onehundredpushups Week 1 Day 1 (Take 2)

Monday, June 30th, 2008

After feeling a bit under the weather on Friday of last week, and therefore being unable to complete Week 1 Day 3, I’ve decided to repeat Week 1.
So today was first day of week one again, and I managed to complete it while doing a total of 46 press ups.  (10, 10, 8, 6, and [...]

Moviated without Tea.

Sunday, June 29th, 2008

Hello All, It’s been a busy few days but I’ve got a quick post for you that I’ve been wanting to post since Wednesday.
I’ve had a increase in motivation lately. I’ve been getting up early every weekday morning (because I currently need to start work at 8.15 at the latest),  I’ve been drinking a lot [...]

As I mentioned in a previous post the Wife got me a wedding Anniversary Gift while we were in Legoland and I did promise to post about it. Well here it is;

It’s rather cool lego kit called ‘LEGO Creator 4953 Fast Flyers‘, that can be built into a Jet Fighter, Hovercraft and a Helicopter. [...]

Redirecting misguided travelers.

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

I’m managed to divert the old blog posts (that are went missing because of the blog upgrade, but are still listed by search engines) to the correct locations.
The old blog indexed the posts by date, however WordPress indexes via a unique post id (e.g. 1 for the first post, 2 for the next, etc), so [...]

onehundredpushups Week 1 Day 2

It seems the onehundredpushups thing is quite the internet fad at the moment, I’ve seen  lots of blog and tweats about it.
Today was the secound day of week one, and I managed to complete it while doing a total of 59 pushups.  (12, 12, 10, 10, and then maxing out with 15). It was a [...]

Wii Fit day forty something, probably.

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

That’s forty something days since I first played the game, not forty something days I’ve been training. In hindsight that would have made much more sense as a title.
Anyway I’ve been training everyday without fail (excluding the weekends) on Wii Fit, and I’ve managed to beat some of previous bests, thanks to the motivation [...]

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

I’ve been wanting to increase the number of press ups and sit ups I can do for a while, so when I happened across http://hundredpushups.com/ I thought I would give it a go over the next six weeks.
I did the initial test on Friday, and I managed to do twenty proper press ups without a [...]

It’s a bit windy out…

Sunday, June 22nd, 2008

Just the kind of weather for kite flying, so that just what Conor and I having been trying to do this afternoon. Unfortunately we don’t have a normal kite, we have a ’stunt’ kite.  Stunt in this case obviously means ‘Smashes into the ground rather than flying despite this being the windiest day ever’. It’s [...]
