Since I'm not teaching summer school this year - my weeks are rather open, so I've decided that I need a project (or two) to occupy my time.

The first of which - the Push Up Challenge.

The challenge is simple - complete 100 consecutive push ups in six weeks.

For some of you this may be an easy feat, but for me - this is akin to climbing Mount Everest. I have the upper body strength of 90 year old.

I downloaded the 100 Push Ups app to keep track of my progress. Monday was Day 1 and after completing 10 push ups in TOTAL - my arms and chest felt like jello the next day.

And just to keep myself accountable and track my progress, I thought I would post a little video update here and there.

Yes, it's sad. I know.

But hopefully, I will be able to touch my nose to the floor and do more than one push up at a time in just a few short weeks. Here's hoping!

What are you up to this summer? Crossing anything off your life list or completing any challenges?

The last time I posted was in February - yeesh. While I may have taken a blog vacation, ok, blog coma, that doesn't mean I wasn't thinking about writing and this little space of mine. As I logged on to Bloglovin' each day to read about other's lives and happenings I was reminded about my own piece of the web where I should be sharing but I just wasn't interested in writing about my life for awhile. Chalk it up to being busy at school, arthritis draining the daylight out of me, or whatever excuse I want to insert here - I just didn't feel like it.

But now?

School's ending in 5 days and I'm not working summer school.

I'm ready to lay by the pool, read books, workout, eat better, blog more, and just be happy for 8 continuous weeks.

I think I'm ready.

Oh yeah. Definitely.
