Because of this, I decided to start with something small, such as this squat challenge I referred to in the last post. I am notorious for starting some plan and then dropping it but I am hoping to begin with this challenge and put that terrible habit to rest.
Today was day three of the challenge and I hate to even admit this...but, I am a little sore. Pathetic, right? My hamstrings are super tight and it hurt to even stretch out but I did and they are feeling a little better.
I was going to run tonight but instead I knew if I told my mom I was going to do interval runs, she would join me. It was a way for us to get active together and I know that helps us both.
Brandon is out on a job and is also doing an awesome job at sticking with the squat challenge. I had no doubts about that because he is a lot better at working out than I am. I actually just made him a new schedule with the dates since the one provided on the link in my previous post just said day one, day two, etc. This way he can keep up with it without wondering what he did yesterday or what day he is on.
I am going to search for more challenges like this so maybe we can continue doing this sort of thing together. It really is a lot more fun to work out with a friend, significant other, sibling, even a pet! We love taking our 11 month old lab on walks with us. We have even attempted running with him. It was an epic fail because he has such a competitive nature about him. He ALWAYS has to be first which means he speeds up a lot more when you start to run. Luckily, Brandon holds the leash most of the time. :)

At one point we (me and B) talked about doing the Beachbody Ultimate Reset together. I think that is still something I want to do but for now I am working on small goals. He has done the Advocare 24 day challenge but I just don't know if I like the way the program is set up. He took a TON of pills and I never could find anything that came with the challenge that said what was in the pills. I also tried one of his Spark drinks, which is an energy boosting type of drink, and didn't feel a thing. Maybe it is just me because there are people out there who swear by that stuff. Brandon did get results from this challenge and I never heard him complain about any of it. I am just a third party observer and have not attempted the challenge myself. But for those of you out there who want to look into this challenge, I know a couple bloggers who can give you much better advice than I. Check out Mama Laughlin and Skinny Meg. These ladies are hilarious and have amazing stories. They have each done at least one Advocare challenge.
The Reset might be a good way to start the new year! Almost a kick start (or kick in the butt) after all of the holiday festivities. But me and B will work out when we want to do that together. I want it to work with his schedule since his work schedule is so odd. Mine is much more flexible!
