Push-up realization

yendiSo the thing about the One Hundred Push-Ups program is that it's training you to do 100 in a row*. It does it by having you do a bunch of smaller sets each day.
Well, I just finished Day Three of Week Three. And I'm in the third column.
Which means I've now actually done a hundred push-ups twice now. Yeah, it's not in a row, but even within a twelve minute period, that's more than I've ever done in a day before.
In other workout-related news, I realized why I don't use scales. The gym scale had me down to 185 last week (after a weekend of my mom visiting and taking us to places like Craigie on Main where I consumed roughly four billion calories), down five from my previous weight. This week, it had me up to 189, after a week of mostly being good and certainly working out. In the end, I'm happy to just use my doctor's much-better-calibrated scale, and rely on other things (like my pants getting looser) as indicators of success.
Oh, on the running front, I stalled at 1.3 miles this week. I'm hoping to hit 1.4 next week, and maybe 1.5 in the near future, which would be a full loop leading back to my house (after which I'll need a new route).
*There's no "Thirty-seven Push-Ups" program.
