A squat challenge

I haven't been as good as I should be, after my completion of Reboot...  My intention had been to then follow an 80/20 paleo eating plan, but I have fallen off the wagon a bit...  Still sticking to smaller portions, love that I don't need sugar in my tea... But need to be more strict with myself!

My gym routine has also not been as dedicated as it was during Reboot.  I think I've fallen into a bit of a comfort zone, happy with my Reboot results and now not so motivated to continue... I need to change this mindset!  I still have another 5kg or so to lose!

I came across a squat challenge, and thought I'd give it a try.  Yesterday was Day 1.  50 squats, how hard can it be, right?!  Can you say: jelly legs!!


Keen to give it a try, during Reboot I did quite a lot of leg press-ups at the gym, and used the stepper machine, and I could feel a difference in my glutes - in just a few weeks of not doing the same exercises, my bum already feels all flabby! :-( 

How cool it will be to emerge from winter with toned legs - let's get this started and keep with the program!

Awesome YouTube video on how to do the perfect squat, check it out. :-)

    Now come on Jess, don't let us down, keep it up. You know it takes 30 days to feel excellent and just 2 days to start feeling crap again.
    As for the 50 squats?????

    ROFLMAO - You must be kidding me? You did say 50 right, hahaha, you're soooooo funny

    LOL @jelly legs. That was the exact thought that went through my mind when I read that squat challenge. Still not sure if I want to try it or not.

    Don't worry, you will get it all back on track again, it is tough adjusting to winter (or is that just me?) if I wasn't on reboot I would have eaten all things for sure and you haven't even done anything close to that! So you see, not so bad :)
