#12 says "If you are watching TV, try to tighten your stomach muscles and hold them during every other commercial this week - no TV? try it for 5 mins."
Since I don't watch TV and holding my gut in for five minutes doesn't sound interesting in any way, I amended this one for me. Since the focus was on abs, I made mine: "Do either 12+ crunches or 30+ seconds of a plank each day this week."
This worked really well! It didn't take long, but I was motivated to try to do better each day.
Sunday - 42 seconds of plank
Monday - 13 crunches
Tuesday - 52 seconds of plank
Wednesday - 13 crunches
Thursday - 60 seconds of plank
Friday - 15 crunches
Saturday - 62 seconds of plank
I should probably keep doing this one! The focus on doing these exercises also reminded me of doing Kegels when I was pregnant. Those muscles on your pelvic floor that are too often ignored? Yep. Should definitely be doing Kegels each day!
I added a "One Thing" goal for the week, because I've kind of missed doing my One Thing focus since I started Triple F Double E. I set "Do first Mystery Quilt clue." Since the second clue came out recently, I was frustrated that I hadn't even done the January clue yet! So today, I finally cut up fabric and sewed the nine-patches for the January clue. Yay! It feels really good to have this done!
Salad girl is uber impressed with the crunches and planks...whatever that is! Also love the one thing gig. I couldn't figure out how to add a note to the act of kindness, but I'd work on the quilt and forget it - DUDe - Blood and a meal to a friend in need? I think if you've done 2 remarkable things the week prior and you pull the slip you have landed on a free pass! Lots of love to my sisters!
ReplyDeleteI should keep doing those! It felt good to challenge myself to tone up my midsection. (I'll show you planks next time we're together - they're harder than they look!) I'm having fun with this. It feels good to focus on what DOES get done, instead of lamenting all the things that don't.
