Race to a million you must be wondering what I am talking about, a race to a million sit ups. Who would do that....ME and my husband (who let us be honest must think I am crazy). First let me say hello, my name is Andrea and my husband is Merv. As we are both a little on the "cheerfully chubby" side we were talking about exercise one day and I asked Merv how long would it take to get to a million situps if we did 100 per day, he said 10,000 days or 23 years...REALLY I don't have 23 years to get fit, we have 2 kiddos D.D. (aka destructive daredevil) who is a 2year old girl who knows what she wants and Little Man who is 12 weeks and is quite quiet in comparison to his sister. I need energy - which I don't always have and a lot of patience which I continually pray for. So I then asked "what about 1,000 situps a day ?" which turns out to be 1,000 days or just under 3 years. I challenged Merv at that point and said lets race to a million - we both need it and so he said sure! So here it is we are going to weigh, measure (ourselves) no need to get anybody else in this and it will be on the honour code - no cheating, we will race to a million. I think it will only be fair to give numbers as unhappy about them as we are and that way everyone will know how far we will have come from our start. We have yet to weigh and measure ourselves and I think it fair we do it together from one point to the end so look for our future post (and possibly pictures if I can manage to figure it out). Our terms are not yet set for what the "winner" will get and as I think at the end we will both be winners with a healthier body and hopefully lifestyle it will have to be something we both enjoy. So with that being said look forward to a future post with and exciting yet scary start to the next "3" years!!
