Pushup Practice

the chiropractor got my collar bone back into position, and things are doing better. tried some 'girl' pushups (to limit load) and was able to do 10 without significant discomfort. hope to be back doing some pushups in early June... we'll see.

Walking - week 7

totals for the the seventh week of walking: 14.3 k steps... that's the good news. the bad news, I'm not going to blog about it anymore, as I'm keeping a good baseline and am doing it consistently.

total: 14.3 k steps

Reverse Crunch Week 6 Day 2

more crazy busy - only entry this week, hope to finish in 1st week of June...

crunches: 22/22/30/30/24/24/18/18/60 on a spec of (same /57 - total of 248)

getting close... can almost feel it... need to render video of the jumping jacks and crunches to put up here, and get this taped an on the board too... where does all the time go?

Reverse Crunch Week 6 Day 1

slowing down some, end of school year for the kids, busy busy busy...

if I did the math right...

Pushup Practice

it's been a while, and the shoulder is still a bit messed up. it doesn't help that working and playing on computers for about a dozen hours each day (yes, roughly half of each day is at a computer - what can I say, I'm a geek!). Stretching is helping, as is regular motion. I hope to start light (few reps) work on the pushup front, just so I don't forget how to do them, perhaps as early as this weekend - it's been way to long...

==========

Walking - week 6

totals for the the sixth week of walking: 11.3 k steps...

that's the good news - still maintaining a minimum number of steps, despite spending some time off my feet, not doing a lot of deliberate walking and forgetting to wear the silly thing from time to time... all in all, not too bad.

total: 11.3 k steps

Reverse Crunch Week 5 Day 3

crunches: 20/20/24/24/20/20/22/55 on a spec of (same /50 - total of 205) (edit - it appears that I can't add)

==========

Walking - Week 5

totals for the the fifth week of walking: 10.6 k steps...

that's the good news.

the bad news, my total is lower than I would like - but I spent a lot of time on my butt, and didn't wear it over the weekend...

I am now running my own race and I do what I can to up my numbers, within reason.

total: 10.6 k steps

Pushup Practice

drat! it always seems to get worse before it gets better... hammered my shoulder last night while doing a cartwheel (forgot to project up and over, and went sideways and down instead) and the stupid thing popped... (my shoulder informs me that it objects to being called stupid, and says it was only following orders) eventually I will get back to pushups, but I'm not sure when that will be.

Reverse Crunch Week 4 Day 2

.. and getting stronger ...

crunches: 25/29/25/25/47 on a spec of (same /36 - total of 151)

==========

Walking - Week 4

totals for the the fourth week of walking: _0_ k steps...

my feet still haven't recovered from the earlier 5ks (two weeks ago and last weekend), and the folks at work are getting hyper-competitive (one guy is putting in 100k steps per week). that's not a healthy way for me to go, so I am dropping out. I will probably put my counter back on, and monitor my steps from time to time, but it probably won't be a regular thing to see reports on.

total: _o_ k steps

==========

Reverse Crunch Week 4 Day 1

let's take the weekend off, shall we? still going strong...

crunches: 21/25/21/21/40 on a spec of (same /32 - total of 128)

==========

Reverse Crunch Week 3 Day 3

more of the same... tiring in the same places, but starting to feel it a little in the lower abs...

crunches: 22/30/20/20/33 on a spec of (same /28 - total of 125)
