I had a personal training session with Ron Wednesday night. Yes, he’s still made of muscles and awesome, even though he is leaving me.

Fix me up and put me back in the game!

I had an appointment with my chiropractor today. When Dr. Jen asked me how I was doing today, I told her that I’d hurt myself. I explained about how, sadly, it was NOT when I was lifting heavy stuff or doing push-ups or whatnot. I was simply doing some stretching (I can’t remember the specifics – whether I was in yoga class or warming up before a workout or stretching after lifting or what). Suddenly, the muscle in my upper right back, over my shoulder blade, went “NOOOO!!!!” and hurt. I told her that now that muscle hurt whenever I tried to do push-ups or other horizontal motions – or carried heavy things – or shoveled snow. So I’d stopped doing push-ups over a week ago. I was now behind in my 20,013 push-ups in 2013 challenge and frustrated and hoped she and/or the massage therapist could tell me when I’d be healed so I could get back to it.
Breaking up is hard to do

My personal trainer is breaking up with me. The sadness I feel can only be compared to the disappointment when that guy you’ve been really excited about starts the conversation with “I don’t think I feel the same way about you….” This is a sorrow that can only be handled one way… with chocolate and whining. Thus, I sit here drinking hot cocoa and blogging.
I Double Dare You

It’s been over three weeks since the push-up duel ended. Did the push-ups abruptly end? Not for me. Two reasons:
- Like Pavlov’s dog, I’m now conditioned to do push-ups. “Never Gonna Stop” by Rob Zombie comes up on my music playlist and I feel like throwing myself on to the floor to begin push-ups.
- The 20,013 in 2013 challenge is ongoing – and I haven’t give up on the idea of completing it.
It’s a Win-Win!

Previously, on “Life of the Lintee Bean”:
When we left our heroine.. okay, me… we were on day 15 of our 20 day push-up duel against the big dude from Texas… and the score was 945 to 831. Whatever shall happen? Will our heroine’s arms fall off?
