    So, I'm on day 2 of the Squat/Glute Bridge challenge and I am starting to question WHY I even entertained this idea! My legs and rearend are burning! 50 of each today.... 75 of each tomorrow. I have these thoughts that I won't finish it, but as I am learning in each work out- I promised myself I would do it and it's time I keep my promises to myself. I keep them for my son, but why is my health and fitness less important? So- I promised myself I would do the whole 30 days so the whole 30 days I will complete... let's just hope I can still walk at the end of it!

    Welcome anticakechick and ChloeCanDo!. Glad you’re back ferfilia (hope the move was okay). In fact, Curvy, kelijpa, Marina, Underanalysis:
    I’m glad everyone’s back! This challenge helped me so much the last two months. As I said, I could not have done it without you chicks--
    or without my XL bottle of Advil! Marina, strength training twice a week is plenty, especially to start! Anticake, I’m not familiar with the bridge
    challenge but it doesn't sound like you're ready to recommend it yet! Lori, I know you’re just starting - 3 miles is a lot! Hope you’re not sore!
    Sum, sorry to hear about the ear infection. I'm guessing gardenerjoy is still on vacation?

    Oct 1 – 20 minutes (despite my enthusiasm, not a very ambitious start to the month!)
