i'm posting a touch early for monday (it's currently 1145pm on sunday) because the day is a big one for three reasons, two huge and one not-so-much.
on monday, my friends, i will have a kindergartner.

that's huge reason #1.
on monday, my friends, i will leave my youngest at daycare for the first time.

that's huge reason #2.
i said it's a big day, didn't i?
the not-so-much-huge reason is that monday we begin the 30-day abs challenge! today isn't bad at all, requiring only a few reps of 4 simple exercises. check the challenge website for explanations about how to do each exercise if you aren't sure:
that's it for monday; feel free to repeat any or all of the day's exercises if you feel like going on for a bit.
i'll be doing monday's challenge early in the morning, probably around 615-630, but i won't have time to check in until later because of everything else going on. i'm doing it, i promise.
check in with your progress in the comments or on facebook (or both!). did you do today's challenge? how did you feel after completing it? why did you join me for the month? what are your overall fitness goals?
happy crunching.
EDIT TO UPDATE:
i completed today's exercises at around 645 this morning, and let. me. tell. you.
i feel like a total idiot for describing the daily challenge by saying, 'today isn't bad at all'. that was, ladies and gentlemen, a complete and utter lie. but not on purpose; it was an accidental lie, because i definitely thought i was better at sit-ups than i am. i didn't think i'd need extra padding under the small of my back: wrong. i also had to cheat a bit by anchoring my toes under the couch but, hopefully, i'll get to where i don't have to do that anymore at some point during the 30-day challenge.
so, whew. see you tomorrow.
