    Week 7 Goal: 3500 + push ups

    10/20 Day 1: 448 (walking, dancing) - 0 pushups (I believe in taking a day off in between strength work, and I worked out yesterday, so I'll focus on doing it on 10/21, 23, & 25)
    10/21 Day 2: 693 (walking, dancing, pushups) - (1x4) + (1x3) + (3x2) + (26x1) = 39 pushup points
    10/22 Day 3: 154 (walking, stretching, rehabing)
    10/23 Day 4: 187 (pilates, stretching, pushups) - (1x3) + (15x2) + (19x1) = 52
    10/24 Day 5: 630 (walking, dancing)
    10/25 Day 6: 915 (stretching, recumbent, elliptical, calisthenics, pushups) - (4x3) + (10x2) + (22x1) = 54
    10/26 Day 7: +
