Shameless Brag

Nothing like being an absent blogger and then picking back up with a shameless brag, huh?!  And I wish I could say that the reason for my absence is because of what I'm going to brag about but, alas, that is not the case.

During the month of April, I, along with my Dear Husband and, at times, my Dear Son, did two different exercise challenges put out by The Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans: Fab-Abs January and Oh My Thighs! April.  During the month of April, I did:

1,175 sit-ups
   495 push-ups
     29 minutes of plank 
     24 minutes of wall sit minus the kick
   760 leg circles
   464 squat knees (which I just realized we didn't do quite right but it's all good!)

Unlike my friend Jen, I didn't lose six pounds and one pant size but I certainly firmed up some tummy flab and started myself on a strength training regime that I never would have without the Sisterhood helping me along.  And, for the record, I do have some shadows near my ribs which might, in fact, be my abs!

Shrinking Jeans has put out a different work out for each month and you can find those here if you are interested.

Next week, The Life of Pi and I don't mean apple.
