I Did 200 Crunches A Day For One Week

Here's what happened.

I don't know about you, but the idea of having abs or at least a toned stomach has been a desire I've had for quite a long time. I cannot tell you how many times I have scrolled through Pinterest looking at inspiration photos, transformation photos, and workout challenges without actually acting on anything.

The other day, I came across the 200 Crunches a Day for One Week Challenge on Youtube and found it super intriguing. It sounded simple enough, doing 200 ab crunches each day (preferably in one session) for one week straight.

Some of the women whose videos I watched achieved pretty dramatic results. I thought, "I can do that. That doesn't sound too bad."

So, I figured why not try it out?

I sit here now feeling disappointed. I don't see much of a difference in the definition of my stomach at all. I guess I shouldn't have expected a visible difference because it seemed too good to be true, but I thought just maybe it would work.

Well, as you can see there is little to no difference in my abdomen sadly. It works for some people so I'm glad that I at least gave it a shot and stuck to it. Now, I'm just going to continue doing ab exercises several nights a week and see if over time I see any progress.

Even though it wasn't the dramatic change I was hoping for, I am proud of myself for doing the 200 Crunches a Day for One Week Challenge and encourage anyone who is curious to try it out!

Progress takes time and lots of effort but anyone can achieve their fitness goals if they are dedicated enough. Believe in yourself and work hard, and sure enough, you will see improvement!

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
