Searching for Meaning

Over the last week or so, it seems as if a lot of material has come my way that really challenges and examines the way things are. Like asking and answering the big questions in life.There was a family celebration on Saturday and of course when there’s a few of us together the conversation inevitablyContinueContinue reading “Searching for Meaning”

One Hundred Push Ups-Update 4

Hah – it’s only been nearly four months since my last update… I still haven’t broken the elusive 100 press-ups mark yet. I was repeating week 4…I’m now repeating week 5. I’ve got close to completing the last day, but not quite. Something seems to get in the way of my progress: I get ill;ContinueContinue reading “One Hundred Push Ups-Update 4”

25 Things About Me

So this is from a ubiquitous social networking site…25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about me. I was originally ‘tagged’ in someone’s ‘note’…which means I’m supposed to respond with my 25 things. Yay Group Hug Everyone! Here are mine. 1. I have been truly in love only once in my life. 2. I hadContinueContinue reading “25 Things About Me”

Flash-Back, Flash-Forward: 2009

Some things just take ages. Other times circumstances interfere because I let them. “I don’t want to be a product of my environment. I want my environment to be a product of me.” – Frank Costello Interesting character that guy. He’s echoing the sentiment of George Bernard Shaw…one Irishman quoting another I guess. I’ve letContinueContinue reading “Flash-Back, Flash-Forward: 2009”

One Hundred Push Ups-Update 3

So we’re into the New Year. Christmas is a distant memory – only my body doesn’t think so! I’m still carrying a few more pounds from the excesses. I should have started this workout as a New Year Challenge shouldn’t I? Since it’s been a while, I’ve added something about how these press-ups are going…wellContinueContinue reading “One Hundred Push Ups-Update 3”

Thoughts From 2008

This is a review of my year. It’s another opportunity to be wonderfully self-centred. Hah!On a more serious level, it’s a chance for me to acknowledge what’s happened before I start to think about what 2009 is going to be about for me. I had three themes I was focusing on throughout 2008 which willContinueContinue reading “Thoughts From 2008”

One Hundred Push Ups-Update 2

Right…here’s a quick update! I’m into week five. And it’s absolutely killer! I’ve got to day three twice now, but I’ve not completed it! I’ve also got stopped at day two… It looks like I’ll be stuck here for a while! I don’t think the Christmas period is helping much – a time of excessiveContinueContinue reading “One Hundred Push Ups-Update 2”

One Hundred Push Ups-Update

OK OK OK! So it’s been ages since I’ve posted yeah yeah I know. So here’s an update on the whole push-ups, press-ups whatever-you-wanna-call it. On the last update, well I had to repeat week four…so I did…except I got ill…so ill I actually had to have a day off work (how ridiculous!) I finishedContinueContinue reading “One Hundred Push Ups-Update”

One Hundred Push Ups-second week!

Yikes is what I have to say this week…Yikes! Perhaps because last week was half-term, and this week just gone I’ve been back at school – or perhaps because I had a hugely indulgent Saturday eating LOADS…when I set out to do week four, I found it almost impossible! (That’s five sets of the followingContinueContinue reading “One Hundred Push Ups-second week!”

One Hundred Push Ups-first week!

My initial test was 22 good form press-ups, so on checking the information, I saw I could start at week three. However, more because I’m chicken than anything…I decided to start at the lower level…(there are three to choose from). And I’m happy to say I managed this week. Despite my arms feeling like jellyContinueContinue reading “One Hundred Push Ups-first week!”
