Last weekend, Amy and I were trying on dresses (wedding and bridesmaids, respectively). We were both lamenting the extra weight around our middle and decided we needed to do something before the wedding. I had a flash of inspiration. We are addicted to playing nertz and play almost every night. I suggested that every round, whoever has the higher score, we have to do that many crunches before we can play another round. It’s only been a few days, but so far the motivation seems to be working. I admit that, at some point, we have to just keep track and pledge to do that many before the next time we play, but we are doing them. Today, I did 220. I have another 200 to do before we play again. I don’t think I’ve ever had such successful motivation.
Okay, now I’m jealous! 🙂 That’s an awesome motivation for those crunches – wish I had someone to play nertz and crunch with! I found your blog through Lendy’s page. This is fun. I just love getting a glimpse into the new lives of old friends.
