Have you seen Photos that Changed the World? Wow. Check it out.
Also, do you want to learn to do 100 pushups or 200 situps in six weeks? Because apparently this is possible, no matter what your current limit is. They have this plan…er…it’s supposed to increase the number of reps gradually…but I…well……….BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Because SERIOUSLY? Â One hundred is a lot of pushups! I can do like 8 girly pushups. But the hubby and I are going to try the program. It seems simple enough. You do an initial test to see how many reps you can currently do and then based on that, it suggests a program that increases day by day. Â I don’t see myself being able to build up as fast as the program wants me to do. But we’ll see what happens. It seems like a reasonable idea. Still, I’ll likely be begging for mercy before the end of the week. Hold me!Â
I’d say I’m going to update on our progress, but I probably won’t, because SWEET MOTHER OF MERCY TWO HUNDRED BLESSED SITUPS!!!! Let’s never speak of this again. Forget I said anything.

Hey, this sounds good. I would love to say that I will join you, but that would be delusional. Perhaps I will join in later on. Can you at least remind us of your pain, I mean your awesome results so that we can get motivated too?

Wow is right, I mean what else can be said about those photos? WOW!
And good luck with the pushup/situp regimen. Keep us posted. My abs want to live vicariously through you.

shannon,
Unfortunately I couldn’t see the pix, because my company is run by Nazis who live to suck the joy out of my life and blocked the site…
As to your regiment of activities of which we shall not speak. Allow me to share some words of encouragement.
Many a year ago…9; I joined the Marine Corps. At the time I was fat and happy…okay just fat. I litterally couldn’t even do one push-up (even of the girly variety; for those at home having trouble keeping up with the heavy terminology: a girly push up is when one rests on ones knees, as opposed to the regulation push up with fully extended legs). But they started me on what I can only imagine is a similar plan…and it works!
However, if you are looking for fun and enjoyment, you will find none of it here. The pay off is pain and mysery…oh yeah, and you’ll be able to do a few more push ups. You might also gain shoulders and lower back that make you look like a hungarian lumber jack.
So, I guess what I’m saying is: good luck with all of that.
Oh, and BTW, now that I’m out of the Corps, I haven’t done a single ‘activity of which we do not speak’, and most likely couldn’t if I tried.
good times.
