August Push up Challenge

[hopejoy]

Hi everyone! August 1st today! Time to recommit yourself... don't make me do these all by my self! I don't know about anyone else but I lost 1 inch on R arm and 1/2 inch on L arm... and 1 1/2 off my bust!!! I'm thrilled...
I am pledging 45/day 5 days per week... (decided rest days should be total rest...) so that makes my total goal 900 again. Hopefully this time I'll make it! No more falling off bicycles for me.

Re: August Push up Challenge

I'll go a round with ya, Hopejoy. I don't want anyone to go it alone

Those are great inches being lost through pushups!

Even though I started on Monday with keeping count of my girly pushups, I'll start with just todays and work from here.

I pledge to do 500 for the month of August.

So, I've done 20 out of 500 for this challenge so far.

Hi,

Congrats on the inches lost Hopejoy

Sorry I slugged out so badly. I'm going to go for 600 this month - my target was way too high last time!

Re: August Push up Challenge

I'm a little nervous about this one, because push-up are just not my thing......So I'm keeping the goal kinda low compared to some of you guys...but I will try to go past my goal of 600.

Re: August Push up Challenge

Hi Tigres, Emma and Alexa! Welcome! Welcome! So glad you're here! Whoo hoo.
Tigres... pushups are just not anyones thing! Unless you're in the army! That's why we need them so much! I am really starting to notice some definition (under all that fat) I can feel muscle forming! It's so exiting!
Emma and Alexa... I didn't make my goal either, but you're back! And that is the best part of life... everyday we get to start over! (by the way you two... I have a question about something my daughter said... she said she heard that redheads are discriminated against in the UK? is that true? She is going to london in the fall and is planning on dying her already dyed red hair either platinum blonde... or her natural color brown with blonde highlights... my preference... but I won't tell her that! anywho... when she told me that I thought I'd ask my UK friends... that's you two... what you think of that???? the discimination of redheads thing.... I thought maybe it might be the press getting carried away with nothing again... what do you think...?)
So, this am 45 pushups for me now that's 90/900. so far so good.

Re: August Push up Challenge

Hey Hopejoy,

I would say to some extent it is media hype related to a particular family who were 'hounded' for being ginger, when apparently its' because they were unpleasant neighbours.

There are quite a few jokes about being 'ginger' and kids can get picked on in schools, ect - but I would say it's pretty minor - a bit like wearing glasses. I had dyed red hair for two years and only one person was negative (behind my back). Also there are quite a few redheads around! My BF loves red hair Lots of people do.

She should have it how she likes it!

20 pushups today.

Re: August Push up Challenge

Also meant to say how old is your daughter - is she going on an educational visit? Hope see enjoys London.
