In my monthly effort to shake things up, this month is my BODYlicious workout month.  It’s no accident that I chose an ab and butt centered workout, although looking back I wish I’d chosen it for July and/or August instead.

Really, what pushed me to do it this month was the fear of appearing in public in a bathing suit… which will happen sometime next week and will, it follows, be totally unaffected by my efforts.  All the same, I’m excited to see the difference at the end of the month.  I didn’t take before pics, but I did take measurements so I’m hoping to see a difference there.  In fact, I’ve declared it Stomach Shredder September in my iChange 1 Month Challenge group!

I’m also doing the 100 pushups and 200 situps challenges (links on the sidebar) and enjoying the progress I’m seeing there.  Although I do have days where it’s really tough for me (yesterday, the pushups felt impossible) I can definitely see progress already, and I’m thinking of doing the squats challenge along with the second round of the pushups challenge when I’m done.  Since the current pushups are of the knees-down variety, I’ll be repeating things with (hopefully) no modifications.

Today is a whirlwind of cleaning and packing and working, so I’m off to cross more things off of my to-do/to-pack/to-clean/to-remember lists.
