100 Pushups!

Ok, I am trying this again.  Given the number of things I've accomplished this year, (also my flagging commitment to accomplishing things) I thought this the ideal project to re-invigorate myself.  For one thing, lugging around pounds of law books doesn't have the same effect as tossing around countless boxes of books, and consequently my arms are re-flabbing themselves.  And for another, this is a relatively small time suck.  Just three times a week.  Join me won't you!  Here's the website...

On a hilarious note, as testament to my non-existent sense of commitment to a challenge; when I was searching for the push-up website I came across a website called 100 layer cake, which was actually a wedding blog.  But not to be un-distracted I searched for the World's Largest Cake, which may or may not have been the birthday cake made for Las Vegas' 100th birthday, there's some debate on the subject.

Also, I found this picture of a giant pumpkin pie.

Curious about my push-up progress? Jazzed about my juggling journey?

(Alarmed by my Artless Alliteration?)

I've been on the injured reserve lately. I tweaked my arm somehow and am not really sure what I did. Of course, it's hard to tell given the recent flurry of activity I've subjected my arm to...here's a list, I'll let you decide...

-juggling
-push-ups
-carrying a 30 lb bag of cat food home from the grocery store
-crazy book shelving habits (The other day I had 15 minutes to shelve an entire cart. When I was done I called myself a "a shelving whirlwind, a champion of order!")
-a pinched nerve from being over-boastful (see above)
-the cartwheel I tried last Thursday (I was unsuccessful)
-sleeping on it wrong
-extended play sessions with the new toy I bought the cats
-holding up Jonathon Strange & Mr. Norrell while reading in bed
-aggressive crocheting
-cat presses (it's a bench press but instead of a bar I use Brody)

I wonder if my insurance will cover any of these?

I'm a Failure

I have put forth a paltry and puny performance pertaining to my push-up program. I started this 6-week program on February 17th. I should be done by now, and able to do my 100 push-ups, but I'm only on week 4 and with each additional day of the program I think it less likely that I will be able to do 100. Keep in mind, I am only doing so-called "girl" push-ups and even then, I have to do some of the days over. I know I'm getting stronger, because I am doing way more than when I started. But even so...why can't I do my 100 now? whine.

Why do my abs hurt so much?

Day 2 of 100 Push-Ups

Ow.

I'm Gonna Be So Freaking Buff

one hundred push ups

Let's all do it together! Along with my half hour of juggling per day, and walking to one extra bus stop every day, I'm gonna be ready for my Cher Party in no time!
