My first week on the 100 Push-Up Challenge passed without incident. I really want to do girlie push ups for the entire 7 weeks. LOL! Maria Bee says no, I can work my way up to standard push-ups. I think that I am going to start feeling the pain next week.
At this point, doing 100 push-ups seems both possible and impossible. Keep hope alive.
Working on fabulous arms? Tweet me and use #acapcolist1fabarms!
Okay. I had some minor setbacks (unrelated to the program) that threw me off track for my push up training program during the spring. I am now back on it, dog gone it.
To keep myself on track, I am going to report my progress every Monday on this blog. Public eyes will keep me honest. Maybe. Check back with me on Mondays starting July 11.
Maria Bee says, "There is no such thing as girlie push ups." I certainly hope so. The 100 Push-Up Challenge is gonna make a believer out of me. By the end of the seven weeks, I hope that I can crank out some push ups like Maria.
I need some motivational music for Acapcolist #1 - Fabulous Arms. I have chosen Can't Get Any Harder DJ Rehab by none other than - DJ Rehab. It is a hip-hop mix (play below or download here) that has an amazing track list from - De la Soul to Pink to Lil Wayne to The Doors. It's like Forrest Gump's box of chocolates ... you don't know what you are going to get next! I like the frequency of the songs changes when doing push-up sets.
Warning: It has some rough/bad/vulgar language in a few places. It is a hip-hop mix after all.
During a drive to the library, I started thinking about what I wanted to accomplish for the summer. Being that this is the first week of summer and all. Just as I was about to turn off the car, Nickelback's song, If Today Were Your Last Day (from their Dark Horse album), started playing on the radio (see the music video on YouTube.com). I started shaking my head, recalling my reaction to the "Save the Date/Return of Christ" campaign. In case you need a refresher, read The Daily News post by Kevin Modesti - Billboards across the Valley trumpet Judgment Day.
Sadly, the sum of my reaction was essentially zero. On May 21, 2011 at 5:00 pm, I was sitting on a porch with my dad. If you'll recall, the drama was to start at 6:00 pm that day. It hit me that I hadn't prepared for the start of the end. Although I didn't believe the hype, I realized that I wasn't quite as prepared for the world's downfall if it was true.
According to Harold Camping and his Family Radio show, Judgement Day was to be on October 21, 2011. Right around the corner. I shrugged off the notion and I suggested that we go get a margarita. I actually ended up watching TV Land reruns with my mom because the trip to the restaurant was too much effort. <big sigh>
For Petey's sake and my own, I need to get right and ready in more ways than one! After recently watching 2012 and The Bucket List, I ready to commit to a program.
