in Motivation and Support
Hey guys!

Alright, so lately I've been feeling super motivated! I've signed up for two events this summer, those being the Spartan Race (5km obstacle run) and Color Me Rad (5km run) and I'm really focused on getting prepared for those events so I don't fail miserably/die. :P

So here I am doing a 3 (ish) week challenge for myself. They may seem silly and random, but they're goals for me!

TERMS OF THE CHALLENGE (TILL APRIL 1ST):

1. [ Do a daily 30 min (or more) run/jog ] - I know it doesn't sound like much, but I've always had crappy cardio and heavy asthma so these are quite a workout for me.

2. [ Do 20 crunches every second day for week one, 30 for week two and 40 for week three ] - My core is a sad thing, so this is a start!

3. [ Do 20 squats every second day for week one, 30 for week two and 40 for week three ] - Gotta work on dat butt.

4. [ On days I'm not doing crunches and squats, do a weight workout for my arms ]

5. [ Stay under my calorie limit every single day for the rest of the month ]

6. [ Don't weigh or measure myself until April 1st ]

7. [ Post before/after photos on April 1st ]

I'll be using this thread to post how successes and failures and all that stuff, so please feel free to stop in and say hello. Give me some helpful tips, or anything! All your awesomeness keeps me going. :)

Also, feel free to add me! Could always use more MFP friends. <3

    Crunches and squats done! I forgot how hard it is to do proper squats for me lol. My balance is disastrous!

    Didn't run as long as I would have liked, but I did use the treadmill to mimic climbing hills and such so my legs are killing me today lmao.

    Shift work is a killer sometimes! 12 hour day shift and I am just beat. Still hit the gym, but not as long as I'd have liked. Did the "hill climbing" exercise on the treadmill to get a better burn in a shorter period of time and did my arm weights! So, not a total fail! EVen if I can't meet my exact goal for the day, I'll still do something to get myself moving!
