    I held a plank for 2 1/2 minutes this morning! And that was after pushing myself through a longer run than I've done before. Yay me! :drinker:

    That's impressive! YAY YOU!

    For me it had to be the dumbbell incline bench...

    I am 4'11 mind you...so I was using 27.5 in each hand...a whopping 55 pounds total which is over 1/2 my bodyweight.

    A guy sitting next to me was using 25s I think. It made me feel strong :bigsmile:

    This is awesome!!!

    So many bad *kitten* people here! I haven't done anything bada$$ yet but yesterday I upped how much I leg press and squat. I went to 130 for leg press and to 110 for squats. I later saw a guy, pretty fit IMO leg pressing 100. On the inside I was grinning from ear to ear.


    Edit: Now I am not sure if the plates on the leg press were 50 each or 100 each. Holy cow! If they are 100 each then I have been leg pressing 200 for the last couple of weeks and 230 yesterday. OMG, I need to check that at the gym today. I am so giddy about it now!

    I'm a graphic designer and work in an office setting. So most of my day I am sitting at a computer. I've recently starting running in the morning and this morning I went a bit farther than I usual. When I went to get a water refill..all the muscles in my back, stomach, arms and legs ached.

    I'm sore from running and it makes me feel like a bad *kitten*. :)

    I went for a run on a new route and wasn't paying much attention to how long I was out and ended up going farther than usual and did not feel like I was going to die at the end of it.

    Also, realizing I need to invest in some belts because ALL of my work pants are too big now :bigsmile:

    Took my Polar FT7 to work today to see how active I really am on an average day at a car dealership's service department.

    Even after subtracting my BMR from the total, I'm still burning 2,500+ calories in my 8 hr shift.

    Looks like I need to start eating a hell of a lot more on workdays.

    At 26 weeks pregnant, I can still do more regular pushups than my husband.
    (Sssshhhhhh, don't tell him I told y'all that. :laugh: )
    But I know if he did them as consistently as I do, he'd soon surpass me.
