    Doing Day 2 of Week 2. I am pretty sure I am going to have to do this week again. I looked at week 3 and I seriously doubt I can do 15, 12, 12, 10 and 15 full push ups! I am struggling to do todays. Oh well. I am sticking with it and I can tell a difference. Alright, gotta get my last 5 or more in! My arms burn! See you Friday!

    Today for me is supposed to be Week 3 - Day 2 of the challenge.

    I am listening to me body :ohwell: 'cause it is telling me to push off Day 2 until tomorrow because of my do-over of week 3 - Day 1 yesterday. I know I will get in all 3 days before the end of the week.

    Reaction:

    I am finding tremendous satisfaction knowing that I am accomplishing something I could never do before and facing my greatest weakness. I just wanted to point out that I didn't expect this but not only am I gaining more than strength...I am really gaining confidence!! (Who woulda thunk!!!) :tongue:

    How is your personal push up progress affecting my fellow PUPs (Push Up People)? I'm listening.

    If you are reading this post and curious about this thread...you can join us by checking out
    www.hundredpushups.com and then post your progress here under our thread 100 Pushup Challenge. It is NEVER too late to start...only to NEVER start :tongue: !!

    I will check your posts later on even though I won't do Day 2 til tomorrow.

    Power to the PUPS!! :heart:

    Greetings Pups! Like Lavender, I am enjoying this so very much! Everyone is making great progress!

    I'm still doing week 1, day 1 until I can do the correct form pushups...this is just the way I want it to work it...I know it is OK to modify but full on is my style...yesterday I could not complete 1 correct form pushup...today I was able to:

    1 - 1
    2 - 2
    3 - 1
    4 - 1
    5 - 1

    So you can see I have a ways to go but with the progress I'm seeing already, I may be able to carry on to week 2 in a couple more weeks.

    Also, I found more power when I use Yoga breathing technique...after the sets I use Yoga to stretch and set intentions...then I dance with my arms a little bit!

    Thanks Everyone!

    OK, I am still doing modified (knee) pushups for at least the first week - maybe I will repeat week 1 with good form pushups if I get through this week.

    Week 1 - Day 2 - middle column:
    9
    8
    6
    5
    14

    Way to go, everybody! This is exciting. :drinker:

    I'm glad to see people are still working on this! I came down with a cold late last week which really knocked me down for the count. I picked up again yesterday but I re-did week 1 day 2 since I feel I lost some momentum:

    12
    12
    10
    10
    20

    Hopefully I'll hit the targets on Friday and finally move on to week two!!
