I'm now almost 8 months PP and ironically, have about 8 more pounds to lose.

Getting to the gym is a challenge. It's not impossible. But it's tough. The hubs works and stays out of town from Monday to Friday. My mom watches D for me as often as she can so I can get to the gym but when she's not available, I am housebound.

A friend of mine recommended that I check out the 200 Training Program. Anyone who knows me knows that i'm not usually a fan of at-home workouts or trendy training programs. But now that i'm housebound more often than not and getting to the gym isn't always possible, i'm willing to try anything ;)

Here's the gist of the program: for 6 weeks, 3 times each week you follow the 200 squats, and sit-ups regime. The program helps you to build your strength gradually and by the end of the 6th week you will be doing 200 consecutive squats and sit-ups. Really?

I'm 4 weeks in and keeping up with the program. I like that it doesn't require any other equipment or tools besides your own body weight. And it doesn't take long to get through each session.

This week I also added the 100 Push-Ups Program to my regime. I'm lucky if I can string together 20 push-ups on a good day so this one will definitely be a challenge for me.

Wish me luck!
