Plank Challenge Begun

Jill, you are my hero!  I started the plank routine today and didn't do 5 sets... as a matter of fact, I didn't even finish 2 sets!

With about 20 to 30 second rest between them, I did

• High plank - 60 seconds
• Forearm plank - 45 seconds
• Side planks - 20 seconds each (the right one is way harder??)
• High plank - 45 seconds
• Forearm plank - 45 seconds

Then I pretty much collapsed on the floor.

Thanks to Vanessa and Julia for the suggestions about my strawberries...  For breakfast today I talked The Captain into having fresh berries on his toast and PB instead of jam.

And I had mine with Nutella and strawberries and got so excited about eating it that I forgot to take a picture!

And that spurred my memory to look up a recipe that a buddy of mine gave me a couple of years ago, where you marinate strawberries in a mixture of balsamic vinegar, black pepper, and brown sugar... then top with vanilla yogurt.  We had this for dessert tonight... mmmmm. 

And then I remembered that last year we grilled strawberries on the BBQ and they were wonderful too. Particularly tasty with grilled pork tenderloin. 

I think I will get The Captain to buy some more tomorrow while I am at my Weight Watchers meeting.

A late afternoon walk to the library to pick up the last 2 issues of Runners World, about 40 minutes, topped off the afternoon.

I think my abs are more sore than they have ever been.
