I've 'only' done fifty push-ups so far and my arms are trembly little noodles. What have I signed up for.

There is a house near me that flies a progress pride flag on a flagpole and has a Tino Rangatiratanga flag in their window and so today I took them some chocolate and lollies and a thank you card for making me smile every time I pass that house.

My workmates have decided to hold a bake sale to raise funds for my MHF push-up fundraiser. 😍 Love it.

Yeah, I'll mix in knee push-ups, especially at the beginning. I've signed up, haha, may as well give it a go.

I can do, like, eight push-ups, if I take a break halfway through. On the one hand it would be good to push myself, on the other hand I know Future Me will be very annoyed at myself.
