I just finished my first week (starting on week 3) of the program. The sit-ups and squats are already easier. It’s really cool to see yourself progress. I have three days next week, plus an exhaustion test. Considering I started out maxing out at 59 sit-ups and 42 squats, I can’t wait to see how much I’ve improved.

Starting my sit-up and squat challenges today!

This is one of those Pintrest “Do so many a day” type of things. This is a program that was developed by a professional and it is completely free. You can join me at twohundredsitups.com! I am tracking here because it will keep me accountable. I am also tracking my weight with WeightWatchers here. 

The goal is to make significant progress in the next four weeks because I have an event that requires a bathing suit! Of course, I will be continuing afterwards too. 

Exhaustion test 1:  59 Sit-ups 42 squats

Whew, I didn't think I'd get it done, but I hit it and now I feel good. My legs are dead though because of the gym last night hence the fact that I didn't do as many squats as I'd wanted. I've also decided to push through with the pushups. There's a pushup challenge at the end of week 2 (which I'm doing) to see how many I can do. I will only count the full pushups that I manage though. 

Anyhow, I feel strong!!!!!! W2D2, I just made you my bitch.

Pushups: 26/100

Squats: 85/316

Situps: 91/355

I did W2D1 of 100 pushups, 200 squats and crunches. I love these apps and I feel like the squats and crunches are really doing something amazing to my body. As for the pushups...well things aren't going as well. I can't get all the way down!! I can only get about halfway down. Now, this is a major improvement from W1D1 but I'm not too sure what to do. Should I just keep going knowing that I'm going to get stronger and gain better form or should I just redo week 1? I'm really happy that I can keep my core strong and that my body stays straight, but I'm really excited at the idea of being able to do a proper complete pushup. Any advice would be very welcome.

Here are the numbers so far (today/total so far):

Pushups: 24/74

Squats: 80/231

Crunches: 72/244

I'm feeling strong like a horse!! 

I did w1d3 of 100 pushups, 200 squats and crunches. My abs hurt and my knee started doing this strange clicking sound during the last set of squats, but I feel like a beast, or at least a very girly one. 

Numbers (today/monthly total)

Pushups: 22/50

Squats: 57/151
