Mary - 'The Social Network' is a fantastic movie! I thought it would be slow because of the subject but found the pacing to be just right. Definitely rent it if you get a chance! I think the 200 sit up challenge is from the same people who created the 100 push up challenge. I'm not good with push ups because of my lower back. But don't be a stranger and keep us posted on your progress!
Lynn - I felt the same way after my workout on Monday! That sounds like a lot of strain on the same circuit. I remember my parents' house had two bathrooms and the master bedroom wired together. It was "fun" when everyone was trying to get ready to go out. Lots of blown fuses because two hairdryers would run at the same time.
Sue - Not sure if you got an email but registration for the Acura 10-Miler (Aug 14th) opens on March 1st. There's a special 24 hour registration rate of $30 and then it goes back up to $50 on March 2. I'm going to register and use the race as a practice for Midsummer Night's. How's the running going?
Elizabeth/Saylan - Safe travels and have a great race! Good luck to you both
AFM - Well, I'm finally on the race calendar! I registered for MCM this morning. I think they're up to 90% as of 9AM - crazy because it just opened yesterday so I don't think it's even been 24-hours. So assuming I make it to October, MCM will fulfill one of my fitness goals of running two marathons in 2011! :cheer: I'm just happy to finally have a race to put up on the board!
I didn't have time to go to the gym yesterday but figured it was just as well since I was still sore from Monday

I did start week 4 of the pushup challenge and day 1 wasn't too bad. For the fifth set, you do as pushups as you can and I made it to 50! Not sure I'll be able to do that again because that was tough but it was the most I'd ever done in a single set.
The eating is going well - Yesterday I managed to go no added sugar! I'm doing a little competition with my friend to see who can lose the most weight. I'm doing my own diet (no added sugars, no white rice, pasta, breads etc) and exercise while he's on Atkins. I was more curious to see who loses weight more quickly. I also looked at some of the foods you had to eat on Atkins … definitely not for me because I'm not a big meat or egg person. The challenge also meant that I had to weigh myself … so I'm embarassed to say that I'm up 7.1 lbs since last August. Oops!

On the one hand, it's not as bad as I thought it was … on the other hand, 7.1 lbs is not great. My goal is to drop 10 lbs by May.
Have a great day everyone!
