do one hundred consecutive push-ups (read all 7 entries…)
Re-committing 22 hours ago

There are approximately six weeks between now and the end of the year. My goal is to accomplish this with the half-pushups, and perhaps a good percentage of full pushups.



Take the two hundred situps challenge (twohundredsitups.com) (read all 2 entries…)
Woohoo! 22 hours ago

I just did 200, and although I feel like I might be a little sore/tight feeling tomorrow, I’m proud to have finished this goal! Now just to keep this up! :)



go a month without wearing jeans to work
Been working on this 4 days ago

I hatched this idea at the beginning of November, and so far have kept the goal up. We have a fairly casual dress code at work, but as one of the younger people there, dressing up can’t hurt! My only problem is that I own a lot more flattering jeans than other pants, as the weight I’ve lost running has reduced my wardrobe a bit.

With all the holidays between now and the end of the year, I’m also thinking of extending this goal until December 31. We’ll see if I can make it through November first…
