Today is the last day of the month so you are probably wondering how I did on the ab challenge? I completed 16 out of 30 days. I did modify the challenge instead of doing 300 repetition a day I did 125 to 150 reps. I have noticed a difference in my stomach, it feels tighter even under the layer of fat. I am glad I took a picture at the beginning of the month so tomorrow I will take another and compare and keep you posted. Since I didn't get 100 percent on this challenge I am going to do a re challenge myself and try to increase my reps complete the 30 days.
I have decided to also add a food challenge. NO FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS FOR THE MONTH OF OCTOBER. I thought this was an appropriate challenge since Rob and I are starting our spending money budget tomorrow. We are really trying hard to pay off our debt this year so we now have to have an allowance :(
On Friday my sister and I went apple picking! That was quite an adventure we got lost going to the orchard so instead of taking 30 minutes to get there it took over an hour but I really can't complain it was a beautiful drive. The leaves are starting to change colour which is always so beautiful! When we finally arrived it also turned out to be a farm. We got to see cows, goats, and chickens. We picked 60 apples in total and they are delicious! We also bought honey that was fresh from that day yum! I would definitely do this again. First time for everything. Here is few pictures my sister took of the day.

I got a haircut and colour for fall. Here's a picture. I love the cut but I am still getting use to the colour in few washes I think I will like it better.
See you tomorrow for my workout update.
Who will join me again for the ab challenge? or The no fast food challenge?

ReplyDeleteI think that's a great idea Mom.. :) I hope my skin shrinks back.... I really do not want loose skin.
DeleteWe don't do fast food so that one is easy for me, but I'll have to work up to the Ab Challenge! I can try!
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures at the apple orchard. What a fun thing to do.
I would love if you would join me in my abs challenge :) Your lucky you don't eat fast food. I eat a lot of Subway which I guess is healthier then other chains but cooking at home is way better and cheaper I just wish I liked to cook.
DeleteThanks! It was nice to have some sister time :)
Your sister takes great pictures!!
ReplyDeleteNo challenges for me, but good luck on yours...both sound great!
Thank you :) I passed along the message to my sister and it made her happy you said that. She has been a photography for a couple of years now and she does great work :)
DeleteYes I hope I can keep up with these challenges :)
