Pushups and such...

So I have been a part of Crossfit Coronado for over a year now and I am still unable to do pushups. Now I know that part of that is my being a wuss, but I feel like I am over this handicap and need to focus and work on it. SO... I am taking on a new challenge - The Hundred Pushup Challenge. A friend of mine who does P90X told me about this and LOVED it. She said it really helped her upper body strength, stamina and confidence in her pushup. I feel like that is what I need. So, starting today, Friday March 13th, I will get a move on this. I am going to try to recruit a friend of mine from the gym as I know she also struggles with this and it will be good to have some accountability in it. Otherwise, I am afraid I will only make it through a week and then giveup. =)

On another note (yet still exercise related), I am LOVING swimming with Jess during the week. She is so inspiring in her efforts to stay healthy and fit during her pregnancy while maintaining that no matter what, the baby's safety comes first (ie, not pushing herself too hard, just enjoying getting some work in). We have been trying to get in the pool 2-3 times a week and I think that the extra cardio is ultimately going to help alot. I do enjoy CFC, but am feeling as if I have hit a wall in my overall body size & I am hoping that by adding in this extra workout that is strictly cardio, it will help me shed those inches that just seem to keep hanging on. And with the pool at a WARM 80 degrees, I really have no excuse on to get out there.

Last thought for today... Health Insurance. Man... I HATE this. It has been so frustrating time and again getting denied for health insurance. I know that God's timing is in all of this, but it still makes me anxious. Mike & I had hoped to be pregnant by now, but yet, we have to hold off even trying until we get this figured out. Again, it is just another way that the Lord is teaching me patience and that I need to wait on Him for these kind of things... after all, He is the on who knows when, where and what we will have. Nasty thoughts do tend to plague me however... what if I never have children? What if it isn't meant to be? What if my heart really couldn't handle a pregnancy? What if, what if, what if??? I know this is completely unhealthy and my devotions yesterday really put it into perspective for me, Proverbs always tends to do that... "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path." Ok... got it Lord, hear you loud and clear. =) Chill out!! hahaha.

Alright, that is all for now... Off to do my pushups. =)
