A Plus Attitudes

Two of my friends on Facebook decided to take the 28 Day Plank Challenge, so I joined in with them. I’m on day 15 – 90 seconds. I think they both gave up. I decided to do it since the investment of time is minimal and being a women of menopausal age, our middle tends to thicken which is not only bad for one’s health, but I personally don’t want a thicker middle.

I posted a couple of pictures that I took yesterday. I think it is working. I will be up front, I’ve always had a relatively flat belly, but I’ve been feeling a little soft there lately as I make my way more fully into the menopause stage.

I know they’re pretty silly pictures, but I like to have fun and silly is part of my character.

Here are the benefits of the challenge:

• Tones your stomach
• Promotes good posture
• Increases flexibility
