about a month ago, one of my favorite bloggers, Shannon, posted that she was participating in the 30 day / 300 Ab challenge. fifteen day's into the challenge, she gave us a pretty awesome update . and of course, she gave us the final results. and i was inspired. so much so, that i am on day 3 of this horrible gruelling i-think-i-might-die 30 day challenge. and today, i'm in pain. shannon warned that day 1-4 would be the worst, and as far as i can tell, she wasn't kidding. while my abs are sore, what is even more surprising to me is the pain in the top of my legs. apparently, i haven't used those muscles in years. the scissors nearly killed me last night. like, i had to will my legs off the floor. no pain/no gain was my prayer the entire time. ha! i'm also hoping that it will get easier! i've taken the before pictures as motivation...but i'm not ready to show those until i have the comparisons, so stay tuned!
Shannon is hosting a link up today for those who are/have/want to join the challenge and share their thoughts! head on over and check it out!

Oh yes! I forgot to mention the legs! OMG the legs! How did I forget! Yes mine hurt like crazy for a few days too but just like the rest, it gets better too!
You can do it! Hang in there, you will be so glad you did.
Way to go! I used to go to just an abs class at my old gym. I LOVED it. It was short and it totally worked me out. I love Crossfit, but I don't love that my core doesnt seem as strong as I'd like. Trying to ramp up the abs before the beach. Scissors are a killer! So are leg lifts and planks. Planks will make you so much stronger, but they are so hard! You go, girl!
Just starting the challenge and found your link on Shannon's blog :). Your blog is so cute, I'll definitely be following!!
I've been thinking about you and hope this is going well! You're right, those before/after pictures were amazing! YOU CAN DO IT!!! :)
