Well not much to tell about from yesterday. I went to Applebee's with my friend Tim as usual for Tuesday's dinner, I really dig their salad there. When I got home I had to do a few chores around the house and although I didn't go to the gym I did work on some things I would like to accomplish physically.
You know that thing where you hold your body up in a push up position with your fore-arms on the ground and then you try to suck in your stomach while you're holding your body straight?... Well I really suck at that... my whole body starts to tremble after about 30 seconds of that and I can't really seem to hold myself up for more then a minute before I have to let it drop and try again. I guess I'm not even too sure what parts of the body that excerise even helps strengthens but I imagine it helps a little all over because it's my whole body that trembles from it. I would really like to get to a point where I could hold that position for 5 or even 10 minutes. That seems really far off to me, but it's something I want to practice on a regular basis. '
I also did some squats last night, which by the way I hate... but my legs really need the help, and if I'm not on the elliptical for the night then the least I can do is some squats. I wish I was better at doing crunches and sit ups... my stomach is such a problem area for me, but crunches and sit ups hurt my back... there is this awesome machine at the gym that allows me to do the same excersize but with out the back pains, but I wish there was something I could do for my stomach on nights like last night when I'm just doing a few things at home... something I could throw into my routine every day to help get this beer belly down. Maybe I'll try to google it later.
Anyways, tonight I'm supposed to see Justin after work. I got up early so I could make my hair all pretty for him before work because I don't think I'll be going home before we meet up. We're gonna get some dinner together, some where in the half way point of where we live; because, I have to be home for the animals tonight, so unfortunately I can't just drive all the way over and spend the night. I'm really looking forward to seeing him though and showing him the necklace I made out of his guitar pic. :)
Well I hope everyone has a great day! <3
P.S. posted new picture :)

I believe your talking about the plank as well. Those are hard to get used to, I start shaking right away too lol I usually give up after 20 seconds or so cuz I can't stand the trembling. As for the sit ups and crunches, have you ever considered getting a machine to help you do them? My boyfriend bought me an Ab Rocket because I wanted to do sit ups at home but couldn't because it would destroy my back and sitting on the Ab Rocket actually helps a lot, no back pain, but if you use it right you get the same effects.
By the way I saw the picture of the necklace you made with the guitar pic, awesome job on that, it looks really pretty =)

yup plank! I can do it for 60 seconds now. I'd really like to do it for 2 minutes. It's for your core (abs and back) and if you ask me, it really works :) One of my favorite exercises.

Best ab workout for home was bicycle something or other just google it or watch it on youtube. I checked that out a long time ago for the same reason

For my abs I lay on the floor and lift my legs up and down but while keeping them straight. I never let them rest on the floor and I can do that about 25 times before my whole body is trembling. I like the planks too. My goal is to do a lot of push ups. I loved the look of lean, strong arms!
