Hey everyone.. So my birthday is in 87 days, with 90 days left until I go out to celebrate. July 24th, is the day of the Celebration. I will be 21!

I picked out the most amazing dress, and it fits, but it would fit better with a few more inches off and a little more toning.

So here's my challenge.

By July 24th

Do:

4500 Sit ups
45 hours of purposeful walking. If you have to walk to the store, don't count that. Unless, you were going to drive and decided to walk.Don't count walking around the store, you had to do that anyways.. this is walking for the purpose of walking.

Not to hard right.. So do it with me. You just come to this post whenever you have a chance to and post what you've done. Can we do it.. That 100 cit ups every other day and an hour of walking every other day. Feel free to break it up however you want.. These are your sit ups and walking minutes..

    Rain rain go away! Hoping it doesn't rain here because if my feet stop throbbing I'd like to go on another walk this evening. Gotta get in at least *some* situps today too, just not yet! :P

    Got my 30 mins in even though I really didn't want to and am sooo tired but then I did the math and figured it'd have to be at least 30 mins a day. That was my motivation and I even broke into a little jig towards the end.

    EDIT: Haha! I broke into a jog. Not a jig. Although, maybe next time a jig is in order...

    Okay, I got in about 70 minutes of walking today.. 40 before work, and then got off the bus on the way home 15 blocks early and got in another 30..

    So 45 hours = 2700 minutes
    - 70 minutes 4/26

    Wooooooooo! 70 minutes of walking, good job!
    I'm glad I got at least 30 in before the rain today so I don't get backed up! I did my situps while my son was crawling on my knees and he thought it was the funnest game lol. He cracked up every time my head came up. That was great motivation to keep going! :)

    I like having a finish line no matter how far away it is, it's still in sight :).

    I didn't go walking yesterday as far as for the purpose of walking but I did go shopping at the mall for almost 2 hours and I wore my son in his wrap instead of in the stroller so that was an extra 20lbs resistance. Fun stuff! Didn't count that towards my walking though because it wasn't for the purpose of walking, just proud that I did it :).

    Oh man I need to catch up on my situps! I meant to do them the last 2 days but it slipped my mind until I was already in bed or was driving in my car and couldn't pop on the floor to do them :(. I need to tie a string around my finger or something.
