LAST FAB AB EVAR!!! Oh the plank, I could barely take it seriously, I dropped and shifted around the whole time, but I don't care... those things are just torture. I want to keep up the push-ups  but a lot of the workouts have push-ups in them, so I will just keep doing regular push-ups instead of on my knees. Woohoo being stronger! And woohoo having shoes that let me walk to work 3 days in a row without pain! Woohoo!!

This plank was so long I started crying. I start to panic when the timer dims and I can't see how long is left. I don't understand this response. I am feeling slightly ill, so everything felt a little gaggy afterwards. Tomorrow is the last day. Then I am going back to a lot of arm workouts.

They are really ramping up that plank. I don't know how to make that easier, I am screaming through it trying to convince myself I am not going to drop. Push-ups have leveled out OK  but I have got to stop waiting til right before bed to do all of this. We were in the middle of a movie and I realized I had forgotten to remember to do it. The sit-ups were really starting to drag on without my usual arm power, so my boyfriend played the Superman Theme to keep me pumped. It worked, I did my 90th sit-up right at the last crescendo. It was beautiful.

My boyfriend made me stop using my arms during my situps. I hadn't even realized I was using them. So. Much. Harder.

Hooping!!!

As always, harder than I anticipated. Today's workout had me do a series of 4 moves, but for 5 minutes each. My little ADD brain could hardly handle it, let alone my out of practice hooping hips. The first five minutes was just straight hooping, but then they told me to bend over and bounce the hoop with my booty. Ample as it is, I could not get the hang of this motion; my hoop kept whacking me in the arm after a few bounces. At least the next 5 minutes was easier, hoop like normal, let it fall to your butt, then shimmy it back on up to your waist. I got bored so I did this one the opposite was I was used to. It's the little things that make you feel like a bad-ass. Lastly, demonstrated over on the left, pass the hoop around you but *under* one of your legs. A small but unsurprising mathematical error had me doing this for 6 minutes instead of 5, during which time I decided my biggest enemy was pants. Temperature being what it was, I did not feel shirts were particularly compatible comrades either. So it has come to this, blogging in my underwear. Have I fallen so far, so fast? Day 55... too bad-ass for clothes.

I think I need a song to sing when I hit the 45 second mark on a plank. I always feel the need to yell and cry, maybe a sustained distraction would make the whole thing more pleasant. I still dread starting my workouts, but they do go by really fast, and I am being more daring with how deep I go into my pushups and still manage to make it back up every time. I guess that means I should try deeper. I'm very excited for Monday to come, as I will get to try out my new shoes, which appear to have been designed and created just for me. If this doesn't fix the foot pain, the next step is the podiatrist.    

Aren't they pretty????

Oh my word. There are only 6 more days in February, and my planks are supposed to double what they were today at the end of the month. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? I have no idea... but I guess I may find out.
