Off Day

Ran a few laps (walked more) around the track then finished with some crunches. It probably doesn't help that i'm eating tempura with beef but it felt good to do them anyways. I just need to keep doing that while or after I do my push-ups.

Week 1, Day 2 and New Participant

Just did 12,12,10,10, max 20. I feel like I'm making light progress since I'm up to 64. I wasn't able to run but I did some swimming strokes for about 30 minutes. I probably shouldn't have since I was already going to work on my arms for my push-ups.

My pecs and arms have gotten a tiny bit stiffer and this is before my workout. I'll have to do more abs and back to round out my upper half.

In other news, I shaved my head again to increase the air flow on the way down and up. Less drag, more reps.

Also, we have another push-upper but this time it's a non-participant which means he's it in it for the motivation but not in it to win any money unless he changes his mind within the next week.

'Til then, give it up for fliptreej!

How to lose belly fat

Just wanted to pass this article along to the rest of you. BTW, this is the ONLY article on the internet that shows you how to lose belly fat. =)

Read "How to Lose Belly Fat"

wk 1/day 2

here's motivation for you...

12-12-10-10-56 = 100.

i know my money is safe :D

plus 1.36 miles in slippers....things i do to continue my streak. ah...time to have a beer.

Motivated!

We have to give it up to Jaybroni for putting up this bet and site. I'm super motivated (see how long this will last). Besides the pushups, reading about everyone's running made me put the running shoes back on yesterday. I haven't put in a good jog/run in over a month but it felt great. To give back, I'm also going to log my run distance and time, hope this helps Milhouse and Luxelogic with their training to 10k. Sounds fun by the way. If I didn't have the little time I do to spend with my 3-month-old I would train for one too. So for now, thank you Jaybroni and all for keeping this old man going.

Week 2 Day 1:
Started with the third column. So 12-12-9-7, then maxed out at 54. I actually did 31 straight, then did two 10 second rest without my knees dropping until I got to 54. Next, I went for a 3.2 mile jog (no not a run) around the neighborhood in about 34 mins.

Keep on keepin' on y'all. Maybe the next bet should be us all meeting at a marathon or an Iron Man and who ever finishes first between us gets the cash. Wait, a silly fun one, remember those old silly Presidential Fitness Tests in school? Let's find one of those and max out on all of them in one day with a point system. Okay, I'm just going on too many tangents and I'm getting tired just thinking about the training. Nap time.

P.S. I'm sure you know I'm joking about the Iron Man, a co-worker of mine said her friend trained almost 40 hours a week for I think a year to prepare for his, CA-RAZAY!

week 1, day 2

12, 12, 10, 10, 50... and i'm spent.

Week 1, Day 1

Ran 2 km, wrote a song, then did 10,10,8,6 and a max of 15. This one was actually tough even though I'm redoing the first week. I guess I gained more pounds or something. Or maybe the running exhausted me.

I think next time I'll reverse my workout by doing push-ups first then running afterwards.

Now I is tired and sleepy. Tomorrow I'm going to do some abs workouts to balance my growing pectorals.
