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!”

Pilates, Shaolin Workouts and One-Hundred Push-Ups

Perhaps those close to me would say that I like a challenge. It’s one of those bland, filler phrases that seems to occupy CVs everywhere. Some part of me likes to think I do enjoy a challenge and that I rise to them.

I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE WHOLE POINT?I remember and cherish the time when I could actually turn on MTV and see music…it was a revelation – music 24-7 – aContinueContinue reading “MTV makes me wanna smoke crack”

Sign "☮" the Times: 2007/ 08

New year makes everyone a bit more reflective. Not that I’m any different – I too look to how the last year went, and what the next year could hold. I’m not too enamoured with the idea of New Year’s Resolutions though…I mean every moment is another opportunity to turn something around…a new second/ minute/ContinueContinue reading “Sign "☮" the Times: 2007/ 08”
