Dear Internet,
Dieting is hard, especially when people keep waving reubens and sushi under my nose. I am proud that I was able to keep tasty foods to a reasonable portion size and save the rest for later, but I still worry that today will become common and I won't lose any weight. Well, I'll just have to buckle back down. Friday is usually my " ( Read more... ) -

And here's your Chrispy health update for the week. The scale read 168 today, for the first time in forever, which makes me hopeful that I might finally be getting past my weight plateau. Despite the fact that I totally screwed up week 4 try 2 of 100 pushups by trying and failing to do the harder tier, I still managed to increase my stress test ( Read more... ) -

Pushups stress test: 30 pushups. The lowest tier of week 5 pushups is for 31-35 pushups. The end of week 4 was so hard, that combined with my low stress test I've decided to repeat week 4, albeit at a higher tier than before. I figure I have a better chance of reaching 100 pushups this way. I've also reached a weight plateau at 170 lbs. Not ( Read more... ) -
Weekend update
Finished week 3 of 100 pushups. It's still hard, but I'm not nearly as sore as I was when I started. Go me. Another stress test at the end of next week, so I'll have a more concrete feeling for how I'm doing then. I seem to be losing weight too. Won't know exactly how I'm doing until I do some graphs at the end of the month, but even I can see ( Read more... ) -

Week 3 pushups stress test
Did my stress test to set up week 3 of the 100 pushups challenge today. Did 20 pushups. On one hand, I'm excited to see I've doubled my original stress test. On the other hand, I'm 1/3 way through the 6 week plan and only 1/5 of the way to doing 100 pushups. I will definitely have to be repeating a week or two. Onward to week 3 on Monday ( Read more... ) -

Doh. I just inadvertently fangirl-embarrassed myself on Twitter. That's what I get for trying to spread good karma.
In other news, week two of 100 pushups is safely behind me. Tomorrow I do another stress test to see how many pushups I can do in a row and figure out which plan to use for weeks three and four. Woo hoo. -
Stupid weather
So we had one of the coldest (and snowiest) winters in recent memory, but I'm already running my air-conditioning. Stupid state. -

Week 1 of 100 push-ups done! On to week 2 on Monday. I've also resolved to lose some weight, so I've started to mind the Zone Diet more carefully and keep track of my weight using the method in The Hacker's Diet. Good times.
