SUCCESS!

So, I missed my last x2 pushup routines. Friday and Monday. No real excuse, Friday I did not have the motivation and Monday I went out after work for some drinks with colleagues and there was no way I was going to do them by the time I got home.

I really should routinely do the workout in the morning!

Today I had a crack - week 2 day 1 - and I PASSED!!

Pretty happy about that! :)

I only just got there, but a result is a result. Gonna claim this one!!!

Now for some protein and off to work.

no progress

monday did week 1 day 1. completed first 4 sets. got 7 on the last.

wednesday did week 1 day 1. completed first 4 sets. got 7 on the last.

This is depressing. I put so much effort into consuming additional protein since Saturday. It's just not funny.

update

week 2 day 2 - nailed the first 4 but only managed 7 on the last. (target was 13) progress I guess.

Todays Food

Today I started with cottage cheese, yoghurt and cashew nuts. For lunch I had a 350g steak. Afternoon Tea I had a triple fillet bondi burger and I've just had 3 eggs on toast for supper.

hopefully enough protein for these puppies to strengthen up.

frustrated

just annoyed I didn't get more done. I was really struggling last couple of pushups. After 5 on my last set I got so tired I had to break for 10 seconds. I was going to give up but felt I had a couple more to give and I did'em.

Gee I wish I made it!! :(

week 2 day 2 workout - PROGRESS

annoyed I didn't pass. :(

Got 10, 12, 9, 9 and 8.

Passed the first four, but target on the last was 13. Dooooh!

Progress though.

more pro tein

just ate 2 eggs on toast and had an up'n'go..

Really want a beer tho. :(

protein nom nom nom

I just got home from work. Its just after 6pm and that means I haven't consumed any protein since 3.30!!

I quickly whipped up some cottage cheese, yoghurt and sprinkled in some cashew nuts for good measure. Seems to be a staple these days. Whatever - it's got protein!!!

Update

Hi guys.

So, I didn't do the 100 pushups on Friday. I had a rough week, rough day. I was tired by the time I got home, had a couple of drinks and before you knew it there was no way I was going to be able to put in 100%.

I did a few pushups on Saturday just to 'maintain rhythm' but I didn't give it 100%.

Today I was back on the bandwagon and for the first time ever I did my pushups in the morning before work. I am stuck on the workout for week 2 day 2.

Here was the target:

10, 12, 9, 9 and 13.

90 second break between sets. I achieved:

10, 12, 9, 9 and 4.

I was a little disappointed with the results today. So I had for breakfast a big bowl of cottage cheese with yoghurt and cashew nuts (protein!). And then this morning at work I had a can of tuna (yuck!) but can you say protein? With a handful of cashews again.

Going to try and smash the protein this week and hopefully Wednesday I can really make some progress on my set.

Will keep you posted.

pass and fail

whoops! I forgot to update my blog last Friday when I passed my workout.

This means I get to move on to week 2 because I passed the test!!

Today I did move on to week 2. As usual, things were going nice and dandy up untill the last set.. target:

9, 11, 8, 8, 11.

I got:

9, 11, 8, 8 and 4.

ouch.

I'll try the same workout again on Wednesday!

fail 2

I failed again!

Same workout as last time:

8, 10, 7, 7 & 10.

I made them all except the last set I only managed 7. Going to do the same again on Friday.

I suspect I need to get more support from my chest muscles..
