I'm not in the ab challenge but i have been gyming for a few years now and i think making sure your shoulders are off the ground and doing more of a crunch with a 3 second hold will give you a better strength build up. Good luck :)

I've been doing crunches and really thinking about the muscles I'm using. I also do incline/decline crunch/leg lifts. It also adds difficulty.

Definitely, never beat yourself up whatever you do because it's not productive! Only devise what you're doing to do from there on :). Looks like everything is going well ;) Wow 3 languages at once! But if there's a time to learn a language, that is definitely the best time! :)
Regarding the crunches, I pin my feet beneath a conveniently placed furniture and I lift my upper body till it's practically vertical, but I do it very slowly :) I'm curious about that Dish exercise. I think I will also be trying it at least once just to see how it feels like. I might even incorporate it in my ab routine, in the split weight training :)
heheh! Definitely! If you're going to binge on something, nuts and other healthy foods are definitely the way to go! You should feel good about that! :)

And I don't think that qualifies as "binging" but anyway heheh.
