Open Challenge Goals
Goal 1: Weight Loss of 43lbs (218 to 175) - Last month I was at 210. This month I am at 197. A loss of 13 lbs this month, 21 lbs total. Twenty-two pounds left to reach Open Challenge Goal. (195 has always been a sticking point for me so I am going to have to refocus myself!!!)

Goal 2: Losing 2 dress sizes (18 to 14) - Last month I was still in an 18. This month I am comfortably in a 16 and can wear a few 14s. I may try to reach a 12 by the end of the challenge. I haven't been in a 14 since well before my first son was born and I am not sure I was ever in a 12! (I think I jumped straight from a 10 to a 14 right after highschool.)

Goal 3: Compliance - HIIT twice a week and SS cardio three times a week - Last month my compliance was 75%. This month I had an unscheduled week off when I got my tattoo. If we count that week then I am at 75%, if not I am at 100%. (For those that didn't see it, it was not a little tattoo! LOL)

Goal 4: Perform 10 pushups. (0 to 10) - Push-ups - Last month I could not do any regular push-ups. This month I am able to do 4 in a row and 12 spread out in sets. I have restarted the 100 push-ups program with the new layout and doing regular push-ups. I am progressing slower than I should because I am taking 2 rest days in between each workout because the regualr push-ups are harder on my back. So far, 2 rest days has really helped and I am finding my back is less and less fatigued each time.
