100 Push Ups

As many of you know, I am on a difficult journey to lose some weight and get back into shape. Working in a cubicle all day can make it extremely difficult, but I am trying nonetheless.

The past month I have biked and lifted more weights than I have in any previous month in my life. Not much progress has been made yet though. I think my body is still questioning my commitment! Anyways, I have lost 6 pounds during the month of August and hope to lose 10 in September... a reasonable goal I think.

One interesting site that I came across was hundredpushups.com. The site has one simple goal: to put you on a 6 week plan where you can do 100 consecutive push ups at the end. I just completed the initial test where you try to do as many as possible in a row to see where you are at. I managed only 25... but it could be worse. Tomorrow begins week 1. I really hope that trying this, biking even more, and not drinking beer at all during the month of September will get me to my goal!
