Checking in!

Today three of us completed our 5K virtual race!  It a was hot and humid way to start the day, but as always, I feel good now that it's done.  Virtual 10K is on Saturday.

Sit ups...how are you coming?  I have successfully completed 3 days of 100 sit ups.  Haven't done them yet today, but they are coming!  Burpees are coming along too.  Day 4 is today, so I have 4 burpees awaiting me.  Still cannot wrap my head around doing 100 in one day!

Signed up for a new challenge today.  Spartan Sprint.  It's a trail run with loads of military obstacles built in.  I'm excited, but I know a lot of arm strength training is ahead of me.  Oh, and I guess some practice hilly, trail runs.  And...maybe some mud?  Hmmm-what was I thinking?

It's Thursday...what have you done for yourself today?

Challenge

Summer means more skin shows, right?  Even though I have lost weight and continue to exercise, I really don't feel totally comfortable in my skin.  I concentrate on the negatives far too much.  I'm trying to stay positive and like what I see in the mirror, but it is easier said than done, for sure.

So, I've decided to take on a challenge to improve both my body and my mind, stay positive in the process, and enjoy the journey. 

Here's the challenge (or should I say challenges?) Both of which came from other awesome blogs!
1.  100 sit ups a day for 100 days.  Hmm...that's a long journey, but I'm in for the ride.  At least I'm sitting?  Ha!
2.  Burpees...yep, I HATE them (almost as much as push ups!).  Another 100 day challenge, but a little different.  Day one-1 burpee, day two-2 burpees, and you guessed it, day 100, 100 burpees.  It may take me all day to get to 100!

I think through these two challenges I can focus on strength, growth (both mentally and physically), and I WILL like the changes I see.

So, now, who's in with me?  I do much better when I have friends along for the ride. No pressure of course!  At the end, I promise to post inches lost.  (See, already I am positive!  I KNOW the numbers will go DOWN!)
