push-ups, down to 65 from 70 (original) (raw)
I fell off the wagon a bit due mostly to a very full and emotionally exhausting / distracting week.
Finished week 2 of the 100 push-ups challenge, did an exhaustion test (27), ended up in column 3 for Week 3. Didn't wanna be in column 3 because it looked hard!
Pretty much I've put this off for a solid week now. Today I decided I needed to a few sets when the opportunity arose (after my yoga class) even though there's no signal in the basement where the gym is and I couldn't pull up the set #s on my phone. I just thought, I did 70 last time, I'll aim for 20/20/15/15/20 and call it good for today.
I did 20/20/15/10/fall over. 5 less than last time. So, blowing off your primary workout routine for an entire week? Apparently not a good way to get stronger. Just sayin. 65 is still a lot better than zero, though. And a max of 20 is still better (slightly) than where I started.
I keep losing weight, steadily, as a side effect of the exercise (cw: 136). It's kind of ... weird.
At least, I really hope it's from exercise only and not from emotional distractedness making me forget to eat, but I'm pretty sure I've been eating. (Ponders pulled pork sandwich for lunch.) Yup, definitely eating, my usual 2 meals a day plus 4 cups of coffee. ;-)
I think it's definitely better to keep doing *something* rather than stop altogether just because I couldn't quite keep up. I'm going to give myself kudos for that, and also for remembering to eat meals, and occasionally to do yoga and to meditate and to SMILE.
