My schedule is off this week so instead of doing the push-ups first thing in the morning,
I have to wait until later.
Today later meant right before dinner.
When I suddenly realized I hadn’t done the damned things workout.
Oy.
I thought it was hard the other days when my arms shook and I fought mightily to get some space
between the floor and me.
Tonight I collapsed.
Three times on the last set.
My arms just gave out and I flopped onto my belly.
Without warning.
Three times.
But I did my required number of pushups
(not sharing because it’s kind of embarrassing).
Hope it still counts even though the set was done as a relay.
Oy.

You’re scaring me. I think I could (maybe) do one push-up.

Don’t be afraid. I bet you could do more than you think. Especially since you’re such a petite flower.

I got all that going on, too, sister. Push-ups are humbling while they’re happening but post-push-up I have a feeling of POWER!!!

Are these real pushups? The full body kind? If you can do more than one of those, you’re a superhero. And if you’re doing more than three of the from the knees kind, you’re a hero.

Yes, I’m doing the real ones. Compliments of a couple other crazy writers who got a bunch of going via this program:

I’m finishing up Week Two and from the sounds of the forward scouts, I might want to repeat Week Two before attempting Week Three because there’s a real jump in the program. OMG. I just looked at next week and it’s a HUGE jump. I’ll be doing a redo…

Hmmm. I finally went to the website, but it looks complexicated. Is it one of those things that seem simple once you’re actually doing it?

I don’t think it’s complicated although I didn’t realize there’s an Exhaustion Test at the end of Week Two. ahem… But since I’m repeating Week Two this week, it’s no big deal. I think it’s a cool program because I just check in at the site to get my assignment, and then do it. I don’t know why but it keeps me going. I’m doing the sit-ups, too. I’ve become a slave to an online program!!!
