Doesn't that feel GREAT???

I wimped out this morning and only did my minimum pushups. I got very little sleep, so I just couldn't roll out of bed. But, I did my 69 pushups in 4 sets (12, 20, 20, 17). I'll start at the gym on Monday and will do my home-made workout tomorrow before coming in for a long day at work.

Just went to buy dog food. Picked up, carried around, and waited in line holding a 40-lb bag like it was nothing.

An older gentleman offered me a shopping cart, but I was all, "Nah, I got this."

His dog was super cute tho.

He was probably thinking the same thing about you, but too scared to say it!

Or he was intimidated by my awesome strength.

It could be he was freaked out by the avi

I do walk around with the same look on my face. You'd be surprised how well my coworkers are listening to my 'recommendations' now.....

Do you pull your hair back and stare bug-eyed at everyone??

That image makes me laugh almost as much as the avi!

Of course. How do you think I snagged the hubs?

Beer, under a cardboard box, propped up with a stick. A string tied to the stick, then you pulled it out when he went under the box to get the beer! Then, tadaa! you were married. How else would it work?

Sounds right to me.

Mani, I've seen pics of your dogs on facebook and am wondering what you were doing buying a 40 lb bag? That lasts them like 3 days right?

Do you supplement their diet with live food such as rabbits, squirrels, stray cats, and the neighbor's stray children?

One of them is known for snagging baby bunnies. Previously we had a dog-walker, and he was famous at the company for being able to successfully capture a bunny on the 6-foot leash--TWICE.

140 pushups, 100 arm curls on each arm, 3:45 total of planks and 3:35 total wall chairs this morning.

Preceded by a battery of supplement pills and followed by a vanilla whey protein drink, a bowl of oatmeal and a banana....and a 20-30 oz glass of water on the way to work.

Oddly enough, I weighed a bit more than I usually do at my morning weigh in when I arrived at the bank. I am not usually much of a morning meal person...trying to change that.

No pushups for me lately. I've done something to my left shoulder that's affecting range of motion and causing pain. Got to go to the doctor 'bout this.

Let us know tomorrow how TODAY'S dr visit is...

no peer pressure there...

Altering your diet schedule will make a change all on its own, so that's a good thing to get in the habit of! If I skip breakfast, I won't feel hungry until 2-3 in the afternoon. If I eat breakfast, I'm starving by noon. Getting your metabolism up and going is very important.

I tried one of my new supplement samples Saturday morning before my long run, I might have to actually go back and buy the stuff! It's supposed to help remove the lactic acid from your muscles and minimize fatigue, well it really seemed to work! I was at 7 miles before I stopped for a stretch and some water, usually I'm doing that around 5. Finished my run feeling great and wishing I had more time to keep going and push harder. Was very pleased with it.

" NX6™ is a cutting edge muscle volumizer designed to pump more blood to your muscles and initiate oxygenation to give your body a vascular rush" I felt a rush, that's for sure!

^^^ Then he punched out Michael Bisping....

I never got a first name, but I'll take your word for it.

I only took 2, the dose is actually 4, so I can't imagine what a full one would be like! It was in combination with my regular pre-workout drink that I do on running days (was given the ok by the rep to combine them and assured that it wouldn't cause an exploding heart issue or anything), so didn't want to do a full dose when unsure of how I'd take it, and knowing that I had to sit still and work for a few hours after I finished my run. Didn't want to be too nutty or anything!

The hospital has been great for pushups but not much else. Friday was 72 - 50 - 50 - 50 - 30 - 30 - 50 - 50
Saturday was 72 - 50 - 50 - 50 - 40 - 40 - 40 - 50 - 50
Yesterday was 73 - 50 - 50 - 50 - 50 - 50 - 30 - 30 - 30 - 30

That's 1297 pushups if I got it all right. 73 this morning.

I think I want a weithed vest for doing these. I cant do 70+ with a vest (I dont think), but it would be great for the sets of them!

I've thought about getting one as well, but my weight days are sufficiently destroying me as it is, and I don't know that it would be good for my running either, so I'm leaving it as an idea for some day in the future at this point.

But you, you clearly need more of a challenge!

I have a vest at my disposal (was left behind by Mrs (to be) Pup's stepson when he was banished from the home (he deserved it).

I'm not going to be using it until I know I can get in all my reps without destroying myself.

Vest in 2013.

I wonder if you have to be able to actually spell "weighted vest" before they will sell me one....? Gotta worko on that.

I wouldnt run in one. Too hard on joints.
Speed work or racquetball maybe though. Squat days might be interesting.

You'd be amazed how many pushups any of you could do if you have nothing else to do but read and realize you dont like the book you brought.

^^^^T-Shirt worthy!

When Kneepolean Blownaparte gets his inner bling on May 1st, are you gonna come do pushups at the suburban KC hospital? It occurs to me that I may want to keep the location relatively quiet... Jen wants to check out TTMark, 3B1 is collecting pushup locations, and I'm going to need some serious entertainment so maybe I should rethink this secret location.

Hmm...
Overland Park Regional Hospital, Orthopedic Ward, May 2nd!
