BAM!!!!

Awesome. Go do more!

[Neilfamily]

If you say so...

[Neilfamily]

I did another one!
I can't believe I went up when I pulled!

[Michele Knaub]

Lol, that's still awesome!

I can't believe it! I just did one chin-up!

Details, woman, details. What exercises did you program?

Whatever worked, we want more of it!

Oh, and, uh, CONGRATS!

Actually, I have to admit that while I read appreciated everyone's push-up and chin-up advice, I hadn't yet gotten up the courage to add those suggestions to my workouts! Except that I have done push-ups a few days a week before I do spelling with my boys. Each time I have done that I discovered that I could do one more than last time. I am up to 11 now.
My husband and I just a few weeks ago reduced our lift days to 2 for family reasons, and this week I skipped one because I wasn't feeling well.
That was my first "break" since starting to lift. Maybe it was helpful?
I am now very excited to lift tomorrow.
