If you’re just hearing about February’s Love My Abs Challenge for the first time, it’s not too late to join in the fun. Basically, we started with a 100 dally ab exercises and tweeted about our achievements: #lovemyabs. (This week we move up to 160 exercises.) Then, each Wednesday, I’ll host a linky party for you to link up and share your recap post or add your Twitter handle.
That’s it. Now sit-up and take action! Show your abs some love this February!
To be honest, I am really not happy with this photo, but has nothing to do with results, because clearly my abs are showing. My disappointment has more to do with bad lighting and PMS. I must have taken (no lie) 50 photos of my abs but I just couldn’t get the lighting right.
And then, I wore the wrong shorts. See, my cute little running shorts have a scrunchy elastic waist. So every time I sat at the computer to inspect my photos, I would get these little elastic marks in my abdomen. Now, you may think, “No big deal. You can’t even see it.” Remember you are dealing with a woman PMSing and there is no rational behind loathing a photo.
Had the lighting or my knowledge on how to use my fancy DSLR camera been better, I think the definition and progress would have been clearer. Oh well. One more week to make the magic happen!
I may hate the photo but I love my abs!

This morning I woke up and I felt nothing. I had no jaw pain. So I jumped out of bed, threw on some running clothes and ran out the door. It was a chilly, crisp Florida morning, but I felt warm all over because I WAS RUNNING!
