Since I’m trying to get back into shape and need a decent weight training regime and and AND I’m too lazy to drive all the way to Offutt due to lack of weights around here *gasps and picks the run-on sentence back up* I thought it would be “fun” to join Amy in her quest for 100 pushups.

I’ve just taken the initial test and cranked out 10 pushups, which to me is mildly surprising because I was convinced I’d poop out at 5 or 6. I guess that lifting and hauling The Shake everywhere is helping, even if it’s only a little bit. 10 is all right. It puts me in the level 2 group which means I’ll have to do a set of 7, 7, 5, 4, and then a max set of at least 5 today, Wednesday, and Friday before moving onto the next tier.

I’ll do that later (says Teh Procrastinator) while Shake is snoozing this afternoon.

I wonder if there is a 100 sit-up program.

(Update) It’s almost 4:30 and I finally got around to my first set. Wasn’t expecting Mr. H to ask me to meet him at Carlos O’kelly’s for lunch, and probably should have turned him down since I had stuffed myself on about 4 large bowls of CornPops not even 2 hours before he called. But I went anyway and ordered a salad that I couldn’t even finish half of.

I began the set and did the 7, 7, 5, 4 with no problems. I started with my max set, finished pushup #5, stared at the floor for a couple of beats and managed to force one more out before shaking my head and getting back up again.

After all that, I feel like I should be doing more. I have a tiny 6 lb medicine ball that I use for crunches, so maybe I’ll do something with that.
