I was not good at sticking with the squats although I really need to do them. In maintenance and holding steady at 128-130.

I tend to stick with ab and plank challenges better.

Day 20: Thank God for rest!!
Planned a night in with my girls! Watched Aladdin while they had FroYo and I had cottage cheese. It was fabulous.

Day 21:
Completed squats.
I'll get to meditation while in bed. Its was a busy day!!

B side: Any changes? I see some lengthening of my thighs and my butt is tighter!

20. No night in with friends planned. I don't think any of us are interested in organizing a night in. Rest day from squats.

21. Did do a meditation yesterday morning at the start of my workshop. Also accomplished 150 squats.

22. More workshop today....no face time with family who live far away. Will get to the 155 squats at some point.

B-side. 1. I think it would be hard to live without the smart phone when on the road because of the ability to call for help or get directions. Otherwise, I grew up in the days before cell phones and I miss that some days. 2. Not sure that I see any measurable difference but I wasn't looking for any. It was about the exercise for me. I think I'd be interested in some ab work, particularly the lower abs. I feel like I neglect them.

23. Groaning and moaning in my head about 160 squats and knowing it's only going to get worse. But, I got them done and I did accomplish 155 yesterday as well. Thanks to the puppy, I started going home for lunch and I ate that on my deck in the backyard. If it's still light out when I get home, I'm thinking I need to do some poop patrol for the dogs' and my sake.

In the meantime, I got crazy and signed up for a 5K walk this Saturday!

B-Side Question: Fast or Slow Squats?

B-Side Question: Fast or Slow Squats?

Slow squat with hand weights.

They’re soooooo much more difficult and I can actually concentrate more on the muscles I want to work out when I go slowly.
Also don’t feel as if I’m one wobble away from blowing a knee out when I go slow and heavier.

Day 23
160 squats divided in 2 phase of 80s!!???
Do something outside: [emoji848][emoji848] I walked to the mailbox!! It's raining cats and dogs here so doing anything outside is nearly impossible. BUT, thank God for rain!![emoji119][emoji119]

B sided: Definitely fast interspersed with slow depending on the wobble![emoji38]

Good Morning! Its Wednesday (WCW) and here's a rare B-Side Question:

Do you have a WCW (Woman Crush Wednesday) or someone you admire for various reasons?

?????????????????????

24, Squat rest day! No date nights for me. I'd have to meet someone I'd want to do that with, lol.

25. My butt is having a rebellion so not sure about squats today. Who knows, I may suck it up by midnight, lol.

B-side - 1, depends on the quantity...currently that's a lot so those squats are faster. I'd go slower if I was doing less. 2, Not sure I understand the question, but, yes, love my oldest (long-term) and dearest friend. I used to say that if she'd been a guy, I'd have married her. Quite happy to be best friends and sisters at this point.

25. Update - no squats. I also blocked a couple of negativing things that were showing up on my facebook feed.

26. No squats. I think I fell off the squat wagon. That's it! I said no to squats! LOL.

27. Squats continue to be unlikely. I did start yoga teacher training this week on top of my usual daily gym routine. Oh, and because of that, I don't expect to use the phone tonight either.

Tomorrow is the 5K walk! I'll let you know how that goes. Happy Friday folks!

TGIF!!!!!!![emoji119][emoji119][emoji119] This was a helluva week!!!?

Day 24, 25 and 26
Hubby and I did date night last weekend. It was lovely!
I'm not on any social media other than Bariatric pal by choice! So nothing to unfollow. I definitely said no to writing a blog for work. I'm typically the go to person for the blogs but I was TRULY swamped this week so it was a "HECK NO"!! Moment when I was asked! No guilt too!!
Day 27: I'm using my phone as we speak so hard for it to be a phone free night. I may drop it when I'm done writing this[emoji2].....but then again, I'm on call tonight so no can't do.

Squats!! Was happy for rest day! From day 25 onwards, squats have been done in 2 events![emoji28]
I'll complete the rest of my 95 later tonight.

B side: My older sister is my absolute girl crush!! I ? her!! She's admirable, courageous and FIERCE!!!

Did I say TGIF??? Yay!!
