Getting In Shape...

I've always been a girl with curves...and I rock them. But, I've probably about 15 pounds curvier that I was when Trev and I met. I've always struggled with keeping a consistent weight, but the wedding has given me the ultimate deadline. I am bound and determined to get in shape before the big day. (Who doesn't feel this way?!) I want to look back at my wedding photos and be happy with everything. The Relentless Bride recently featured the 100 Push Up Challenge, and I am committing to participate. I can just imagine slipping on my wedding dress next July, looking in the mirror, and seeing toned arms, shoulders, and back. That thought makes me happy. A bit about the program:

If you're serious about increasing your strength, follow this six week training program and you'll soon be on your way to completing 100 consecutive push ups!

Think there's no way you could do this? I think you can! All you need is a good plan, plenty of discipline and about 30 minutes a week to achive this goal!

No doubt some of you can already do 50 consecutive push ups, but let's face it, you're in a big minority. Most of you reading this won't even be able to manage 20 push ups. Actually, I'm sure many of you can't even do 10.

However, it really doesn't matter which group you fall into. If you follow the progressive push ups training program, I'm positive you'll soon be able to do 100 push ups!

The beautiful thing about push ups? You don't need a gym membership to do them... and you don't have to brave the cooollllldddddd winter weather to do them either! I could do this during commercial breaks while watching TV. FABULOUS!!! The program even has a cool iPhone app. I'm starting this weekend.
