It is indeed summer, and I am getting back into my exercise-at-Chatham routine. Yesterday was too hectic and I didn't get anything done, but I'm back to doing sun salutation yoga stretches and the 100 push-ups challenge. This year I'm doing all my push-ups from my knees. I will be able to do more push-ups and will be engaging my muscles for a ( Read more... )

I couldn't get in anything yesterday, so I figured that getting in my exercise at 9:00 on Thursday is better than nothing at all. And Uh. Mah. Gawd is keeping my butt down in turn kicking my ass. It's for the better, so numbers don't matter that much ( Read more... )

I have adjusted my technique after pointers from most wonderful dicea, and I think that might help explain the lower numbers for today. I'm still on Week 3 ( Read more... )

Labor Day came, and I made time for my push-ups. Not great, but decent:

Today I felt stronger in general. I *almost* made the final set of 12! So close!

That makes the most push-ups done in good form, ever, for the last, as well as total for the last set. Hoping Friday sees a continuation.

I didn't make a total of 13 for the last set. I will redo this week, aiming to finish these sets before moving on.

Did 'em in the afternoon, which isn't bad for mixing it up a bit:

Forgot the first set was only 10. Still, an improvement from two weeks ago! Yay!

Back on the track.

The last set needed to be 9. I am glad that, even with having missed two days, I got the first four sets done in good form.

I need to stop worrying about what I can't change and focus on the time I know I have now.

On Wednesday, I missed my first day of push-ups since I started on Sunday, June 15. I did not due push-ups today, either. I will try them on Monday and just re-do the week.
