This is the final week for The Summer of Me challenge. How am I compared to 5 weeks ago? After incorporating variety in my fitness program in the form of the hundred pushups challenge, I feel stronger and more confident. Hey, who knew I could pump up 20 consecutive pushups in one go? Certainly not me.

I am in Week 4 of the hundred pushups challenge this week and had been working out on more than 70 pushups each time for three alternating days. After this will be an exhaustion test before proceeding to Week 5 but I want to repeat Week 4 because I feel I don’t have enough strength to step up. So, I’m following this same routine next week:

Week 4, Day 1: 16, 13, 13, 11, 16+ with 60 seconds rest

Week 4, Day 2: 16, 14,14, 12, 15+ with 90 seconds rest

Week 4, Day 3: 20, 15,15,15, 18+ with 120 seconds rest

This week is still bad fitness wise, aside from the pushups which I did religiously. I had been down with a very bad flu since Saturday, even took a day off from work. Been to the gym only 2 days this week.

Final weigh in result: -4 lbs since the start of the challenge.

I will go on a vacation soon but will try to incorporate fitness and eat sensibly and pray haaard not to gain weight!!
