Monthly Measures #4

I totally jinxed myself by prematurely buying the new charm for my bracelet and now I've hit a plateau. Ugh. But for this month's post I'm talking about a couple new things I'm doing to mix things up.

I'm doing a 30 day squat challenge, which I guess is all over Pinterest, but I first heard about it through Nicole (who is also the brains behind Monthly Measures). So far, so good, but it's only day 6.




I also recently downloaded the Daily Workouts app to my iPhone. There is a free version, which I started with, but then I sprung for the $3.99 to get the full version. You can focus on an area or do cardio or a full workout and you specify for how long you want to work out. Then a video starts which shows you the exercise and then tells you when to switch to the next one. There are also in-app add-ons you can purchase, like kettle bell workouts or stretches or Pilates (I haven't done any of those yet).




I really want to step it up a notch this next month. We leave for Europe in 32 days!

  2. You're going to Europe??? So jealous....

    And by the way, the last time I saw you, I was thinking "boy, she looks great. I wonder how much weight she's lost?" So you may feel like you've hit a plateau, but it's already paying off.

    Not that you weren't stunning before. ;)
