Who's interested in a Push-up challenge?

   

     Yesterday, I talked about push-ups and I decided to dig deeper to see how many I could do in proper form. Guess how many? Two!! For the next one month, I'm going to push myself till I get to 15 in one set. While I was writing this post, I stumbled on a website that offers to help you get to a hundred and I joined their challenge! Check it out @ hundredpushups.com

      I'm yet to see how possible that will be to do a hundred pushups!! I'm also a bit wary because I don't want to be too muscular! (Giggle!)
     So, who's interested in joining my push-up challenge? How many are you going to aim to do in one set? Keep me posted please!

What it takes to lose a pound of weight!!!

  
     I'm the kind of person who believes in appraising situations, making goals and working towards them. After I had my son two years ago, I realized that in spite of all the exercise I was doing, I wasn't losing any weight. That was how I found out that before I could lose one pound of weight, I needed to burn 3500 calories. This is not a fixed formula: For some overweight people, you can lose one pound by burning slightly less while some other people need to burn more than 3500 calories to lose one pound.

My weight loss journey: End of week 1

     Since I gave birth to my daughter 4 weeks ago, I've completely avoided doing any exercise but at the beginning of last week, I felt strong enough to start some light exercise. I weighed 176 pounds when I started and I worked out for 30 minutes for 4 days during the week using Leisa Hart's Fit mama postnatal workout DVD.  I also did some bicep curls using a 5 pound dumbbell. Today, I weigh 183 pounds (83.2kg), my waist measures 37 inches and my hips 42 inches!
