adding 200 squats

The 100 push up challenge continues. I am repeating week one and I may do so again next week. I am not in a hurry to complete the program. I don't even care if I make it to 100 - but I would really like to be able to do 50 pushups in a set.

I did the test for the 200 squat challenge. I was pleased that I could do 40. That puts me in the advanced column. I will have to have Ben check my form but I am looking forward to adding this to the workout.

After the squat test I went for a walk (2.2 miles around campus). My legs felt week starting out but I quit thinking about it as the walk progressed. I am looking forward to 1 hour lunches so that I can get to the wellness center and try running. I will start that in September. In the mean time the walks are going well and I have been pretty regular with them.

I am still stuck at 149+ pounds. Not worried though. The combination of exercise and proper eating will pay off in wellness if not skinniness ;-).

100 pushups

I am back into active training mode now that Ben's class is over until September. I started the 100 push-up challenge (http://hundredpushups.com) which I am logging at the push-ups logger (http://www.pushupslogger.com). There is such a wealth of training tools online.

I had been slowly but steadily losing weight but woke up Monday morning as heavy as I had ever been (152 lbs). Drastic measures have been taken. I am now "on the wagon" as we say, logging all of my food at FitDay (www.fitday.com) and walking on my lunch hour (1/2 hour for summer). When we go to regular hours, I plan to join the wellness center and expand my workouts to running and rowing.
