Yeah, I’m a geek. I know that, you know that. So I’m trying something new and quite popular: Twitter. What is Twitter you ask? Well, it’s like this blog only on tiny steriods. Basically, twitter asks the simple question: what are you doing now? And any time you feel like updating, you answer the question. [...]

I have. Usually, I google it without double quotes around my first and last name. Today, I wrapped the name in double quotes. One of the hits was from Facebook, which I would expect. What I didn’t expect was seeing my name in “context” in the Google results in a foreign language. It would seem [...]
The goal Friday was 5 sets at 15/13/10/10/15+. I managed to meet the challenge, although I did have to cheat a tiny bit on the last set with a couple small rest periods. Needless to say, 63 pushups in 15 minutes when six days earlier, 17 all at once is all I could muster is [...]
Wow. My workout this morning/afternoon and weigh-in put me at my best weight in 15+ years, probably more.
BMI: 28.27
Weight: 201.9
This means I’ve lost 23.2 pounds in 95 days!!! I’m on a pace that will put me close to 180 by Christmas if I am figuring things correctly. That would make my weight at what [...]
I managed to complete the day 2 plan of 12/12/10/10/10! So, I’m still on target to keep to the six week plan. Arm wrestling, anyone???? ;-)
Ok, 90 days in. Where am I????
Original weight/BMI: 225.1/31.51
Current weight/BMI: 204.4/28.58
Total loss: 20.7/2.93

The regimen calls for 5 rounds of pushups: 10, 10, 8, 6, 7+ with at least 60 seconds between rounds. I managed to complete all the rounds. The last round, I had to pause between 6 and 7 but I was able to complete 8 for the round. Thus, the goal was 41 and I [...]
Ok, so I started this today, August 17th. With some trepidation, I did my initial test and going in, I thought seven to twelve would be fantastic. Imagine my surprise when 17 was my limit! Not bad for 43, overweight, and just starting to get back into shape via the Wii Fit. So, I start [...]
