Push Up Challege D2 & D3

I completed most of D2 push ups while creating this blog. Nothing too terrible. I was not too sore at time.

I checked the tracking board for the push up challenge and was pleasantly surprised!! Without getting an exact count it appeared to be about thirty people signed up. Thus far everyone is keeping up. I sense next week is when we will start losing some people. Hopefully as a group we can keep everyone motivated to make it through.

In the Army we always said "TWO WEEKS" every time we had a major change. The first two weeks are the thoroughest. We tried to do nothing more than make it two weeks. 2 weeks- 14 days-335 hours-20,160 minutes was the goal. Strangley at the end of the two weeks everything seemed to have its place. Thinking back through my life it seems to hold true. Anytime some sort of change occurs in my life it takes me about two weeks to get used to it. In Iraq we would get uprooted and moved a lot, it was extremely frustrating at the time but after about two weeks a routine would be set and it would be "ok", Now my schedule rotates every three months the "two week" rule still works. When I started really working out the first two weeks were definitely the toughest. Anyone else have any thoughts on the two weeks rule? post a comment I would like to know if it is about the same for everyone.....

I found out on D3 that doing all the push ups at one time is much harder. D3 push ups were done as a part of my crossfit workout. WOW today I am feeling the pain!!!!!!!

The last two crossfit workouts had a lot of pull ups involved. I do not know if I pulled a muscle in my neck or left shoulder but it hurts!!! My chest and triceps are a little sore. Hopefully if I break up the pushups sets it will not be as bad.

Cross fit workout for today is: four rounds of running a 400 meter and 50 squats.

For the first time since the days in the Army I am going to get a flu shot. I have heard that they can make you a little sick so hopefully that does not happen. The City is paying for it so I figured "what the hell". I will let you know if I get sick for sure.

Before work today, I am going to try and head out to Olathe and go to Affordable Supplements. Affordable Supplements is by far the best place I have found to by supplements. GNC is way too expensive. Affordable Supplements also has a web site affordablesupplements.com it has the same products as the store and is a little less expensive. I waited to long to order so I have to make the trek to Olathe KS. BOOOO suburbs!!

Definitely random post today!!!
