My total inches lost = 1.75 inches.

I have not done measurements in about 45 days but I was the same measurements when I started the plank position every day and this was only EIGHT days ago so this loss is really in 8 days and not 45 from my last measurements.
The PLANK is helping with my stomach, thighs and arms and this makes total sense as this works about every muscle in your body. I am going to keep doing this.

I am up to 150 seconds of holding this at one time. It hurts by then but I need it to hurt for awhile so I know it is working. I go up at a few seconds every day; even if I feel like I want to drop I keep going until I am over at least 2-3 seconds over from the day before. It will only get easier and the longer I can do it the more calories I burn.

CARDIO-still not forgetting this! I sometimes jog for 20 minutes in front of the TV and hold my 5 lb dumbbells, but yesterday I put up Halloween decorations for 2 hours, the day before I mopped the floor (without a mop) and I counted those as cardio and I could feel it later so I know it was working.
