Ab Challenge.. Who's In?

Good morning ladies!
There is a good amount in this blog so please read it through... especially about the ab challenge I want to set up!.

This morning I WI and took measurements (which I haven't taken since May).  My measurements went up since then :( But I'm going to take that realization and make it motivation.  In mid October the BF and I will sign up at the YMCA.  I went up a pound and a half since my last WI.  I know muscle weighs more then fat so it could be muscle from the walking... only time will tell.

On another note....
Last night I made a 300 calorie dinner for under 4 dollars!  Check this out... We got some gordons blackend cajuan tilapia which was only 100 calories, and we made rice which was about 200 calories a serving.  The package of fish was only 3 bucks and the rice was $1 a box.. wooohooo eating good at a low budget.  For desert I had about a half cup of low fat cottage cheese.

Tonight I have volleyball so day 9 cardio.. completed

I was thinking about creating a challenge for the whole month of October if anyone is willing to be up for it. 

It's an ab challenge.  I'm choosing Ab;s cuz crunches is the easiest thing to do at home yet I am never motivated to do them.

So the challenge will go like this if any one wants in.....
~Monday through Friday work outs.  Giving everyone Sat and sun to rest.
~October 2nd - Oct 10th...  - 25 crunches a day.
~Oct 13 - Oct 17... - 50 crunches a day.
~Oct 20 - Oct 24... - 75 crunches a day.
~Oct 27 - Oct 31... - 100 crunches a day.

Each week of the challenge we will bump up the crunches another 25.  You don't have to do them all at once.  25 in the morning.. 25 at night.. which ever you perfer
The goal of this challenge is to get us in the habit of doing a simple excercise at home that's free, and doing it daily.

SOooooooooo if you want in.. let me know.  We'll only let 10 people in like MissyBelle's cardio challenge  so we don't get over whelmed.  Post daily on each others blogs and motivate each other.

EDIT!

So far we have :

Hi there

Yes, you can count me in too!  I have to start them tomorrow though because I'm done with working out and I'm just really to tired today to do anything more.

I loved the Jillian story you told me in my blog!!!  Good work on the laps around the park, and for not giving into a short cut!!

Maybe we should also add elbow to knee's  to also work our obliques?  If we are going to work our core lets do them too!  What do you think?

Me please!!!

Ugh - Can I join?

I hate crunches and avoid doing them even though I know I should.  Maybe this would get me going.

As always...

I want in...The more challenges the better. It keeps me motivated to at least keep moving even if my eating is not perfect. Plus, my gut is one of my biggest problem areas.

Praying

I always pray for the things I'm thankful.  However, I haven't really prayed about releasing this animosity towards the guy who hit me. 

Sounds like you will be making October a great month! 

I'm in!

I'll definitely participate in the challenge so count me in!

Crunches

I am so impressed with you for your eating within your calories and how cheap you are eating!  Also, your exercise habits are excellent!  I think it's great you are doing the ab challenge.  I'm not in this one though.  I'm not sure I know what a crunch is!  LOL!  I think I have an idea and I haven't done one in years.  I'll try a few tomorrow and see if I can move the next day!  Good for you ab challengers!
