Alright, day 1 of my chart done. Plank was hard. Things (hips?) popped a bunch while doing leg raises. No pain, but disconcerting sound all the same, especially since it was an inside pop and not an outside crack, if that makes sense. Good thing for this challenge: I have discovered the joys of sweet potato toast. Bad thing for this challenge: Swedish chocolate company has recently re-released my favorite chocolate, for a limited time.

Hammers! How's it going with that?

Love the pictures, and you seem so positive and on track! Keep it up!

How's that wagon ride? Staying on it? Hopping back on when you're jostled loose?

Heyo! How's everything going? Eating well?

I've been discussing with some friends of mine a lot lately that there should be an adult scouting program created! I wish I could've been a boy scout. I was a girl scout for a few months, but all we did was plant geraniums and make camping pillows for the boy scouts =/

I still need to watch SoA! And yay for the library! What did you get?

You should look up Jessie Graff! She's a badass ANW and stuntwoman and general wonder woman, and SlothGirl might really like her!

Guys! Life is so busy. I took the time to really mess with my challenge goals today and finally get them figured out. I know I'm a few days late, but shit happens. I posted a chart of what I'm gonna try to do over on my challenge thread. We'll see how it goes. As a bonus goal, I'm going to try to fit in some YouTube workouts here and there if/when I can. There are some BuzzFeed gals that have posted some workouts that I'm gonna try out, plus I just saw a link for a Wonder Woman workout! My list of bonus workouts to try so far: Candace Lowry from BuzzFeed's Workout "Anyone" Can Do Michelle Khare from BuzzFeed Does a Celebrity Ab Workout - my sister challenge (I do fitness challenges with my sisters and sisters-in-law) is focusing on abs in June so I figured this might be a cool supplementary thing to do. Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman Workout! This one requires a gym but WONDER WOMAN.

Ugh you guys are the best I can't even take it!

You're right. I've been thinking about it a lot and for one thing, my squats over the course of May DID bring a lot of benefits, and I consider those to be the reward/motivation. Besides a general sense of feeling a bit stronger, some things have changed. The way I pick stuff up off the ground, the way I stand up from a chair or my bed, etc. I say in my initial post of this thread that the gains were minimal, but I'm not sure if that's accurate anymore.

Ok, goals drastically modified. Here's a chart for what I plan on doing this month: For crunches, hip raises, leg raises, squats, and counter pushups the number indicates how many I will do. For planks, the number indicates the seconds. For shovelglove, the number indicates the circuits or scenarios. For back, the number indicates how many different moves to try out. I will be going by this video for starters. I will probably do 10-20, or maybe I'll go by seconds? I don't know, it'll be experimental.

Nah it's not Thor. He was safe at home while I was a general in my city's nerd parade! The stormtrooper is just a friend who was also in the parade. I walked about 12k steps yesterday, about 8 km. When I looked at my pedometer I was a little surprised because it didn't feel like that much and I feel like I didn't exert myself as much as I did on my recent short hike. The night before the parade my back hurt so much I was having trouble falling asleep but during the parade itself there was no discomfort at all, let alone pain! My back is a mystery to me.

This was my day, y'all!

Yep, that's me! And yeah, maybe I'll change my goals up entirely... sigh.
