I started doing the hundred push ups training program at the end of January. I'm happy to report that I am such a weakling with alien arms that even though I made it through week four, I couldn't do enough push ups in an exhaustion test to move to week five, so I went all the way back to repeat weeks three and four.
Somewhere along the way, I hurt my neck and shoulders (either sleeping scrunched up on a kid bed or doing incorrect push ups) and had to take about a week off. I'm completely recovered (I know you were all concerned) and took my post-week-four exhaustion test again yesterday. I am also happy to report that I successfully completed my remedial work and am ready to progress to week five! And I am now seven weeks into the six week program!
Don't worry, I can still only do 35 girl push ups, so technically I guess I'm still doing remedial work. It's kind of nice to be at a remedial level. This way I can have really, really low expectations for myself. In fact, I fully expect to have to repeat week five, and then do week six twice as well before I'll actually be able to do the promised hundred push ups. I mean, girl push ups.
The long-term plan is to then repeat the entire program doing real push ups. Realistically speaking, this could very well take the rest of my life.
In my post life, I think I'll take up the hundred squats program. Do you think I have alien legs, too?

I personally think that 35 pushups of any style or fashion is pretty amazing. So, good for you!
Yes, you do have the long skinny legs and arms. I think you can blame both you father and mother for them.
Nice Hair.
Miss you, yo. It's been a while.
I'm very proud of you and your pushup skills.
I love you!
Wow, way to go! ANY push-ups, especially post-babies, is a huge accomplishment. No push-up-ing has generally been a part of my life as a mother, not even a push-up bra. :) Although I, too, did just start doing girlie pushups at home, but I can only do 20 in a row at the MOST. So...my congrats! You rock!
