After almost 3 years, I have decided to redesign my site. I am working on setting up a schedule or something so that I can update with some regularity.
As far as the One Hundred Pushup Challenge is concerned, I think that I am going to throw in the towel on that one. It's not that I'm giving up on regaining strength. I have just spent a lot of time in the gym these past couple of months and recently I re-introduced strength training into my routine and it feels great to be lifting weights again. I'm not going to blog about that because I'm sure that all 5 you couldn't care less about what I eat and how much weight I put up.
On a completely different topic, I would like to introduce you all to one of my favorite podcasts. I have laughed more at the Geek Survival Guide than anything other than The Office. He hasn't updated his feed in quite some time but the old episodes are all worth a listen. I have gone through them all at least twice now and still find them funny.
Let me know what you think of the new site design and of the podcast.
Yes, it has been almost 4 weeks since I last did any push ups. I have not given up. I'm starting over on week 3 now and with the new effort I'm changing the Post Title format. They seemed pretty easy today considering I've been really slacking.

It's been four days since the last time I did my push ups and I could tell. I meant to get to them each of the last two days and just never made it. I was able to complete the whole set, just barely making the minimum of 25 for the last round. The last 5 were sloppy but I'm counting them anyway, because they hurt!

I don't have cable, so I'm not sure what kind of attention this received.
I can't find the whole video anymore. I know that there was a portion where Diddy suggested that McCain should have picked Michelle Obama as his running mate instead.
This is precisely why we should be demanding that our entertainers entertain us and nothing more. There has got to be a way to let celebrities know that we don't care about their opinions or feelings on political issues. We just want to hear them sing or watch them act and then we want to forget about them altogether.
At least that's what I want

Wow...94, that's almost the goal, only with rests. I was supposed to do 25 on the last set, but before I got down to start I told my wife that I didn't think I was going to be able to get out 5 more, much less 25. So, I'm pretty happy with 20.
I completed the second exhaustion test and did 43 consecutive push ups. This is only 5 more than when I tried 2 weeks ago. I guess it is still an improvement, but I was hoping to see a bigger gain already. It still puts me in the highest category for the challenge so if I believe that the system works then I should have no problem reaching the goal of 100 push ups without stopping.
