If you've come to the site in March, April or May, you may have gotten the idea that I'd given up, failed or forgotten about this site or even losing weight entirely. Fortunately, nothing is further from the truth. I've continued to not only lose weight, but I've kept careful track of my daily progress, knowing that I'd get back to updating the site again. What I didn't take into account is that I would get quite so backlogged, so until I'm caught up, I'm going to post a week's worth of updates every day with minimal blogging. I've made notes every now and then to record milestones, comment on changes to my plan, or just random thoughts. I'll summarize those with links to each post as I play catchup.
Meant to post this on March 8 (Day 55), but since I'm actually posting these just a few minutes apart now is as good a time as any. I picked up a swiss ball a few days ago to improve my crunches and wow has it made a big difference. Doing crunches on a big inflatable ball is not only more comfortable, but it also allows more movement and tension on the abdominal muscles as a result. Additionally, because it's an inherently unstable platform (instead of worrying about rolling back and forth, you also have to worry about rolling side to side), your obliques get a bit of workout too. Not much, they're really only stabilizing, but it makes a huge difference in practice.
Having done crunches on one of these I can't imagine going back to doing them on the ground again. Or rather, I can, but only because I have no access to a swiss ball because of travel or some other reason.
