100 Push Ups, W4D2(r2), FAIL

Darnitall! I was unable, again, to get through day two. I failed out on the fourth set of 25. ARGH. I am sick of starting over! One possible reason is that I had sword class this morning, which may have drained some of my upper body strength.

On the sit-ups front, week 3, day1 went much more smoothly, and I banged them out with relative ease, which is to say, barely.

Book: The Mindbody Prescription

At the suggestion of one of my online friends/fans, Forkmantis, I just finished reading The Mindbody Prescription: Healing the Body, Healing the Pain. This was a very insightful read, founded on the principle that the mind and body are one, and therefore physical manifestations of pain can controlled, and eliminated, by the brain.

100 Push Ups Wk4(r2) Day 1, 200 Sit Ups Wk3(r2) Initial

Okay, I’m starting to confuse even myself with this, but suffice to say I’m back on track, albeit a bit behind, on my push ups AND now back with the sit ups again!

So last night, I restarted Week 4 of the push ups, doing sets of 21, 25, 21, 21, and 25, and then followed it up with an initial test of sit ups, ending at 45. “More than 30″ was all I needed to do to get into Week 3, so I’ll start there maybe today at lunch time.

Are you doing sit ups or push ups too? Let me know!

100 Push Ups, Week 4, Round 2!

I totally lost track of where I was, and have not been keeping up with the push ups plan. So I’m restarting Week 4 after doing an endurance test where I ended with 33. I guess I shouldn’t feel too badly about that, since I started with 20. Oh well. Here we go, again!

Hundred Push Uhhh…

So, I backslid. I admit it. I’m back down Week 4 Day 2 after being up to Day 3 and not being able to hack it. Darnitall.
