The Lazy Triathlete

Probably the world's laziest triathlete. Trying desperately to become more motivated.

Just pile it on

One part of my fitness (aka wedding prep) routine that I left out of my early post was this push-up obsession that I’ve started. For now, I’ve given up on the 100 PushUp Challenge (that can wait), but I am trying to get 100 total in every day.

The thing is, the arms are where the eyes go on the bride in wedding photos. Don’t believe me? It’s true. And you end up with women sticking their arms out like chicken wings to prevent ‘fat-arm’ which is nearly impossible to avoid — unless you have a push-up regime. And this is all fine, and its going decently well to boot.

So what’s my point? Well, a friend just recently finished his June2000 – a total of two thousand push-ups over the course of a month. Much kudos. But this lead to a July challenge – 5000 crunches in a month. And then he asked if I wanted in. I can’t say no. I’m a sucker for hitting a goal. So on top of the 100 push-ups a day, I will now have to average 162 crunches as well.

At least I have some hope of looking good if I can do all this.

Two in a row!

Went for another run yesterday (ok, you caught me – it was a jog, we all know that). It felt good, but I’m definitely not near ready for a 5k. Good thing I have 5 weeks.

I did come to the realization that running a loop on the path near my house wasn’t enough of a workout. So I searched the iPhone app store & found a few options for a gym-less/equipment-less workouts. I tried my first one last night & I am definitely feeling it today.

And to round it all out, I’m trying this too. That would just be cool to say that I could do it (and not be lying).

Finger’s crossed for being about to stick to this plan. I have a minimum of 10 pounds to lose before this wedding.
