Love My Abs Challenge: The Last Day

by // // Comments off

Our Love My Abs Challenge is winding now, but the crunches will continue!

I am so in love in the results of the last few weeks.  After 4 weeks, I feel stronger, but I feel and look leaner.  I can’t believe how much I shaved off my waist in such a short time!  The shorts I’m wearing in this photo are size extra small and that just blows my mind.

Even though the challenge is over, I will continue to do 200 reps a day and slowly increase because I think it’s so important to continue strengthening my core.

How did you end the challenge? Are you stronger and leaner too?  Link up and tell us all about your lovely abs!



Little Lion Man caught a nasty cold and it was difficult to do crunches with a crying green snot toddler clinging to me all day.  So I totally flaked and missed Days 23 & 24, but I was back on track on Day 25 and finished the challenge strong by moving up to 200 reps and two 30 seconds planks a day.

For March, I am leading a new challenge: “Pushing Our Luck”.  Basically, we will be following the 100 hundred pushups plan for the next four weeks.  The challenge starts tomorrow March 1, so stay tuned for my initial test (a vlog post) and all the specifics to the challenge tomorrow.

For a sneak peek and a good laugh, watch my initial 100 pushups test from three years ago.
