Squat Challenge

Today marks day 25 of the squat challenge. Whew! 220 today! That's a lot of squats. I have noticed a difference also! Pretty stoked! :) But damn 220 is a lot to do after a rest day. But thank goodness for rest day! 

The first question everyone keeps asking.... "Do you do them all at once?" HELL NO! Haha! Y'all remember I'm not in shape at all right? This is a whole new thing for me... Getting fit and working out. I break them up throughout the day. Usually I'm sets of 10 when I go to the restroom. Which is a lot of visits since I'm drinking a lot of water. (I'm also wearing heels too!) When I'm home I do sets of 20 or 30. I'm usually trying get them over with because there are so many it seems like a chore! Haha! I really like doing them but damn once you get above 150 and realize you have a lot more waiting it seems like a million squats. Day 25... Seemed impossible 25 days ago... I kept thinking.. Holy crap.. How in the hell am I going to do 250 squats?

 I'm proud to say I haven't skipped a day or slacked off once. I've wanted to yes... But I haven't. The old Meg would have but she's gone. I'm accountable for my actions and have people joining me on this journey. 

For everyone who has started the squat challenge with me keep it up!! Don't skip a day or slack off. Also don't over do it!!! I promise you'll be fine if you stick with the original challenge! Most of you all starting the squat challenge really haven't been very active lately or super fit and not in shape. Newbies like me!! :) 

Please and Thank You!

I would like to start off by yelling really loud... THANKS Y'ALL!!!!! ;) Thank you for keeping me motivated and please keep the support coming! I've received emails, texts, fb messages ect... All from people that encourage me to keep up the hard work! Wow! I'm not even going to lie... I get the warm fuzzies inside!! People saying that because of little ole me they're changing their life style too... Buying the Magic Bullet...Starting the smoothies... Squatting!! #Squatsquad No pressure to keep up the hard work... Lol! Because of the encouragement I look forward to each day of this journey I'm taking and super pumped to have a little MeggyThree3 army along with me! Makes me tear up a little! :) 

I have always needed an accountability partner... Someone to keep me on track and make sure I didn't slip away when things got tough. Not someone to boss me around either or make me feel bad about my decisions. Someone to encourage me to keep going!

 That someone is you all! 

I'm stretching my arms out far giving everyone a huge hug!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! 

I have opened my journey to the public... So I can't let anyone down! The main person is ME!! I'm not letting myself down! 

I'm getting healthy and fit NOT SKINNY! 

So... Please keep the encouragement coming and Thank You for supporting me on this journey!

XOXO,

Meg

Out with the old...

As I rolled out of bed this morning I thought about how much I love sleep and a nice cozy warm bed. I'd rather stay snuggled with the pups and fella than crawl out from under the covers. Then I realized that's the old Meg... The new me wakes up and starts the morning off with 10 wake up squats! Good Morning Squats! And then it hits me... Today is Monday! Why do we dread Mondays so much??? Start of the week I guess... First day back at work for many people and first day back for me after 3 days off. 

I had a very busy weekend! Friday I was sick as a dog, and not sure what happened or why I was sick. Saturday I had a nice trip to Nashville for a wedding. I was one of the photographers and it was beautiful! Sunday I snuggled with the fella and had a lazy morning since he was going on night shifts. After he left for work I went to me sweet grandparents to visit and make weekly smoothies for my Granny! Pop and I went to the store to get weekly prep food for me since I'm starting to get even more strict by eating very clean. Food stocked up and ready for the week!

I have a confession... I had a Reese's Cup on Saturday night... Whamp whamp whamp.... I felt horrible after eating it too! It wasn't something I really wanted but ate it anyways. Lesson learned... No need to waste calories or my awesome routine for one damn Reese's Cup!  After beating myself up over eating it I got over it. I've been doing really really well and a little sweet treat did not ruin anything. Will I eat one again... No probably not! Before I'd eat 2 or 3 of them and drink a Coke to wash it down! That was the OLD ME.... 

Squats Day 3!

Yeah... I'm sore! Today is Monday which means back to work for me and heels! I had to give my thighs a prep talk this morning before putting on these peep toe pumps! Legs don't fail me now!!! Walking around the funeral home I know I look like someone who has never walked in heels before... Wobble wobble! But being the bad ass that I am I busted out 10 squats in the bathroom with my heels on! Oh snap! Watch out booty! 20 squats finished for the day... 40 more to go!! 

I'm so excited to feel the burn and feel the love and support from everyone joining the #squatsquad challenge! Day 3 is here and tomorrow is REST DAY!!! 

Keep up the good work and keep squatting!
