Bender Ab Challenge and Food Log Day 3
Hi Everyone!
The video above is Jesse's ab challenge. The exercises using the dip station were from his ab challenge yesterday, and the bicycle and cheek to cheek plank were from his workout today. He also added to the challenge by doing all of the ab moves from my workout tonight. That one is still uploading, but I will share the link when it's ready.
Today is day 3 of my no sweets challenge. It was a lot harder today because we had a birthday party at work! That meant someone brought in a giant cookie cake, and chocolate thumbprint cookies. We also had all kinds of dips (which I did partake in) and I brought the salad. I tend to bring something healthy to all events so that everyone has options. Also, even when you are indulging it's good to fill yourself up with a something healthy so you don't over do it on the unhealthy items.
So here is my food log, and today's workout will be posted as soon as it's done uploading!
