Squat!!

Yesterday I started the 30 Day Squat Challenge that I found on Pinterest. It's funny... I was planning to start it at the beginning of May, but then yesterday I just decided to get out of my seat and do it.
You see, one of my biggest problems with getting into shape has always been putting it off. "I'm going to start on Monday", or "I'm going to start that next month". Part of it is my OCD of beginning things at the start of a week/month/year, but mostly it's just my way of putting shit off until tomorrow (and then some). After all, why put off until tomorrow what you can avoid doing entirely?

But not this, not now. I am 2 days into the 30 day squat challenge, and by God I will see it through. And it goes a little something like this:
Day 1 - 50 squats               Day 16 - Rest
Day 2 - 55 squats               Day 17 - 150 squats
Day 3 - 60 squats               Day 18 - 155 squats
Day 4 - Rest                       Day 19 - 160 squats
Day 5 - 70 squats               Day 20 - Rest
Day 6 - 75 squats               Day 21 - 180 squats
Day 7 - 80 squats               Day 22 - 185 squats
Day 8 - Rest                       Day 23 - 190 squats
Day 9 - 100 squats             Day 24 - Rest
Day 10 - 105 squats           Day 25 - 220 squats
Day 11 - 110 squats           Day 26 - 225 squats
Day 12 - Rest                     Day 27 - 230 squats
Day 13 - 130 squats           Day 28 - Rest
Day 14 - 135 squats           Day 29 - 240 squats
Day 15 - 140 squats           Day 30 - 250 squats

As long as my left knee holds out, by May 5th I should have thighs and an ass way more suitable for the shorts-wearing season that will be rapidly approaching.
