Push-ups Are Hard

Today was about 35 minutes of mostly cardio but he snuck in some push-ups. Did you know, those are hard. I often will just do the "girl" push-ups (as they were called in my day)if I ever did them and today, I did three real ones in a row. Small victories. It feels a bit small because I was supposed to do 8 but Tuesday I was certain I couldn't do one real one so there you go.
I was sore today, but not terrible and I like the soreness because it tells me that I did something that worked my muscles.
I feel like I'm right where I normally am when I start something new. I'm super jazzed about it and am loving it. I like having the calendar and checking the boxes as I do them. The real challenge comes next week and beyond. I'm also trying really hard to plan for the pitfalls where I know they'll be. Friday will be challenging to fit it in. I'd love an "adult beverage" (as Barb calls them) tonight but I think I will abstain...tonight. Empty calories. But know, I'm thinking about it.

  1. So funny you thought of adult beverages because I almost asked you the other day if you were trying to abstain because of the empty calories. I broke down the other night and had a Mike's LIGHT hard lemonade. They go down way too easy. Stay strong.
