One Hundred Pushups

Okay, so I'm working through the One Hundred Pushup Challenge. I finished week 2 and took the exhaustion test to see if I've improved....when I started, I could only do 10 pushups. Today I did 23! Go me! I'm almost 1/4 way to my 100 goal!

If this had been the bicycle I was on today, I might have enjoyed it. As it was, I spent 25 minutes on a recumbent (sp?) exercise bike and my left leg went to sleep! The discomfort of that was only exceeded by my numb buttocks when I stood up!

I am trying to work out 6 days a week, so, I will have to go back to the elliptical machine for my cardio.....nothing goes to sleep on that!

DONE!

I didn't get Breaking Dawn until Saturday....my daughter had our copy....but I couldn't stand it, so I ran to Wal-Mart and picked up another one. Though I got started later than my 15 year old, I finished before her!

It was fantastic! I'm not giving anything away and I'm glad Meyer kept things moving so that several things could have played out in the end. I was never sure of the ending until I got there. Definitely the BEST series I've ever read!

I just hope she publishes Edward's view before we all go into withdrawal again! I'm sure I'll read anything she decides to write....now we just have to wait for the MOVIE!

It's Almost Here!

I can't believe that tomorrow night we will be sitting around reading the book we have waited so long to have our hands on.

Actually, I'm going to be a good mother and allow my daughter to go to the bookstore and pick up our copy. Then she's going to a friend's house to stay up all night and read it. I'll have to wait one more day, but I figure she'll owe me BIG TIME! ha!

Happy Reading, everyone! (Book cover taken from Amazon.com.)
