15 pull-ups

no... NOT the toddler diapers. ew! i'm talking actual, physical, real pull-ups. some guys at work decided to do 100 pull-ups in 100 days. it goes something like this...

Day 1 = do as many as you can at one time
Day 2 = 2 pull ups
Day 3 = 3 pull ups
Day 4 = 4 pull ups
etc....

the number of pull ups for the day we're on can be done over the course of the day (thankfully!). i was already doing a handful each time i went to fill up my water bottle or was in the general area of the work-out room at work. now i just have more motivation. as of today (and the past 29 years) i can NOT do a pull up all on my own. i'm pretty strong for a girl, but those muscles in my arms just aren't developped. so.... we're changing that.

i joined in on day 9 i think. and while i have to use a chair to do the pull ups, i can already tell that i'm not using the chair as much as i once was. so that's a bonus!

let's hope that by the last day i can do at least one without the aid of a chair :)
