You should not feel that you have to lose weight or do things to earn his love and attention. Do you want to always feel like you need to compete to continue your relationship? Chances are that he is not just doing this because of how a recent issue is affecting your relationship. These online sites can be addicting. Some…

I swear that aspartame was a contributing factor to a bout of depression I experienced over 7 years ago. I was trying to lose weight, replaced sugared soda with diet soda among other things. Years later I tried diet sodas again and noticed, after a couple weeks, that I felt like I was living in a cloud, and had a very…

Okay ... checking in at the end my week 4 (program week 2) target - actual 15 - 15 15 - 15 12 - 12 12 - 12 15 - 16 I just barely made it. Well, in two days I'll be performing the first test to see how many consecutive push ups I can do now that I have made it through the second week of the program. I am not progressing as…

Way to go Lavender!!! You are doing great!!!
-
Everyone is doing great!! Keep up the good work and we'll be doing 100 consecutive push ups in no time!! I made it through Week 2 Day 2 today: target - actual 16 - 16 13 - 13 11 - 11 11 - 11 15 - 17 It looks like day 3 will be easier this week ... I'm looking forward to that! And then on to the test after week 2 to see how…

Alright I completed Day 1 of Week 2 last night: target - actual 12 - 12 12 - 12 9 - 9 7 - 7 12 - 23

Lavender, What do you mean "21 more until 100"? We're shooting for 100 consecutive push ups straight through without a break in between! I don't see how anybody can get there in just six weeks, even following this program ... but at least they address that issue and acknowledge that some will need to re-do a week until…

Put me down for 15 miles this week. I just started a new job and I'm hoping things will settle in enough for one small after-work ride and another one on the weekend.
-
Okay the numbers are in for my record week of 2008: Wednesday: 30 miles Friday: 24.6 miles Saturday: 27.5 miles Sunday: 5.1 miles Total: 87.2

Personally I'm a bit embarrassed by the photo I took as my "before" photo. Since I am just getting started I don't have an after photo yet. If the differences are striking enough then I'll possibly post both, but for the time being the before photo will not be made public!! Yikes!!
-
Hey Lavender, thanks for noticing! Yes it was me who brought the information about the 100 push ups site to the board, and Kristin quickly turned it in to the challenge that it has become!! I heard about it through the lifehacker.com blog. Tonight I finished the week 1 program (yay!!): 15 13 10 10 20 (15 required) I'm…

Beautiful weather today in South East Michigan. I told people at work that it was a gift and I just had to ride my bike to work!! :smile: So, the stats for the week so far: Wednesday: 30 miles Friday: 24.6 miles I have surpassed my goal of 40 miles ALREADY and I am planning to bike with a friend tomorrow morning and with…

Yes you can. A woman died from drinking too much water during a radio station promotion "Hold your wee for a Wii" http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16614865/
-
Jennifer, the challenge comes from hundredpushups.com You can go right to their website and view the whole program there. Good luck!!
-
Well I was able to bike to work yesterday and since I didn't get a flat tire I got some good mileage in. The weather was very cooperative. It looks like we'll get some showers this evening so I didn't ride to work today but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow. Wednesday: 30 miles
-
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!!
-
I was short last week but I'm going to shoot for 40 again this week. I'm still recovering from a cold which started on Friday. Don't tell my wife, but the 18 mile ride we did yesterday was probably a bit much too soon. The bad news is that I am starting a new assignment in Dearborn starting next week. This assignment is…
-
Well I didn't make my goal due to sickness on Friday and Saturday. But we did manage a pretty decent family ride Sunday so my week was not a complete failure. Tuesday: 5.25 Friday: 2.00 Sunday: 18.00 Total: 25.25
-
Okay well I was unable to do day three because I got sick on Friday. As of yesterday I was still in no mood to do push ups. Hopefully tonight...
-
Okay continuing on my second week of week one, day 2: 12 12 10 10 15 (min 10)
-
I'm in Rochester Hills, just north of Detroit.

Got a short ride to the local library down the old railroad trail tonight with the family (child and a stack of books in the trailer). Tuesday: 5.25 miles Saved about $1.25 on gas ... who hoo!!! I can buy a bottle of pop tomorrow!! :laugh:

Vanessa, If you're just considering the pill to avoid getting pregnant you may want to look in to Fertility Awareness (FA). FA is extremely effective and has no ill side effects. FA is about knowing your body and your natural fertility cycle. More info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fertility_awareness

Okay, well week 2 of the challenge I am re-doing week 1 because I was unable to attain the push ups required in the 5th set each of the first three days. I can definitely see improvement: Week 2(1) Day 1 10 10 8 6 14 (7 min required) :happy:
-
Well I made my goal last week. I'm going to stick with 40 miles for this week as well just because, looking at the weather forecast, it looks like it's going to be a bit wet here this week. It looks like after yesterday's 14 mile family ride we are in training for a 22 mile route on the "Peach of a Ride" in Armada,…
-
I actually made it! Thursday: 6.8 miles Friday: 23 miles (road to work and blew out my back tire on the way home) Saturday: 8.4 miles Sunday: 14 miles (front tire started leaking slowly on the way home) Total: 52.2 miles Well I haven't ridden in a while and my rear tube was pretty deteriorated when I replaced it on…
-
Okay ... checking in. Week 1 Day 3 15 13 10 10 13 (target: at least 15) I am improving, but was unable to hit the 5th level target for each day. I will re-do week one next week and hopefully move on from there. Maybe a 100 Push Ups t-shirt would be a good reward ... and a way to spread the news. I haven't mentioned this…
-
I was thinking that Sunday was not included in the weekly challenge but it is, right? I was concerned about hitting my target this week since it doesn't look like we're going to have time to ride this Saturday. But if Sunday is included then I just may make it. I actually rode my bike to work today!! 13 miles so far. At…
-
Ella, I feel the same way. I am on Day 2 and was supposed to do 12, 12, 10, 10, 10+ but on the 5th round I could only get 5 (so 49 ... I am typing this with noodle-arms :laugh: ). I can tell I am making progress but it is looking like I'm going to have to do-over week 1 before I can move on.

Hey I love your Disney pics, mechanicmom. We'll be going to Disney World mid-September for two weeks! That's one reason I'm trying to get in shape NOW! The first time we went we were in so much pain because we weren't ready for so much walking around!! :smile:
