56. work out every day for one month for at least 45min a day
Jogging. Walking. Sit-ups. Crunches. Leg Raises. Planks. Squats. Push Ups. Mountain Climbers.
These are the some of things that I did this month and I finally crossed it off the list – work out every day for one month for at least 45 minutes a day.

When I wrote my 101 in 1001 list, I didn’t think to specify that I meant 45 minutes a day on weekdays, so I made myself exercise 45 minutes a day everyday, which takes more discipline than I usually have {just ask my husband who saw me doing some of these exercises at 10pm because I had put them off all day}. This morning I finished the 30 days of 45 with a 5 mile run {well technically a 4.75 mile run and a .25 walk}.
My favorite benefit from working out everyday? This month I had considerably less headaches. While I can’t say for certain that exercise was the reason, there are articles that support this {here, here, and here}, and exercise was one of the only two things I changed this month to my regular routine {the other being I drank 72 oz of water a day, which has also been linked to decrease headaches, more on that later}.
So here’s to hopefully a new habit sticking around and to headaches staying away.
How often do you workout? What are your favorite exercises?
What we didn’t realize was that when you pay $8 you’re actually getting a double feature! We went to see X-Men {which was great!}, and as it was finishing, they announced that Godzilla would be starting 20 minutes later. G had already seen it and I probably wouldn’t have paid money to see it, but we decided to stay. The intermission gave us plenty of time to head to the concession stand for necessities for round two: coke and funnel cake. I ended up falling asleep for a few minutes during Godzilla, but that’s what happens when I’m out past 12am.
