A, B, C My Abs Dying (2/28)

Ab-solutely.

Woo hoo! I've completed day two of the Blogilates Beginner's Calendar. I'm super pumped! (It's been a few hours and my abs are still working.)

So I thought I was fine until I did the plank first thing this morning--my abs started crying. But I was on my forearms and pushed myself for a minute and a half.


Today's workout consisted of two videos: Ab Time! and ABC Abs. Holy mackerel, my abs! No tensing, but for real. The videos are under twenty-five minutes combined, so you can plan ahead.

Ab Time, worked on a few moves. And this time, I did the plank on my palms. W00t! But those obliques were just not happening today. :( But I'm not going to beat myself up too much because I will do them full out by the end of this month--it's all about improvements.

And I totally collected stickers when I was younger. I even had a sticker book. Yeah, nerdom. And you can still collect Lisa Frank stickers.

ABC Abs, oh boy, was that killer or what? Did as full out as I could, but it was hard and I had to slack a little to get through some parts. Again, I'll be doing it soon. To work the upper abs, letters of the alphabet are traced, and healthy foods are said. For the lower abs, it's YOLO/cheat foods while writing the letters.

So I've decided to make my own list. Some of the foods are questionable, so I'm putting all the foods together, and you can decide.
