100 Push Up Challenge!

OK, I'll admit, I've been super lazy about strength training lately, which is super dumb because when I work at keeping my arms and shoulders strong, I don't have problems with neck pain.

So, this week some colleagues were discussing their quest to do 100 push ups following this website (http://hundredpushups.com/), and I thought, hmmm this might be just what I need to get my neck back in shape in a fun way! Of course, I need some moral support from my super awesome husband, so I informed him that he was going to try, too! (OK, he's less than enthused about trying this, but he knows keeping my neck pain-free is in his best interest.)

To make this a fun family affair, I told the girls they can be our trainers! They are going to love using a clipboard and timer while bossing us around. And because we're super Biggest Loser fans, they yelled out:




Starshine "I'm Bob!"



Jr. Princess "I'm Jillian!"

Yup - that pretty much describes their personality differences. Starshine will be nice and supportive, and Jr. Princess wants to be the boss of us!

We did the initial test yesterday


Me - 25 (girl push-ups)


Matt -26

Not bad, but no where near 100. And no, I don't actually think I'll get to 100 push ups, but wouldn't 50 be cool? Wish us luck!
