Still going strong with the challenge! And doing my squats every day for the tushie challenge too!!

This is how it's shaping up so far:

1. Gym workout
2. Pilates class and 20 minute cycle
3. Gym workout
4. Body pump class
5. Gym workout
6. Gym workout

I found myself alone at the gym yesterday when I arrived about 4.40 so I decided to check out the 'man' weights and found a good one for triceps. I can't lift much (yet!) but I can feel it working and my arms really need it!

How's everyone going with their challenge? My status is slightly bored but still very determined! Pilates tomorrow so I can break up the gym workout routine!

Keep up the great work y'all started just a week ago!

The Legend:

Congrats to everyone working so hard, coming into the hard time to stick to your New Years goals and resolutions, thanks for helping me keep going. I only started last month with the exercise challenge, it made such a difference last month, pushing me to meet my goal.
