That would have been the Planck challenge - next galaxy over.

:D

day 9: 60 seconds. check. just.

Today (day 10) tried in the sauna after swimming a mile. a little over-optimistic apparently. will try again tonight.

Day 1 20 sec done

As soon as I get out of this hot tub, I will complete my 30-second plank. Count on it. ;)

I could tell those extra ten seconds were there.

But then again, my belly is almost touching the floor, and I have something going on in my left shoulder. No extra pain, though, so Ima stay with it.

30 secs for day four.

Tease.

Aaaand ... I forgot about my 30-second plank.
I blame it on chemo-brain.

Tonight I'll do it before the hot tub. :D

3 day 30 sec done. While chewing a sandwich. Is that poor form?

days 10 and 11 a wash. yes I know today isn't over, but I know no plank is happening. two days of swim championships make the drinking start early :D

Damn. I suspect no plank will be happening today. For some reason, dinner is not sitting well. I never get queasy ... no idea where this is coming from, but will not risk tipping over the edge by tensing all my core muscles. :(

If you have sex, you should be able to count that as a couple days planks right?

hahaha...I just read this thread. I have to admit, I have been slack about my planking, partly because I've been busy LOSING 4KG IN less than TWO WEEKS! Anyway, more on that later.

I did the first week and was keeping up with the program, and have been kicking myself for not continuing, but it's been a madhouse. Mostly I just need to remember to do it before I put my feet up for the night.

I'm going to start at the beginning again from tomorrow. :)

Wow, Ali! Don't forget to tell us more about losing 4 kg in less than 2 weeks. What program are you on?

It's called hcg, but I think it's more that my calorie intake is only 600/day. I have been eating a lot of salad. lol. I have also been making a lot of Asian style broths with those slender noodles to bulk up my dinner time meals. The hcg (which is apparently from African mango) is supposed to keep the metabolism from slowing down on a calorie restricted diet. So anyway, it's going well, and if I keep planking, my core strength will be such that with a bit more weight loss, I will be ready to do some worthwhile exercise.
