I think they'll need to stop by my house. I hope the policemen are cute at least...

I did 45 yesterday.

I also did 60 this morning (my brother's fault!), but I'll count those towards the stability ball challenge. If anyone is curious about the exercise my brother suggested, I posted this in the SB thread:

This is a nice list of exercises: Yoga on the Ball
It's what I've been doing this morning. My brother suggested an extra step in the second exercise: coming out of the inverted V position, roll forward on the ball and do 5-10 push-ups. This adds up to 25-80 push-ups. I did 60... and that's why I only did 10 minutes on the ball. Ouch! Should have known better than listen to my little brother.

I'll do a few more push-ups today, for this challenge. Off to hunt for some food now.

I'm not going to make it. I have a sore knee (old injury) that is acting up and have been resting it. I force myself to take walks a few times a week but yeah, I'm not going to make it this month. I hope next month goes better! Good luck everyone.

It's fantastic that you are taking those walks even if when you can't do squats or push-ups! You could also do upper body resistance exercises, even if you do them in a chair. That way, while your knee heals, your arms will keep getting stronger.

I try to as much as possible. Nothing heavy but like carrying more groceries then I normally do, leaving the clothes basket on the floor so I am bending and lifting more that way. My knee is feeling better and hopefully soon I will be able to get back to normal. Gets pretty bored sitting around with my leg sticking straight out in front of me...but I did notice I needed a pedicure .

Re: September PUSH UPS Challenge! Sign up here!

Thank goodness for all of you! September has been a disaster for me between my schedule, traveling back to my other life, etc. I hope to be back on my mice steady routine in October and will shoot for 1000--a considerable jump in view of my sad performance for Sept. ;(

I relandscaped our entire front yard this month - so I only got to 1/3 of my goal but still had plenty of sore muscles.

The yard looks nice though!
