    I am trippin - I missed the Wednesday post - I thought I did it for some reason...well here's Thursday :happy:

    May 21 - Day 4 of 33
    REST DAY!
    THIRSTY THURSDAY
    :drinker: Drink at least 12 CUPS of water....come on, you can do it! :bigsmile:

    (Today I will not be resting - I have 35 squats to finish from yesterday and my crunches!!! - and I promised myself I would walk every night so I will still do my walk/jog:tongue: )

    If you are just joining the challenge - welcome!!! Go to our very first post to get the link for our calendar - it has the 30 day abs and 30 day crunches challenge incorporated into it. You can hop in at any time. Make sure you MESSAGE ME you SW and measurements and I will add you to the spreadsheet to track your progress.

    Does anyone have any unique ways they make sure they drink water? One way I do it is I have an app called Water Your Body and it makes a water sound if I dont log I drank a glass for a while...helpful reminder to drink:smile:

    Sorry for lack of posting over last few days, busy, busy, busy!!

    Day 3: Wednesday May 22
    Crunches: Yes
    Squats: Yes
    Water: 8
    Extra exercise: Lots of walking

    Day 4: Thursday May 23
    Crunches: Yes
    Squats: Yes
    So I forgot that we had a rest day and I did 50 crunches and 70 squats, oh well a little extra won't hurt :)
    Water: 8
    Extra exercise: had lots of things on today with the kids, appointments etc but managed to get in an hour of walking

    Day 5: Friday May 24
    Crunches: Yes
    Squats: Yes
    Water: No, will try to get extra tomorrow
    Extra exercise: finally set up our home gym in our garage, we have had all the equipment for a while but it was stacked up in a corner and not usable. Kids went off to Kinder for the morning so I set myself the task of cleaning a space in the garage so I can work out at home whenever I want to, no excuses. It took Hubby and myself 3 hours to get it sorted but we now have weights, boxing bag, home gym and exercise bike all set up. Just need to use it now :)
