Forgot about this thread, but that doesn't mean I forgot about working out.
Every other day I run 5km and every other day I workout doing convict conditioning that a lot of people are doing from the Learning to Win skype group. At the start of the year I didn't do any of that.

Ok, so I did that 100 pushups test last week and I managed 9.
That puts me in the middle category for week one. Already I'm having some mindset issues. Even assuming I ever could do 100 pushups, which seems pretty unlikely, why the hell would I want to...?
Anyway, just gonna grind through the negative variance for now. I managed the first lot of pushups in week 1, middle column. That's a set of 6,6,4,4,6. (minium required for the last 1 was 5 but I managed 6). The guide recommends I take a break for 1 day now and do another set after that.

I honestly can't decide whether this is trolling or not ♦ in any way! good luck!
Is it because I can only do 9 pushups? 
Actually I bet I could do 15 by now. Apparently physical excercise is good for your mental game. I never work out at all though, I just go on the occasional walk. Until now that is!
If all goes to plan I will be crushing pushups in 6 weeks.
I can not do push ups, maybe 10 and I start to shake... I'm good at sit ups though.. so well done for you! 
Ok so I tried the week 1 day 2 pushups which should be 6,8,6,6,7+.
My muscles were still aching a bit from a couple of days ago but I had a go anyway. Didn't manage it. Failed on the last set, so that was a bit of a bad beat.
I got close though. So I'm gonna wait 2 or 3 days then try the day 2 pressups again. If I fail next time I will drop down stakes and restart the week. I think it's going ok though, I already feel a bit better at pushups.
Total Pushups - 71Ok so I just did the day 2 workout sucessfully. I made sure I took a good 90 seconds between each set. I was pretty drained so I took a 3 minute break before the last set. (The plan did say take longer if required, and I felt like I /needed/ those 3 minutes).
The last set left me drained but definitely felt easier than last time. The main difficulty was that by this time my pushups had attracted the attention of my kitten. She was having a lovely time taking swipes at my face as my head went up and down.
I don't think she's old enough yet to realise her claws can do some serious damage. I really didn't want to fail this set of pushups again so I was having to take evasive action by jerking my head around. I could have maybe done a couple more on the last set if it wasn't for this.
6,8,6,6,7 = 33
Total Pushups - 104So in 2 days I will try the day 3 pushups. From what I've gathered so far it seems to me like the plan moves a bit fast. Not sure it's really that realistic to be able to do 100 pushups in 6 weeks for someone weak like me.

pictures please!!
You made me realise 2 things.
1. I should get a decent camera.
2. Kittens never keep still to have their picture taken.
In terms of the pushups. I had to pass on them today. The heat gave me a pretty bad headache for most of the day - hottest day in the UK for a long while it seems. Wasn't in good shape to grind any cards either.
Pushups are still on for tomorrow though - so I will post then.
gorgeous kitten! whats her/his name then?
I'm going right at it today, gym time!! I am no able to do about 15 push ups but I do on the bosu ball..

It's a girl, she's called Frenzy. Maybe I should get one of those balls bc I suck at pushups. ♠_frown:
So, I almost did day 3 pushups but I was 2 short on the last set. I guess I'll have to do the day 3 pushups again. I did 8,10,7,7,8. The last set should have been 10 though. I'm definitely already stronger though.
Total Pushups 144hahaha, I have a fav singer who's called just like that
GL for this week's challenge!

Nice enough, I prefer singers with a little more depth and creativity though. 
Not the greatest fan of gospel music, but the singing is excellent. Unfortunately the talents are utterly wasted on the solo albums these singers released.
Again, a lot of Rihanna's music on her albums are utter garbage. Tracks like this show she can really sing if she wants to though.
Pushups 8,10,7,7,10
Beginning to see a pattern here. I fail each set once then complete it the second time. Maybe 12 weeks is more realistic for 100 pushups, we will see. Anyhow in 2 days time I will be on to "week 2".
