Alhamdulillah, I recently started reciting the following in sets of 3 at different times during the day (at least once a day):

Subhan Allahi wa bihamdihi adada khalqihi
wa rida'a nafsihi
wa zinatah 'arshihi
wa midada kalimatihi...but don't know how this practice fits in with the sunnah nor do I know if I ever hit 100 recitations... insha'Allah I will make an effort to recite 100x daily but wonder if I should only recite "Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi" 100x.

inshaAllaah u can do both? I believe they're two diff sunnahs..

the one already mentioned (100 x subhaanAllaaahi wa bihamdihi)
and the other tasbeeh u mentioned (maashaAllaah!)
to be recited thrice..

Juwairiyah bint Al-Harith (May Allah be pleased with her) reported, the Mother of the Believers: The Prophet (PBUH) came out from my apartment in the morning as I was busy in performing the dawn prayer. He came back in the forenoon and found me sitting there. The Prophet (PBUH) said, "Are you still in the same position as I left you.'' I replied in the affirmative. Thereupon the Prophet said, "I recited four words three times after I had left you. If these are to be weighed against all you have recited since morning, these will be heavier. These are: Subhan-Allahi wa bihamdihi, `adada khalqihi, wa rida nafsihi, wa zinatah `arshihi, wa midada kalimatihi
[Allah is free from imperfection and I begin with His praise, as many times as the number of His creatures, in accordance with His Good Pleasure, equal to the weight of His Throne and equal to the ink that may be used in recording the words (for His Praise)].''
[Sahih Muslim].
