Push Up!

I woke up this morning pleased that it was a push up day!  Big change from a few days ago.  In fact, I kinda missed doing push ups yesterday.

Tomorrow is a Free Day

No push ups tomorrow.  Yippee.

I am at an all time high of 730 push ups this week.  To get there I am doing, on average, 120 push ups a day (4 sets of 30).

I've been pushing up six days a week for seven weeks. And I am proud.  At least until I think of all the weeks I wasted before now.

But, once I stop whinnying about the past I remind myself that I am doing good.  I have a goal (1 set of 100 man push ups, a day, six days a week by my 62nd birthday) I have a plan to get there and I am on target.  In fact, in celebration, sang a bit of "I am woman" when I completed my last set tonight.

Pushups, Pushups and Cup Cakes

I do 120 pushups a day, usually 4 sets of 30. I wake up thinking, dang I have to do pushups again.  It's not that they are boring, it goes to fast to be boring, it's that there is no end in sight.  I can't at some point say, wow I'm fit, I'm healthy, I never have to work,at it again.

I guess, that's the problem, being fit, being healthy is work.  At least for me it's work. Maybe if I keep going it will at some time be fun.


I see cup cakes advertised all over the place and I want one. The problem is all they are is a little bit of cake and lots of frosting. Too much. Too sweet. But I see them in magazines, on the Internet, in my dreams and I want one. Dang the power of ads.

The Seven Hundred Club

I did 700 pushups last week, half on the fourth step half on the third.   I am surprised that's moving one step down makes them significantly harder.   Though, I am learning that they get easier as the week goes on.  Life is good.

It is surprisingly easy to motivate myself to do this. Surprisingly!  And that surprises me.  Life style change.  And it is about time to add in another exercise.  It should be walking, but I may decide to add in crunches instead.

I Did 1,874 Stair Push Ups in February

And I am proud of myself. That's an average of 67 each day! I am cool. I am woman! Hear me roar! This month I am moving down a step. February's nearly 1,900 were with me leaning on the fourth step. This week I want to average 100 a day with at least 50% on the third step. Dang, moving down one step makes those push ups much harder. My form on the fourth step is good. Butt down, back straight, and body all the way down each time. Form is not so good now that I am down a step. Gives me something to work for.
