Welcome to the sixth installment of the 2014 Monthly Challenges Recap, and quite possibly the last. I’ll explain towards the end of the post. As a reminder, my June goals were as follows: 1. 30 Day Arm Challenge: Results: So I started strong on this one, but eventually got bored, due in part to finding the first…
It’s that time again, mes amis. Time to throw it down and announce my monthly goals. Without further ado, I present you with my June challenges: 1. 30 Day Arm Challenge: Last month I squatted my heart out in the hopes of getting a Bombshell Bottom. It’s only fair that this month I put my focus on…
Welcome to the fifth installment of the 2014 Monthly Challenges Recap. And the second month in a row where I was unable to attain all the goals I set out for myself. Yay me! 😛 As a reminder, my May goals were as follows: 1. Run: Run at least 60 kms in May — with a stretch…
Welcome to the fourth installment of the 2014 Monthly Challenges Recap. And my first to have to admit to failure. Sigh. As you may recall from my correcting my bad form post [AKA the man-up-and-grow-a-pair post], I took the time to actually spell out the April goals that I planned to chase: My April 2014 goals: 1.

Maybe it was the lack of a concrete challenge on the horizon. Maybe it was the need to have a portable exercise…
Welcome to the second installment of the 2014 Monthly Challenges Recap! Challenge 1: Barre fitness classes The first challenge I took on in February was 5 sessions at Pure Barre Fitness. I had heard much about this fitness craze, based on the principles of ballet training, and how these 55 minute classes could truly transform your body. I…
It’s already February? When did that happen?? This can only mean one thing: It’s time for the first edition of the 2014 monthly challenges recap. Challenge 1: New Year juice cleanse The first challenge I took on in January was a one-week juice cleanse, which I wrote about here. I am especially proud of the fact…
I am way overdue in sharing my 2014 goals. Other than confirming that My Year of Sweat would live on [as a blog] into 2014, and that new goals would be set in the early part of the year, I didn’t get specific. I’m coy that way. Well, no, not really. True, I am a cheeky monkey,…
