Hey, y’all! So I’ve decided to do a two-month challenge to get myself in shape since I really have been in the running mood. The goal for the year was, like I always do, run 2 half-marathons. However, I’ve only ran a couple of times since the beginning of the year so no half for me. What have I been doing instead? Oh you know, just eating any and everything in my path. So I have added a couple of pounds because of this.
I didn’t realize how much my body had changed until I took the pictures you see below. Yikes!
Since I’m trying to get back to my normal weight and get summertime fine, I figured I would challenge myself for the next two months to motivate myself to get back to running. So, I’ve decided that every day in April and May, I am doing 50 pushups, 50 crunches, 50 squats, and 50 calf raises to push myself to get back into shape. Yikes.
Every Tuesday, until the challenge is over, I will post new pictures to show my progress. I also plan to take a healthier approach with my food choices. So, we’re just gonna pretend that the burger I ate on day 2 doesn’t count!
The video shows the circuits that I’m doing for week one. Next week, I hope to increase the level of difficulty of the workout just so I’m not doing the same thing for the next 8 weeks. But honestly, that depends on where I am physically.
I’m telling you this because I want accountability. Because this is out there, I don’t want to fall back on my word. Also, every day I’ll be on Instagram Stories (here) to check in to let y’all know that I’m doing it. Also, if you want to join in the struggle to get back to you, feel free to join me! Use the hashtag #2monthfitnesschallenge
This is day 4 and I am feeling it! Whew. I am sore and it hurts to sit down! What do you do to get back into shape?
As always, thanks for stopping by!
