The Bush's Baked Beans are 1 POUND not 1 OUNCE. Geez. I'm not that wimpy! (Or was that a mental-pause moment?) lol! 2. I did the 100 squats with only my massive body weight, no hand weights yet. So, you are the weiner on the squat challenge! ((hugs)) to Arika & my Mama! Uhhh… a few things to clear up here. :)

Way to go for doing the 100 squats even if it was without weights...work your way up. Remember, it's not a contest with anyone but yourself. Besides, you'll have 3 more weeks to work up to weights. Each time just push yourself a little further than the last and you'll make and see improvement. Nope – Slacker no more! :)

Can't call ya slacker anymore! ;) Ah, a little good natured ribbin' is fun, eh? But, yikes!!! You did 100 squats WITH 10 lbs of weight?! I say that is incredibly challenging! I have to 'fess up that I didn't use any weight, as I was a bit nervous about what the squats would do to my lower back. I REALLY REALLY wanted to do all 100 along with Scott and I achieved that goal. :D So, this week I'm adding weight - NOT 10 lbs, but something. Perhaps I'll use Nicole's Bush's Baked Bean cans since she's graduated to free weights now! The stinker went from two 1.12 ounce cans to two 8 lb weights! I'll never catch up... :o Anyway, back to work now that I've been re-energized with today's Fat Loss Quickie. ;) L8R! Hey there Arika!

Thanks for the tip on the knees too because I've always thought maybe I wasn't doing squats correctly or something bc they hurt. Signed, The Slacker Aww thanks Scott!

See, you were never off track. You're still motoring along. Nice to see you adding some resistance to the squats with 10 pound dumbbells. It's not an easy feat without dumbbells so give yourself a nice pat on the back. If your knees ever do end up bothering you when doing squats, you could always lean up against a ball on the wall and do your squats that way. I demonstrate that exercise here... http://fatlossquickie.com/blog/30-day-home-office-fitness-challenge-day-21-bad-knees/ Keep up the great work 'slacker' ;) ...and thanks for allowing me to be a part of your successful journey to improved fitness, business, and quality of life.
