    Week 6, day 3, level 3 - I made it through the whole week at level 3. So I am almost back to where I was before I quit for awhile.

    71 (min 60)

    245 total, I think. Not fabulous form at this point in terms of speed (I go as fast as I can) and height (I am going to maybe 90 degrees at the elbow) - but I don't care. I am going to follow in MM's footsteps and FINISH, and then go back and work on going lower. Honestly, I think it was a good thing for me that I continued on by changing my form a bit instead of getting stuck at week 3-4 forever... I think the rest of my body, particularly my core, needed the time to catch up - and I was getting frustrated. Pushups really work a lot of muscles in your whole body... towards the end of the long sets sometimes my legs start shaking! I could go back now, but I think I am close (within a month) of finishing - I want to make it to 100!

    Life kicked me in the *kitten* this week-- I got some pushups in 3 days this week, but nothing "official."

    Try again next week-- same bat time, same bat channel-- week 4, level 1.

    Better day today than last couple. I must be getting stronger because I noticed that my lower belly is brushing the ground in my push-ups. Ah the joys of motherhood, I knew all that hanging skin would come in handy someday.:laugh: I bet if I went without a bra these old saggy boobs would touch too?:blushing:

    Aw, so close! I tested today. I was counting myself, and my husband was also counting. I made it to 90 - but until I stopped and my DH told me otherwise, I thought I was only at 80. If I had known it was 90... maybe I would have paused for a few seconds without dropping and tried to struggle through the last 10. :wink: But I think I am close!!

    OK - again with week 6. My shoulders and arms are really sore today, so I had to rest a bit more than usual in between sets. But I made it through.

    30
    71 (min55)

    Keep it up, Marla, Duffyzmom, Cham, et al! :flowerforyou: And WELCOME, psychojenn! I could only do one pushup when I started. :tongue:

    Hey, I'm still around. I've had the flu this week so no push ups. I will start again on Monday probably with week 3 level 1 or 2.
    Good job Keiko! Come back on Thursday!
    To the rest of you, keep it up! I'm glad to see how many of you are still doing it! It's not easy, but it is worth it!

    Having a bad neck week so I'm just trying to maintain for now. MRI showed a herniated disc so my doctor won't even let me do PT until I see a nuerosurgeon. I dropped back to Week 4 Level 2 and plan try and do this until I get further clearance from the surgeon. The good news is a herniation at this level can cause muscle weakness in the biceps, triceps or deltoids so if I get this fixed my 100 may be more attainable.

    Week 4 Level 2:

    *18
    *22
    *16
    *16
    *20 (min 25)
