I did the HUNDRED!

My heart is till pounding, and my arms are feeling... really strong. The last twenty were probably the roughest. Actually, the last TWO were pretty tough, but YEAH "I did the hundred!" Last spring I was on week six, but stopped after suffering some bad seasonal allergies. I hope this doesn't seem silly, but a couple months ago in Sunday School I gave a lesson on remaining steadfast in our testimonies of Christ. A class discussion ensued about what it meant to be resolute, steadfast, and persevere. I recalled how I had started this challenge, but had failed to finished, and wasn't any of those three things. I decided I would start again. Of course, I couldn't restart where I had left off, and had to backtrack. Now I've made it, and it feels great!

100!

The logo says it all. I did 100 push-ups today. The first 70 went really quick, the last 10 were hard. My abs were shaking a little. I collapsed after hitting 100 (I was going to do a few extra). I decided at some point during my day in the office I was just going to do 100 today and not wait a few more days. my next goal will be doing 100 more easily and I think I'll do the 200 sit-ups program as well. How is everyone else doing?

Muski-fit Push-up Check-in

Look at that muscle! The push-ups are working...

Fellow 'skies,

Look at all those hyphen-ated words in the title. That sure let's me know this post is important. I thought it would be good to check up on everyone's progress towards the 100 push-ups goal. I have had one injury reported to me so far. Let's remember that a safe 'skie is a happy 'skie. Also, a strong 'skie is a safe 'skie because nobody will mess with you, and if they do you can just beat them up.

The Flying Muskie

After popping off 40 push ups Papi Joe threw in a few of the flying variety.

"I would like to challenge the fitness 'skies to try out a few of these."

Exercise Nutrition

To sustain proper nutrition during exercise remember:

• Stay adequately hydrated (min of 64oz water daily) I recommend filling a quart size canning jar/water bottle and filling it twice through out the day

• A balanced diet of fruits/veggies, carbs and protein. Protein is very important but it is not prudent to eat only protein as carbs help properly digest protein. (not to mention that there is no single food that contains all the nutrition your body needs)

• Remember: fruits/veggies and sweets are carbs - not just grains, breads, pastas, ect and protein does not just mean meat.
  

The conference talk "Good, Better, Best"
by Elder Oaks also applies to food as well!
