I just completed Day 15 of a 30 Day Squat Challenge.
Oh, boy. This is going to kick my butt. Literally.
Today was 140 squats. On Day 30 I'll be doing 250 (ha ha!). I've said that I don't particularly like traditional exercise, but I was challenged to do this by one of my best friends, and I couldn't resist.
It's not so bad. I finish breakfast, and then I start doing them while catching a few minutes of the Today Show. Going upstairs to get the kids and back down is no easy feat after these squats, but I do like that when I exercise first thing in the morning, I feel the effects for the rest of the day. It feels good.
It never hurts to step outside the box. That's what I told myself when I ran for school committee two years ago, and when I inquired about a small part-time job this week. How will I know how far I can go unless I keep stretching myself to do things that I normally wouldn't?
As the Eleanor Roosevelt magnet on my fridge reminds me: "Do one thing every day that scares you".
I will try my best, Eleanor.
