21.3 - 100 pushups, 100 deadlifts

I am sore from my lunges Monday, not too bad through.  Then yesterday my hips started to hurt when I tried to stand up after sitting here at the computer.  This is the first sign of that discomfort of pregnancy ~ only 19 weeks of painful hips to go.  Sounds like forever, but just take it one week at a time and soon it will be over.  One week at a time...

I did 100 pushups in 8 minutes and 100 deadlifts w/ two 30 lb. dumbbells in 5:10 yesterday.  Just 10 at a time, then 10 more, or 1 minute, then go a minute more, you can do anything for just 1 minute right?  Baby steps... one minute at a time

Pushups -
First 25 - 1:00

40 done - 2:00
60 done - 4:00
Then I was pushing myself to do just 10 more each minute, a good goal that I was able to meet
70 - 5:00
80 - 6:00
90 - 7:00
100 - 8:00
100 pushups in 8 minutes, beating my time from last week, 100 in 9:50

Deadlifts -
1 minute - 28 deadlifts done
50 deadlifts done in 2:20
70 in 3:30
85 in 4:20
100 deadlifts done in 5:10.

So there was my 13 minute workout for the day.  Short, hard and I can be proud that I did something. 


Going to do planks again today.  Might just repeat my Mon-Wed schedule for Thurs-Sat and do planks, lunges, then pushups/deadlifts again and then do some stretching and hope my hips don't kill
