100 Squats
Guess who successfully completed 100 squats in a row this morning?
This girl!
(And yes, I totally made that picture black and white to try and disguise the fact that I’m wearing the same shirt I wore yesterday. And now I totally sabotaged my efforts by telling you all about my trick. I swear I didn’t sweat at all much yesterday which equals a totally fresh and clean shirt in my book.)
Annnyway, back to my workout recap. Yes, I did 100 squats in a row because I am a beast!
I used 65 pounds worth of weights and squatted my little heart out. To be honest, it wasn’t insanely difficult (I probably need to increase my weights), but it was definitely challenging and got me nice and sweaty in the beginning of my lower-body workout.
After 20 minutes on the elliptical, I did the following leg workout:
- 100 squats
- One-legged leg press (<—I like this so much more than regular leg press!)
- Superset: Step ups + Deadlifts
- Lunges
- 60 second wall sit
- Exercise ball hamstring curls
Let’s hope I’m not as sore as I was last week. I seriously waddled around like a duck all day on Thursday and Friday.
Breakfast
Today’s breakfast was quite similar to the breakfasts I’ve been enjoying an awful lot lately.
Another egg sandwich with two fried eggs, jelly and muenster cheese, plus two chicken breakfast sausages on the side.
Can you tell that my odd English muffin habit wreaked havoc on the bottom half of my English muffin today?
Home Office Update
Stay tuned for the unveiling of my home office today!
Question of the Morning
- Do you have any current fitness, work or personal goals in place for yourself? Share!
My current fitness-related goal is to run the entire Savannah Rock ‘n’ Roll half marathon in the beginning of November. On a work-related note, I hope obtain some local freelance writing opportunities with local magazines and newspapers in my new hometown.
Congrats! That’s some tough stuff right thurr
I can’t wait to see the home office!

Julie, you are a self-Hitler! 100 squats- I am super impressed! Sixty had me sore the other day! One of my main goals for this year is to also get some freelance writing related to health & fitness under my belt in addition to my regular job!

I am hoping to break a 30:00 5k this year. I keep trying, but am starting to wonder if trying to PR a 5k while training for a half is too much to ask for. I think I may need to focus on one distance at a time.
Breakfast was trying out the new Cinnabon Cream of Wheat. Not terrible, but not great either. I want my old Cinnamon Swirl back.
Off to walk/run my 3 miles.

Your leg workout looks seriously awesome, and I’m vying to try it tomorrow morning when I go to the gym.
I have a laundry list of goals right now…
but I’m still being a super bum about not going.
Fitness: GET MY BOOTY TO THE GYM at least 3x a week, along with my every-other-day evening runs. I miss lifting
Work: Let. It. Go. For the last few months I’ve allowed a new coworker’s inability to do his job the right way affect my own personal happiness and satisfaction. I love my job, but I don’t love (or like at all, really) working with him, because he makes my job tougher by having to basically do his, or fix what he does wrong. After an awful week last week, it was finally the last straw, and I’ve decided to take back my happiness. Too long I’ve let his incompetence affect me personally. It shouldn’t be like that! So today begins a new mindset for me
Personal: Work on my time management!

I re-wear dirty work out clothes several times a week have no shame! C’mon it’s a rough economy out there, gotta save water and electric by cutting down the laundry

This is my first time commenting here but I just wanted to say ive been reading for a while and I really enjoy your blog alot!
100 squats is SUPER impressive. I feel crazy after doing about 50 of them and then of course the waddling after effects the next day…hahaha
I have a half marathon myself next weekend, so just finishing up training for that. I’d really like to get under 2:10 for this one. my last one was 2:14 but i was battling a stupid foot injury then. heres to hoping!
have a great monday!!

I did a class at the gym last week that was all 100′s, and it was BRUTAL. I was so sore (I actually STILL am) that I could barely walk for two days. LOVE the pain! Nice job on your 100 squats. Such a great feeling!

Wahoo!! 100 squats-way to go! I am off to teach BodyPUMP, and it sort of feels like we do 100 during the squat track….maybe I should count it out?

100 squats — that’s some serious dedication! That’s amazing.
I have set a fitness goal for myself to not stray from working out outside once it starts to get colder. I will lose all motivation if I’m shivering outside, but I know the payoff will be worth it. Here’s hoping I can stick to it!

Wow, awesome job with the 100 squats!! And aren’t 1-legged leg presses so great? I love how I can feel them working so much more than a regular leg press. And I’ve definitely worn my workout shirts two days in a row before- it’s not gross haha. My current fitness goal is to be able to complete the 10k I’m doing in a few weeks without it feeling too difficult…so right now I’m trying to do one run a week that’s longer than that distance! And a personal goal is to remember to take time for myself when my grad school schedule gets crazy and hectic! Hope you have a fantastic Monday

Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat
[Reply]
This might be a dumb question but how did you complete them and what exactly do you mean you used 65 lbs worth of weights? Are you squatting using a bar, simply your body weight, holding dumbbells? I do tons of variations of squats and I guess this is why I’m confused which kind/how you did it!

My goal is to take some time off of my half marathon PR when I run my next race in November. As long as it’s faster, I don’t care how much!
I’m also trying to get my multiple dessert habit under control. I keep eating 2-3 portions of dessert every night and it makes me feel really crummy, but for some reason I can’t stop. What IS that?!?

Great job on 100 squats!
I am currently getting ready for a Halloween 10k next month. It will be my first.
Yesterday I actually ran/ walked 10 miles!!! My farther before that was six miles, so 10 was a huge deal for me!
I never thought I could do it, and your 8 mile runs actually inspired me to do it! I did have a lot of walk breaks but I’m so happy I accomplished it.

I think my goal is just to get back to distance with running after my injury. Other than that, just happy to tone back up a bit! I was stagnant for a good 8 months and it was TORTURE!

Fitness goal – finish up my training strong for a sprint triathlon on October 2nd. The distance is pretty short, so I don’t need to do a ton of mileage, but I do want to feel fast and strong during the race.
Professional goal – I REALLY need to get my photography business website up and running and straighten out my branding. Currently, I am using a business Facebook page (which has worked out very well) and my personal photography blog. Both are under different names though…a lot to do there!

That is awesome. Ok, I have a question for you and your readers. Sometimes when I do something impressive at the gym, my husband calls me “hoss.” He means it in an encouraging way, but I don’t like it because it makes me feel not pretty. He said a competitive athlete-type girl would appreciate it, so what do you ladies think? I am not trying to compare, but just hear a different perspective. Julie, 100 squats is amazing, and I love your workout shirt!

ha! i totally get where you’re coming from. “hoss” isn’t exactly a feminine and pretty word, but i think that your husband clearly means it in a good way – that you’re strong and powerful. i would definitely take it as a compliment coming from him! i’d rather be “hoss” than “feeble.”

I usually call myself a “beast” or say that I “beasted” a run, even though I’m so NOT a super-competitive athlete type girl. I get the “not pretty” connotation, but I think he’s just trying to compliment your endurance and strength! Be proud, girlie!

I think it doesn’t really matter if someone else would find that to be a compliment. If you don’t like it, why would he keep doing it? Different people like different things and if I called someone a name they clearly didn’t like, I wouldn’t do it again!

My goal (fitness and personal!) is to lose about 10 more lbs (I’ve already lost 10)! I know Its where I need to be for me to feel healthy. I graduated college (as a fine arts major, so I was always up and moving around in studio classes)/stopped working/got married/moved far away with my Marine husband to where I had no friends all in about a month and a half… then moved 2 more times that year for his training. I put on about 20lbs in that stressful year and just feel gross. But now I’m back to working out (I fell in love with bodypump because of your blog and a good friend) and eating mostly raw or wholesome foods- and still icecream and deserts in moderation of course haha! I’m feeling so much better already, halfway to my goal!

Yes!! For the past few weeks, I have been insanely busy and fallen out of my workout routine…badly! I’ve also joined a new gym and my currents goals are to a.) get back into my routine and to b.) learn my new gym. My new gym is less free weights focused and more cardio/circuit training centered, so I have to come up with a way for it to fit my training style.
Are your 100 squats weighted? I may try this on my next leg workout.

YAY! You go girl!
(I’m channeling that episode of Friends where Monica tries and fails to pull that off, lol!) 
100 weighted squats is amazing…after being inspired by you I did 100 NON-weighted ones at my last leg workout and that was hard enough. Seriously, my butt was soooo sore the next day, I was walking around like a duck…waddling, too! 
Well, it means it worked! Wall sits always make my thighs buuuuurn too, they’re amazing. I’m really loving your new leg-only workouts, they’re so awesome and I can’t wait to try them out for myself – thank you!

A few years ago I would always wear a set of clothes to walk the dog at night and then wear those running/ dog walking in the morning, because no one in my neighborhood is out 2x a day like me and if they are they know what a pain it is to wash double the laundry and how bad all the washing is for the workout material.. that was until my x moved in and made me feel bad for wearing dirty clothes! I know… so he is on his way out and the double wearing has ensued again! YAY for less laundry and being a dirty bug, I love it!
Goals… 1/2 marathons for 4 months in a row starting in December! YAY for 1/2 marathon training!
