Hello friends. I am a bum. I have totally abandoned you and it's not fair. I want to apologize and recommit myself to this blog. After all, it's not like I am committed to anything else right? :) No but seriously, I liked having this little side blog even if it wasn't super successful to freely talk about exercise, food (instead of typing food there I probably should have put healthy eating but you know me...) and other activities.
In order to recommit I have decided to do something big and bold. I am a member of this great little cooking blog (just-cook-already.blogspot.com) and while trying to find something new to make for dinner I ran across a girl who inspired me. She is one of those super cute, childless, healthy eating, hard core chicks that you love/hate. (Which seems a bit unfair of me to say because I have never actually met this person, I have only stalked her blog.) One of her New Year's Resolutions was to take on the 100 push up challenge. When I first read this I scoffed. One hundred military push ups? Like 100 on my toes? HAHAHAHA! Yeah right dude. I can maybe squeeze out five, semi-good push ups consecutively, while cursing, on my toes. But then I thought, if this cute little bean pole can do this, then why the heck can't I? I've always been a bit more muscly then the average Jane (yes I am calling my thickness muscle not...well...thickness) of course I can do this! And you know what?! You can too!
So what do you say? Who is in? That a girl!!! Let's get started. Here is the website I am using as a guide. Today I am going to do my initial test and Monday will be the beginning of the end of my wussiness.
Kat's Initial Test Results: 12

100 PUSHUPS
Yesterday's Initial Test:

16
Kinda pathetic but at least it's not less.
This means that tomorrow I'm supposed to start with column 3 but I'm not gonna. I'm going to eaaaaase into it and start with column 2.
Day 1 of Week 1
Today was easy, mostly because I've chosen to stick with the middle column even though I did enough to qualify for the most challenging column.
I was able to bang out all of the push-ups in about 3 minutes rather than spacing them out a bunch. I also did 14 push-ups for my max out at the end. Those felt good. :)
I still feel comfortable with my choice to go easier. I think this will give me a better chance at success by keeping me from burning out on the program too quickly. How'd you do? ;)
Day 2
My second day should have landed on Sunday but I don't like working out on Sunday and I was zonked on that day. I completed day 2 late last night and it was hard.
For my last set, the max out set, I only eeked out 10. I don't know if it was because it was late or what but boy, rough go last night.
Hopefully Wednesday will be better.

So how long do we have to do this? The whole year? I'll try it with you, although I must admit, I tend to do my push ups on my knees most of the time! I can just do way more that way! But I will try it the normal way.
Um, what if I can't even do one? I have a L-O-N-G way to go...
Ok I'm in! I just did the test and got 14... what the...??? Kendall thought I would only get 3 (mainly due to my wrist problems) and I thought I'd only get 1 1/2.
So where do we report our progress? Just comment when you report your progress?
