Black Team Week 12

Wednesday's pushups got done. Barely. I too, like Marla, nearly went to bed without them. Literally jumped out of bed and started doing them on the floor next to the bed. DH thought I'd lost my mind. I said, "What? I forgot my pushup challenge." Can't do full form, but I rocked out 20 in a row, took a quick break and finished that set of 25. Then did about 15. Arms were screaming, took another rest and finished it up. I really underestimated how hard that would be.

Morning all. Great pics Lynnie- gotta hit facebook to see the rest.

Jeannie- you are such a bright and shiny person- it! Don't forget bench (or couch or chair) dips- like a backward pushup in case you don't know:

They are great for triceps and chest. One of my gym friend does like 80 a day and her triceps are starting to rock!

Marla- no pushups yet. I will live in the land of flabby arms and know if I just listened to you things would be so different...... :laugh: Actually, I hit the gym and weights a lot, so I'm not feeling too guilty.

Jeannie's goal is to rock out 10 full out pushups, I have a desire to be able to do pullups. I think I can do....... drumroll.......zero. There was a girl at the gym the other day who grabbed the bar and cranked out at least 10 beautiful pull ups. My mouth was hanging open and I just stared at her. (B!tch. :laugh:) Kidding! I only wish.

There is a need at the gym to 'outdo' others. It keeps me motivated.

I would love to be able to do a pull up. In high school, I think I could do one. And, that was when we could do them with our palms facing us. Then, they switched it so that we had to do them with our palms facing away. Was able to do 0 then. Then they said we could choose to hang with our chin above the bar. I think I lasted about 30 seconds. One pull up. That's all I'm asking. Doesn't even matter which way my palms are facing.

That pic is perfect! I did 3 sets of 15 last night!!! Funny you bring it up today!!

It is a rocking tricep exercise.......and can be done anywhere!!

Good afternoon everyone

I walked/ran 8 miles this morning and 100 crunches and a workout for 20 minutes burning 973 calories fixin to do my push ups now, I could not run as much as I did yesterday and monday my hip is hurting me.

I am leaving for GA tomorrow, yay going to get my boy, alittle nervous though because I will be out of comfort zone at home I know I have everything I need. There I will not have a scale my food my exercise place, where am I gonna walk at least we will only be gone for a little bit back home sunday afternoon so if I run tomorrow before we leave and run when we get home sunday then sat is the only day I will be missing anyways.

So we will see if I MIA for a few days you know where I am . Maybe I could walk to GA ( LOL) Ok maybe thats a little obsessive. Maybe I wil ride in the van with everyone else.

Have a great off to do my push ups and then off to cook lunch for darling daughter.!!!! She is always starving, I guess if she would have ate her breakfast she wouldnt be so hungrey for lunch. I am mean aint I???

Tamara- did you up your calorie intake to maintain? Just wondering.... in case I ever get there......

No I havent yet, I just got back down to goal weight since I splurged on my birthday anniversary and goal weight dinner, I am sorta scared to...

Those are great exercises and I feel them every time I do them, they kick my butt, however, I love them for that very reason.

If my legs were JUST that long!

Challenge report, I did my 50 for yesterday and will be doing my 50 for today in a few. I tried the reverse push ups last night and while they were hard they made the ole triceps take notice. No turkey arms on me, they have to go.

Renae and MTGirl-- no beatings, tar and feathers or harassment from me-- your own flabby arms shall be your punishment-- ha.

seriously-- whose freakin' idea was this anyway?

Evil Marla. Just evil. :laugh: Yup, they're flabby!! Someday I'll say good-bye to those bat wings!

Got my new hard drive!! WOOHOOOOOOO! I can be on my own computer again. :drinker: I just about got this conversion thing nailed. (knock on wood!) Next week will be better. It had better be better!

hey-- congrats on all the pushups peeps--

I tried the reverse ones-- too hard on my shoulders-- arthritis and old age and all that jazz.

I'll try again another time, though-- make sure they're not possible.

I got my nighttime ones in-- 50 for the day--

Later-- !!!!!!!!!!

Marla..........dips can be done on a very low step, only bring your butt down a little.............the further out your legs are from the step, the harder the movement.

I started with a 6 inch step and my knees under my chin!!
