Way to go!!
~ BUT I skipped my spike day on Sunday, so I did not feel bad about it. Scale was at 147.5, so not too bad. 
I don't know how high my knees really got and my sets weren't sets of 100, but I did all 300 total and it felt great. Now the planks, I had to break up in to 15-30 second increments, how sad is that? Oh well, gotta start somewhere. 
I don't know where I would be without you, probably back in fatville.
Hi there, hope all is well with you!
for a better next few days away at the river!!
You look fit and trim. If were to ask people to guess our weights, they would say you are 15 pounds less than I am. 
So what should I do? Should I fast longer than 24h? Go till tomorrow morning? maybe I will get hungry towards dinner time. -- I think this IFlife style is getting easier and easier. I have drank a ton of green tea with lemon; good cleansing drink.
I completed Jo's and my arms are still sore, my tummy is sore from Krystal's. I could not do high knees with the rope. I have that bum ankle. If I bounce on it or jog, I feel the plate
