Push-Up Challenge Wednesday!

[DebbieH]

Hey, where is everyone? I know Becky is away. Tami is keeping in touch via E-mail with me since she is taking the break from the forums. She is working out still & doing great! (Although she has a slight pull in her knee which we hope heals quickly.) Okay, here is my report for the day:

Week 5, Day 1, Column 1...decided I better move on to week 5 but opted to start in column 1!

30
24
22
20
32 (Minimum was 30 & I squeaked those last 2 out!)

I have good days and bad days with this challenge. I know it all depends on how I slept, ate and also the routine I did at class or in my workout room the day before. I will continue to plug away at this and really do like the challenge to keep me accountable. How's everyone doing?

FYI

I just re-visited the 100 push-up website. He has modified the program AND now has a really cool one page, fold into little pocket size complete program! Check it out! It's really neat!

No pushups for me today (still haven't done that week 6 test!) Had a bunch of crazy kid-related stuff the last couple of days, so I haven't been able to work out.

I suppose I could try to squeeze in the test tonight...but I don't see that happening....LOL.

Great looking numbers ladies! Nice work!

Debbie, please tell Tami we said "Hi", and hope she's hanging in there!

PS--Has anyone ever heard of a dog eating a retainer??

I'm still here!! It's been a crazy few days, so the pushups have been slacking. Sat we went out for DH's bday. My dad came to babysit and gave us money for dinner. Nice surprise!!! A babysitter who pays me!!! Then Sun DS was crabby and seemed like he was getting sick. Mon was a trip to the Dr and the discovery of strep throat. So I spent Tues home with him as well. He is CRABBY! when he doesn't feel well. Today he went back to school, so things are getting back to normal. Mon was DH's actuall birthday, DS didn't really feel like cake, so that left more triple chocolate mousse cake for my thighs (yum!) Meaning, I probably should have been doing some push up Mon night. I did get the ones from MM Sunday, so it wasn't total slack-ville.
Today I did the challenge, week 5 day 3 (knees due to shoulder issues)
12/12/12/12/10/10/9/30 total of 107.
I will do my week 6 test the day after tomorrow and see how it goes. My wrists are getting tired when I hit about 30. I tried a few tonight on my toes w/ db's as pushup handles and it felt really good on my wrists and shoulder. My hands were a little uncomfy digging into the metal, but I may go the store and check out pushup handles and see how they feel. Could be worth the investment. I want to repeat this on my toes (how I started) when I am done, but the shoulder blade issue needs to clear 1st. I didn't notice it using the db's, so handles may be the solution.

Dogs eat everything, a retainer would be no surprise. Did you see LauraMax's post the other day. I know my dog would eat a retainer if it was left out.
