Push-ups and Poundage

(For more information about my dieting and weight loss, click here.)

I was talking to a exercise guru yesterday and asking him a bunch of questions. Basically, at the end of the conversation, I found out that push-ups and lunges are two of the best exercises out there. He did say that you can cheat on your push-ups if you can’t manage normal floor push-ups by leaning on a wall with your hands, then moving to a table, then a chair, then finally to the floor. And if those get easy, put your legs on a chair and your hands on the floor.

So, after not being able to do push-ups in a long, long time, I tried them. I managed to do 5 on the floor. 5! For me, that’s a huge accomplishment. Made me happy. Almost as much as my weight today. I know I skipped the diary yesterday and didn’t even do a weigh-in. But today, I had lost 2 1/2 more pounds since two days ago. Yay!
