Happy Friday! 
If you’re just stopping by and don’t know what the Fat Loss Quickie/Sexy Mama Abs workout is…you can head over here to catch up. The goal of FLQ is to create a healthier and wealthier home business owner without spending a ton of money (the entire program costs less than 20 bucks) and without taking a ton of time (as business owners and parents, we don’t HAVE tons of time to workout).
I’ve been having a blast with it and I think anyone who works from home should at least check it out. As WAHM & WAHD, it’s no secret that we let our health slide a lot, but if we begin putting our health as a priority, the wealth will come because we’ll be more focused on the business goals we’ve set for ourselves and won’t have to spend hours and hours working at the computer.
***Today’s Fat Loss Quickie/Sexy Mama Abs Update***
So, today Nicole wants to know “Who’s the Squattiest?” in her Computer Butt Challenge. To find out all about it and jump in (you’ve got until midnight tonight your time to get in if you aren’t already) click right here.
Every Friday of the Fat Loss Quickie Home Workout, we have to do 100 squats for the cardio portion of our daily exercise. That in itself is quite the feat. ;0) Leave it to Nicole to bump it up a notch and hold a contest on her blog to see who could do the most squats (thank goodness tomorrow is a day of rest!).
I’ve been doing my squats off and on all day long and I won’t lie…I’m freakin’ sore! But it’s awesome to see everyone pushing their limits. Absolutely Amazing! I LOVE it!
I stayed offline most of the day until a few hours ago, when I hopped on and saw that Patti, “The Mom”, who mind you is a 50-something spunky lady, was in the lead with 325 squats – yes you read that right THREE HUNDRED TWENTY FIVE!
When I first checked in a few hours ago I was up to 351 squats myself. Just before I sat down to write this post, I checked in again and realized another participant, Kevin “Mr. eBay” Johnson had blown right past me and was up to 435 squats. So, the competitive person I am did some more. I’m now up to 401 squats and plan to do more before hitting the sack tonight. Whether I’ll beat him I don’t know but I’m sure going to give him a run for his money!
I’ll report back with the results over the weekend. For now, I’m off to squat my heart out – speaking of hearts, I know mine is lovin’ me today with all this work.
Onward & Upward to Health & Wealth,

Yep amazingly they did survive! I ended up doing 501 – who’d a thunk?
Today however I think I hurt my shoulder doing the butterfly. We shall see what happens – not going to stop me just might have me not using weights for a few days.

Well, if you only hurt one shoulder — you can always lift with the other. Also… if the shoulder is feeling at all OK — go light it will help it heal faster.

Thanks Meredith.
Actually I do feel much better today. Guessing the rest I got last night helped the pain go away.

You Rock!… just in case I didn’t tell you yet. What a Squatter you turned out to be.
It’s amazing what a little determination and a lot of harassing will get ya, eh?
Good job Champion Squatter! This Friday’s squats will seem like a walk in the park.
Can’t wait for the next challenge!

Thanks Patti! You’re quite the Squatter yourself.
Yeah, you know I almost forgot I had that competitive spirit in me.
