitting better.4 -
This month I'm in for the Arm & Plank Challenge!!!!2

Hi everyone, I am signing up for all three. I must admit I am a little intimidated by a 5 min plank.1
-
Here's to an amazing September!
Friday, day 1 complete!
P.S.
My Daily Workout was done with modifications. I have two bulging discs so no jumping for me. One foot on the floor at all times & I'm VERY careful when lifting weights. Do what works for YOU!

Friday September 1, 2017
40 crunches *
10 triceps dips *
20 side lunges (each side)*
15 incline push ups*
10 oblique crunches (each side)*
30 butt kickers*
15 jackknife sit ups*
Planking 20 sec
You will notice I omitted jumping jacks. The sad truth of the matter is that at 331.7 lbs, I am finding them much too painful. I find when I jump, my belly pulls down, and it feels painful.3 -
Day 1 done. A great start for September!!!1

day 1 and 2 arms, plank and daily workout challenge done2
-
I'm in for planks. My wrists have been really sore lately so unfortunately the pressure on them from the push-ups and dips leaves me out of the complete arm challenge. I will hopefully be able to do the bicep curl/punches and change the dips to some other tricep exercise that puts less pressure on my wrists.1
