I knew it was going to be hard…

…but I had no idea. The 100 Push Ups Challenge is a bitch. I’m only 3 weeks into it and I have a feeling that while I’ll complete each week with relative success the consecutive 100 is beyond me. And by relative success I mean, I get through the first four reps of each day but I never can finish the 5th, which is always “as many as you can, minimum of X”. This week the minimum was 10, 13 and 15 and I fell short by at least 3 or 4 each time.

The precise goal of the challenge may be unattainable, but I don’t care; it’s a set routine and something to aim for and that’s all I really wanted.

Twenty days of regular exercise, better food and no alcohol have sent at least one pair of pants on its way to Goodwill.

No Alcohol Update

Day 6.

Those two bottles of Chardonnay in my fridge are taunting me.

Pushups!

Day 1 of the 100 Push Ups Challenge. Five reps, 6-6-4-4-max (I did 12 for the last rep). Followed by a half hour of cardio and some light stretches/yoga poses. I don’t remember much from the yoga classes I took a million years ago but I now remember how I felt when I left each day. Also, I am way out of shape, but you already knew that.
