Abs Challenge Day 23 (3/23/14)

Can it be over? Please? Please? please? Please. I am at the end of the end of what my body will take. Before this, I was floating on an endorphin covered cloud, amazed at the things my body could accomplish over such a short amount of time. And now, I feel like I am drowning in lactic acid, unable to even lift a finger to help myself accomplish my goals. I heaved and sighed and struggled and even thought about not doing the challenge today. I even whined and cried a little to myself about how exhausted my body and mind and spirit are. There is a lot happening in my life, and I can't describe how I struggled today. But I am making it through day by day. 

So today, I was required by the fitness overlords to do:

100 sit ups
150 crunches
58 leg raises
90 sec plank

I broke down the wretched and horrible work into these sets:

10 sit ups
15 crunches
6 leg raises
10 sec break

10 sit ups
15 crunches
6 leg raises
10 sec break

10 sit ups

6 leg raises
10 sec break

10 sit ups

10 sit ups
15 crunches
6 leg raises
10 sec break

10 sit ups
15 crunches
6 leg raises
10 sec break

10 sit ups
15 crunches
6 leg raises
10 sec break

10 sit ups
15 crunches
4 leg raises
10 sec break

90 sec plank

And now, I can sleep, because right now, that is the only thing I want from life. 

Warm wishes.
