OK, so this month I thought I would zip past 180, but no! I kept up with my workouts, my best month yet, and I'm feeling so much better.
Every now and then I over do it and my hip and back go "pop" and hoo doggy, that hurts. But now I can do so much more than I used to do before that "pop" would happen. I've made some really good gains with my bodyweight workouts.
For example, when I started this challenge, I could not do a side plank for longer than 5 or 6 seconds, and now I'm up to 25 seconds on a side plank on my weakest side. Yay, me!
My pushups have improved but my squats still suck -- still working on my form on those.
Finally got my eating under control. Back solidly on my TNT plan. Can't see much difference in the photos -- didn't grab the right shorts so it's hard to compare the lower half, but I feel different! I feel good -- I feel like I'm back on track again.
