Last week, I did week 1 of the Abs by April challenge sponsored by Megan at Run Like a Grl. The challenge for the week was to do a plank each day. I have to admit, I did not fully succeed at doing a plank each day (I take a few days off each week and did not do ANYTHING on those days). Other than that, I incorporated planks into my workouts or just did a plank in my bedroom when I remembered.
My hardest day of planking was on Tuesday, January 22. I attended a hardcore workout class at the gym, and the instructor had us planking and squatting the whole time. My abs were killing me the next day....hurts so good! ;) I unfortunately do not have any pictures of me planking, but I did take post-week-one stomach pictures so I can track progress, if any.
(Post week 1: Wow look at all the crap on my floor!!)
I don't see much progress yet, but it has only been one week. Not to mention my healthy eating habits went out the window this weekend when I consumed my body weight in burgers, sushi, and DQ. I wish I could say that I regret those decisions.... Seriously though, if I want to lose that little fat deposit under my belly button I will have to cut down on some of the unhealthy stuff and do more ab work and lifting.
This week's challenge is not a daily challenge, but something to do 3-4 times this week. I will keep you all updated on my progress.
Topic #2 of this posts involves my serious lack of any "style" posts. My blog is called Miles & Style but so far, most of my posts are about training. I really do intend to do more gear and clothing reviews, so keep an eye out for those. I think I will have to recruit my roommate to start taking pictures of me or something because the mirror shots are so Myspace.
