May includes a special calendar for people participating in the Pull-Up Challenge to keep you from overtraining!
The directions are simple: find the current date on the calendar, see what workout(s) it asks for, and pick one from each section listed for that date.
For example, if today it says “Arms” and “General,” I’d find an arm workout and a general workout to do today. (The Endurance Calendar also has “stretch” as a category; I do not have any stretching routines, but simply take about ten minutes to stretch out and relax when stretching is called for, or try a yoga video online.)
If you’d like to write about your experiences during the month or see how others are doing, please use the tag “BoP: May”. By all using this tag, we can see what others are doing during the month and send others encouragement along the way. Let’s all support each other on our journeys! (If you’re not on Tumblr but still use these calendars, feel free to update us on the Back On Pointe Facebook Page or the Back On Pointe Fitocracy Group!)
During the month, remember that you should take as many rest days as you need, modify any workouts that you cannot do, stay hydrated, get more low-intensity cardio, and eat well.
Have fun!
p.s. Any of the calendars can be modified. If you are training for a half-marathon, feel free to count that as your cardio on cardio days. If you’re sore in the arms from helping a friend move, substitute a butt workout instead. It’s all about you!

Are you on Tumblr more than you’d like to admit? Well, here’s a way to stay active while browsing fitness blogs. (And yes, this took a while to make. Lots of screen shots. But I think it was worth it.)
Just bringing this back. :)

Lately
I haven’t really been on lately. Been very busy. Since I’ve been waddling around being pregnant and all, of course I had to but a pause on the weight loss. I also got married. On Halloween! And we’ve been potting training our son. I also got a job! Almost at my 90 days, so the probation period is almost over. I feel like I’m everywhere. So tired. I used to sleep at like 10 pm or 11 pm. Not too bad, but now it’s like 8 pm. I work at 5 am so I know why my schedule is all off, and I thank god my mom helps out with my son. Bc the husband doesn’t get off work till 10 pm.
Aside from all that, I am happy. Super happy. I got lucky and married my baby daddy. I have lots of friends who have different baby daddies or they separate and have this crazy relationship. Idk. I just feel lucky that he and I have stayed together for 2 years, have a really adorable son and another one on the way (yes, it’s a BOY!) And we had a romantic wedding. I’ve been in a lovey dovie mood. It’s ok :)
