No, no one was pregnant and I didn’t have a child. I did, however, attempt to do 2 pushups. Not only did I fail miserably, I pinched a nerve in my neck, which led to the 6 most agonizing months of my life. Specifically, one month wherein it felt like white hot metal was being jammed into my forearm. I lost feeling in my fingers and to this day I get numbness and tingling in my pointing finger on my left hand.

Long story short, after my recovery period, I started lifting weights and getting more cardio in. I’ve decided to take the 100 Push-Ups Challenge along with my workout partner, and we’re on day 2 tomorrow. Our first test, I was able to eek out 12 good pushups, which was shocking, considering my last outing. I guess I AM getting noticably stronger. Awesome. I will keep a blog about this going as the days go by. I’m interested in seeing the final results.
