Challenges!

So a friend of mine on MFP just sent me her daily workout routine. It was INSANE. She said she's only been doing it for 5 days, along with eating healthy, and I can see abs and a thigh gap on her!
Anyway, her workout consisted of 3 challenges and a mini-circuit, and she does all the challenges three times! Told you it was insane! She did the 30 day crunch challenge, 30 day squat challenge, 30 day push-up challenge and then the mini circuit, every day. You can just google all the challenges, but the circuit is at the end of this post.
I was contemplating doing what she did, but I'm afraid it may be too much for me to handle all at once, in addition to my As Long As You Can Challenge.
Oh, and there's also the 30 day Abs Challenge, which looks pretty doable too...so that's another option!
The squat challenge starts off with 50 squats...that's an awful lot of squats...should I do the crunch or squat challenge?! Aargh...I'll decide later I guess. Right, off to workout now! For the first time in months! So happy...

Far Out Brussel Sprout!

Well...I overate. I hate the word binge, so I overate. By 2827 calories. That's basically a pound of fat... Um...yeah...I'm never hitting the "complete this entry" button for today...
And why? Because I just found out after school that I had a history essay due tomorrow!!! I had it in my planner for the day after tomorrow, so my brain began moving into panic mode and I ate my stress. I also pulled an all-nighter finishing my plan. And then I was late to school, but I'm getting extra time, yay.
Anyway, I was going to try fasting for the next two days and a bit, but...my mum doesn't approve of my fat loss goals and will keep pressuring me to eat...which means I'd have to purposely fake madness at her, which I can't. And there's all these food temptations lying around the house!!! So since I can't fast completely, I decided I'd just do this: daily calorie goal (DCG)-100 calories, for as long as it takes for me to rid mys body of the excess calories. So tomorrow, my original goal of 1410 is now 1310. And this goes on for 29 days. I can do this, right?!
Once I did a three day fast to balance out an excess of about 3000 calories, but I had to be so isolated and withdrawn from my family...I could just see the hurt and confusion in them! Another time I did a 2 day fast, but that was easier because my mum was away for a bit so she wasn't there to look over my eating. It's really hard to do this without family support though.

So yeah. DCG-100=next 29 days. Should be fun fun!
