My 30 day challenge

  So normally I don't like challenges, but I have come across the 30 challenge for squats. For those who don't know it is a workout. Because I always feel weird doing squats I have decided to turn the 30 Day Squat Challenge into a 30 Day Curl-up Challenge. I have been wanting to lose weight since having my first child. When my son was 2 I started to lose some of the baby weight from having him. I lost 13 lbs, almost before I got pregnant with the youngest. Now I'm working on losing the belly along with writing my book and reading other works. Not something that's easy even if you eat healthy food.
  I have noticed anyone, well anyone I know that is, that decides to take a supplement to help them lose weight forgets that you no matter how long you take them if you don't eat healthy and exercise you won't lose much weight. It makes me want to throw something at their heads when I ask what they are doing to help them lose weight and they say they are using some green tea extract or whatever, but not doing anything else. I see what they are eating, but they insist that it doesn't matter the stuff helps them lose a lot of weight.
   I don't buy it. I believe in working hard for something. If you want to get something done then you need to work hard to accomplish it, whether it be losing weight or working on a project.

   For my hard work I'm going to do the same thing they do with the 30 Day squat Challenge but with curl-ups or sit-ups. I'm using that for my guide to hopefully lose the baby belly. It has been 2 years since I had my baby girl, and I have tried other things, but haven't really stuck with. I have done measurements on my ab region so I think on day 15 I will measure again and see if I have tightened up the ab muscles any. That's all I really want. I wouldn't mind dropping a few pant sizes either. I only really need to lose 20lbs to be where I should be for a good weight for my height and age.

  If anyone is up for the challenge with me leave me a comment. Let me know how you progress through it. I will keep you up-to-date with my progress with this small journey, plus my progress with the book. It is nearing the end of August which means I only have a September, October, and most of November to get it done if I want to reach my goal of having it done. That is why I have been working like mad to getting work done on it. That is another story.

Don't forget if you want to take this challenge with me let me know when you start and how you progress. Have a lovely day readers! Don't forget to follow the blog to keep up-to-date with everything posted.
