Month Review

Weight: 218.7
PU's: 25

I started the month at 217 and that seems to be where I'm finishing the month.

Nothing to Report

Weight: 219.4
PU's: 25

Heading Back to the 220's

Weight: 221.4
PU's: 22

Took the weekend off from Push Ups and paid the price this morning. Ran out of breath at 20.

I hate our scale!

Two Days @ 213

Weight: 213.6
PU's: 26

I got the same weight two days in a row so I'm going with it. The diet is officially over but I'm going to try like hell to keep losing...or at least, maintain.

Possible False Weight

Weight: 213.4
PU's: 25

I'm taking that weight even though it took three tries to get it. Our scale is a piece of shit. 

I almost pooped out at 22 push ups, but I fought through it.

No Goal Today

Weight: 216.4
PU's: 27

Some mornings, you just know you're not going to make your goal.

I knew it this morning when I hit number 18. Too much stress in the muscles. I struggled to 26 and knew 27 was going to be tough.

30 for Toosdee

Weight: 216.something
PU's: 30

I made it through thirty but it was a bitch.

Day Off

No weight or push ups today. I have some guys coming to the house to do an energy assessment...find out how drafty the house really is.

Happy Easter

Weight: 216
PU's: 27

I might get to drink a beer today. I'm very excited.

Weekend Stragedy

Weight: None
PU's: 20

Susan and I both think that our scale is a pile of crap. Only managed twenty push ups but it's a weekend and I'm going to be moving around a LOT! At least, that's my strategy.

Stupid Scale

Did not weigh in
PU's 27

I really tried for 28 but couldn't make it.

New Push Up Strategy

Weight: 218.4
PU's: 25

I'm reverting to just one set of push ups and I'm going to try to add more to the 25. So far, it has proved difficult. 

Wimp

Weight: 214.0
PU's: 25

I felt good about my weight and bad about my first set of push ups. It was tough to get through 24 and 25.

Weekend Vacation

Weight: 217.6
PU's: 50 - 25, 25

I took the weekend off of pushing up or even weighing myself. I got through the push ups okay this morning but I'm not happy with the weight. 

Pick A Number

Weight: 214.1
PU's: 40 - 20, 20

My shoulders and arms are sore but I did my push ups anyway. Only got through 20 per set. 

I was happy with my weight the first time I got on the scale but I didn't trust it. So I reluctantly got back on and the number went up slightly. I did it again and got a third number. I settled in the middle.

Up Two

Weight: 216.4
PU's: 30

My weight gain is my own damn fault. I ate some fried chicken yesterday.

I got up late today so I didn't have time to do all my push ups. So I psyched myself up to do 30 in one set. I felt pretty good going into 26 and 27  but 28 and 29 were bitches and 30 was almost impossible...but I got it done. I am awesome!

Down Nine

Weight: 214.6
Pu's: 72 - 26, 26, 20

I got up early to do some computer work and I did three sets of push ups. Feeling pretty good AND, I'm down almost 10 pounds.

Bitchin'!

Pushing the Push Ups

Weight: 216.4
PU's: 52 - 26, 26

I didn't do any stomach crunches because the push ups did me in this morning. I want to get past 25 push ups in a set and I guess it will just take time. One push up at a time.

Ninety-Five Percent Lazy

Weight: 218.0
PU's 50 - 25, 25
No Stomach Crunches

I did not forget to post over the weekend. I did some push ups on Saturday but did them in the Super Slow format. The idea is to do your exercise really slow and continue until your muscles can't do it anymore. I did four push ups.

And I gave myself a day of rest on Sunday, although I did walk 1.8 miles.

The lazy part of me, which makes up about 95% of me, is wondering whether this exercise thing is doing me any good. I'm not really seeing any results. I can do 25 a a time but I can't seem to break that barrier. I'm not noticing firmer muscles or even shorter recovery times after I finish. But that 5% of me is hanging in there and making me do it.

Little Train

Weight: 215.9
PU's: 45 - 20, 25
Stomach Crunch: 10

I would really like to get past 25 push ups. I think I can! I think I can! I think I can!

Up Point Six

Weight: 216.0
PU's: 50 - 25, 15, 10
Stomach Crunch: 10 - 5, 5

If I do the Stomach Crunches first and then the push ups, I get through them better.

Down Eight

Weight: 215.9
PU's: 50 - 25, 25
No Crunch

I'm not quite there but close enough to call eight points off the scale.

Super Buff Overnight

Weight: 175
PU's: 200 - All at one time
Stomach Crunch: 75

I am incredibly buff and no longer need to work out.

APRIL FOOLS!

Boy, I got ya good on that one.

The reality is I did 10 Stomach Crunches, followed by 20 Push Ups in my first set and 25 in the second. I weighed in at 217.1.

Stomach Crunches are what I used to call the Rollie Wheel. I renamed them because a Stomach Crunch is more what it feels like and it's much more manly than Rollie Wheel.

1:41PM: I took a good quick short walk today. The weather is beautiful. Next time I go, I'll record time and distance.
