Hi push-up friends.
I started tonight, but I did my push-ups without reading the directions . But I did three sets of ten on my toes (but I do believe my butt was sticking up a bit more than "proper form". Whatever.
I'm going to bet I will be sore for days, so I will start the real program Wednesday.
Ok, I talked a friend of mine into doing this with me, and she talked me into moving up to the more than 10 push-ups column. It will be more of a challenge this way and we will be doing it together. OK, my arms are tired now, off to bed. Nite ladies.
my arms are a little sore this morning too! hah crazyness! i like it though!! I sould probably rest my arms for a day between practising.. but we will see how i feel later. Im going to try t push myself harder in this challenge. I think I will get DH to train me tonite.. AHH! I don't know if I dare! hehe

I don't know what it is about pushups that are sooooo hard. My body just doesn't like them. I worked my way through 1/2 of the NROLW program earlier this year and there were pushups in it - I did against the bench ones.
And I do pushups every morning (ok, *most* mornings) against my cedar chest. But I cannot cannot cannot do regular full, on the floor pushups.
I can even hold a plank for a good bit of time, but I *cannot* pushup.
I wish I knew why. I wonder if it's mostly mental or what?
Maybe I'll work my way through this challenge with my bench/chest pushups and see if when I get to 100, I can move to floor pushups.
Im just about to see how many pushups I can do again today. my goal is More than 8. mind over matter.. mind over matter i keep telling myself! hehe I can't wait to start week one on monday.. it seems so far away! hehe
Edit: Im proud! I did two sets of 8 and they were actually low to the ground ( Well lower than usual) baby steps! hehe

Hey all!! I'm still around! LOL! I've had some tests this week so it has been crazy...I THINK I've almost gotten me a schedule that will allow for some regular exercise. I am still planning on starting the push up challenge on Monday....I will keep everyone updated!
Ok has anyone else noticed that the numbers for the week one challenge have changed on the site? I printed mine out but I wanted to go back and check something, and I noticed my chart didn't match theirs. At the bottom of the chart it says NOTE: The above workout is a modification of the original plan. Then it says the original week 1 is still available for a limited time and gives u the link. It has the same thing for the other weeks as well. Of course, the new charts have an increase in the amounts to do, so just something to be on the look out for when you start week 2. I think I will just switch over to the new modified versions in week 2 because I don't know how long the old one will be available.
Anyway, my arms are so sore. I did Curves today too and I could tell a difference just from one day of push-ups. I'm off to do day 2 now.
Christina: Thanks for the heads up! I wil check the sit eout
So I had DH help me with push ups tonite. He stood over me and helped lower me as low as i should go and keep a good form. They are so much easier when someone's lifting you back up! hehehehe
YAY!
. But I did three sets of ten on my toes (but I do believe my butt was sticking up a bit more than "proper form". Whatever. 
I'll let everyone know how it goes.
The pushup site changed the charts..
