Andy left a comment asking how many crunches I'd done, so I decided to tally them up. I have been keeping track of the comments and then how many crunches I do each day on a calendar. (And my little task-master is helping keep up with them, too.)
On Friday, the 11th, I did 21 in the morning and 12 in the evening, for a total of 33. Waaaay too many to do on the first day!
On Saturday I did 39. Looking back I'm pretty sure that I messed up and did more than I actually had to, but -- oh well! For the record, 39 is also waaaay too many to do on the second day!
On Sunday I had 12 to do. It didn't seem right to drop from 39 all the way down to 12, so I made it an even 20. On Monday, my comments garnered only 7, so I made it an even 20 again. On Tuesday I had 10 comments for crunches and again made it an even 20.
Yesterday there were 14, so I again rounded up to 20. Today I had 10 comments to crunch to, so I stuck with 20 again. So far I only have three comments for tomorrow.
I am saving my comment alerts each day until after I do my crunches; then I'm deleting them. Hopefully I haven't missed any. I'd like to get up to 50 a day before the end of the month. Perhaps next month I'll do a different exercise or alternate between crunches and something different.
I can tell a difference in my abs. For one thing I'm terribly sore! lol I've been walking every day, and doing Curves every other day. I haven't weighed yet this week, but the shorts I put on today did seem more loose. I guess when I measure next month I'll be able to tell what kind of difference I've made. I have had more energy, that's for sure!
Anyway, there you have it: I've done a total of 172 crunches this week!

I think it's awesome your sticking with it. 15-20 is the normal start up for crunches, as they get easier you want to add accordingly. You should feel a little tight toward the end of the count, not painful. If it feels like too much drop the numbers until you can do them easily. It's just the way I've learned to do them with ease and still make a difference. (Hugs) Indigo
Excellent...you are doing great!
xx

I admire your dedication, Just don't overdo.
Good luck on shaping up. Have a great day!
Forgive me for my lack of visits lately, my alerts have been few and far between over the last few months...
Girl, in reading this entry...i feel motivated...and am planning on getting back on track next week after my vacation with my diet and exercise....i've lost 17lbs since November...if i haven't gained in the last couple weeks...I only weigh every 2 weeks...it helps me from getting discouraged... I haven't been dieting and exercising as much as i should lately...I have a harder time in spring/summer....cause I am on the go so much...
Way to go!!!!! Keep up the good work
Hugs
Terri
You're doing great! I have been keeping track of mine too but need to post about it someday. :) A bunch, that's for sure. :)
I had to laugh at you saying Thomas had to order Eler Beth to stop talking about kites, but I do love obssession. Since I tend to be that way. I tried to inspire a love of kite flying in my grandson Dante, since we have such a wonderful park close by for flying, and lots of wind. It's still windy. We even had a kite shop for quite a while close by, but he was more interested in the magic tricks! Gerry
