Day 18 :heavy_check_mark: that 2:30 was pretty daunting but I did 45 seconds, then a minute, then the rest of the time

I broke 2 mins, but maxed out around 2:15. But I’m not giving up! My breakthrough will come! (she writes from the floor, unable to get up…) :orange_heart:

Day 20 finished. I worked my days back from the last rest day as I skipped these days. Now, I have to admit that indeeeeeeeeed it helps to do some increments :joy: but I feel some parallels to working : ohhhh, easy, looking at the timer :eyes::exploding_head: still 2 more mins or 7hrs to go. Time for coffee/hot chocolate.

Totally got to reset, an abrupt work schedule change, plus life and regular gym work has totally threw me off.

I’m betting I’m the only one too,

Day 20 :heavy_check_mark: Not ideally, but in the middle of the night again! Killer insomnia brings out killer planking. :flushed:

Day 20 done. I tried planking with straight arms today and it felt a bit different; I’m not sure if it improved my performance but it was nice to try! I did 2:30 punctuated with a few 2-3 second breaks in the last half :smile:

I decided today I’d use a song as my timer:

I am bowing out. In light of the recent development of needing shoulder surgery. I’ll try again next January. I’m happy to have made it this far.

You might need a friend to support you and bow out too, right? :joy:

Seriously, I hope your surgery goes well and you are new and improved in no time! :orange_heart:
