Today's total...

is 97! It would have been 99 but I didn't count two of them because I couldn't get my elbows locked out on them. I am talking push-ups of course. Today was week 3/day 1. I really struggled on today's but I did it. Set 3 and 5 I had to take a brief rest (10ish seconds) before completing the set.

I skipped planks. After 99 (97) push-ups I was done!

My weight was up 1 pound today. I figured that after my high carb weekend and my raging sunburn was probably the cause. Then I got a surprise early visit. So maybe the gain was TOM related. Maybe it was a little of everything and I will see a big drop next week. I am going with that theory! LOL

Eating was good today, although out of order. I usually start my day with PWO shake but I didn't get my workout in until 8 tonight. So I ended the day with PWO instead.

Sixty-Five

That is how many push-ups I managed today. Not all at once but as part of the 100 push-ups program I blogged about earlier. I was able to eek out 2 more than what today's plan required. Go me! LOL

Yesterday I didn't get anything done so I tacked on yesterday's planks to today's workout. Those were hard after 4 sets of bridges.

Weight wise I am fluctuating between 215 and 214 this week. Yesterday was my high carb day so I gained a bit but I expect it all to be gone by tomorrow.

I have been pretty lax on cardio this week (We all know how I feel about cardio, don't we?). I am getting ready to go do my steady-state-twenty-minutes-of-hell as soon as I am done with this post and then I am planning to do some HIIT before walking the dog tonight.

Can YOU Do 100 Push-ups???

NO!? Wuss!

Okay, neither can I, but I'm gonna darnit!

Over at 100 Push-ups.com they have a plan to get you to 100 in 6 weeks. Now I am not delusional enough to think that I can do 100 push-ups with 6 weeks of training regardless of what some well designed website says, but the plan seems sound. I am going to start with knee push-ups for 6 weeks and redo the program and move up to bench push-ups and then to floor push-ups. I have a goal of doing 10 real push-ups by the end of the year. I have just enough time to run through this program 3 times (knees, bench, floor) before then.

Other than impressing my friends at a party and making my husband feel inadequate, I can't think of any reason that I need to do 100 push-ups, but it would still be cool! LOL
