    Whew! Day 8 complete, and my shoulders are feeling it. I figured since I completed the November challenge and completed 50 pushups per day, it would be no big deal to complete 100 pushups every other day. Boy those last 2 sets are killing me! Should be interesting when I start trying to add regular ones next week. Oh well, that is why we call it a challenge. Good job loveme and fitnewlife, we are almost 1/3 of the way through this challenge! Keep up the good work!

    Push Ups killed me today. Because I'm doing Insanity I had to do moving push ups, oblique push ups, and push up jacks. My shoulders are hurting today.

    Oh my, I am really not liking the push ups. I dread them every even day. However, I do feel like I am getting stronger. So I do notice the benefit. Wouldn't be a challenge if it wasn't difficult. Loving it!!

    I've been useless with doing this challenge which I'm annoyed at myself about. I'm going to get straight back into this tomorrow morning.

    Well done to all of you for sticking to this! You're all doing so well!

    Go my pushups done today. I did 2 sets of 20 at home but in my gym class we did loads and too many to count so I struggled a bit when I got home to do them!

    Bring on the squats tomorrow!

    Well, I haven't logged for a couple of days and missed Sunday & Monday. So, tonight I made up the day of squats that I missed, as well as the day of push ups I missed. I completed 100 squats, and 200 push ups!! Thats right 200 (30 regular and 170 modified)!! Squats is I can't believe I was able to complete these this evening. It took me a while, but I was able to accomplish during the commercials while watching TV. I now realize that I am capable of much more than I give myself credit for. I am sure that I will be sore tomorrow, but I know that I can accomplish anything as long as I believe that I can. Good luck everyone!! Keep working hard and believe in yourself!!
