You may remember last year before my tendon surgeries I had done the one hundred push up challenge. Well, I am feeling pretty darn fat lately so I am going to do it again. The site has gotten a bit cooler since last time, they now have a tracker and they also have a 200 sit-up program.
Alright well, I did the tests the other day and my push ups came in at 37 which means I skip to week 3 and start at the hardest level of week 3. My sit ups came in at 20 which means I start at the middle level of week 1.
Well, here are my day 1 numbers which I just did now:
Set
Push ups
Sit ups
1
14
9
2
18
9
3
14
6
4
14
6
5
30
20
Remember that set 5 is supposed to be MAX, they give you minimum numbers for set 5. The minimum numbers were 20 and 8 respectively.
What else am I going to do to get rid of my gut? Well, I am feeling inspired by Sara's 30 day challenges (I know, like half a year later) so I am going to go the month of Rock-Tober with no alcohol.
ps - so apparently this site sucks when it comes to putting in tables.. I did an HTML table and it is not showing up correctly so I had to use underscores.. Will look into that more later.
Ever see a purple carrot? I never have.. The question is, do they exist? Lynz brought over Purple Carrot juice yesterday before the concert. I didn't think they existed so I figured I would look 'em up... So... Here is what Wiki has to say about them:
Eastern carrots Eastern carrots were domesticated in Central Asia, probably in modern-day Afganistan in the 10th century, or possibly earlier. Specimens of the eastern carrot that survive to the present day are commonly purple or yellow, and often have branched roots. The purple colour common in these carrots comes from anthocyanin pigments. Western carrots The Vegetable Improvement Center at Texas A&M University has developed a purple-skinned, orange-fleshed carrot, the BetaSweet, with substances to prevent cancer, which has recently entered very limited commercial distribution, through J&D Produce of Edinburg TX. This variety of carrot is also known to be high in β-carotene which is an essential nutrient. The high concentrations of this nutrient give the carrot its maroon shade.
So, bet you didn't know you were going to get a carrot lesson.. :D
---- Last night me and Lynz went to see Jonatha Brooke, she was very, very good.. I have really liked every band that Glen Phillips supports and/or tours with. He plays on her a song (Sweetest Angel) on her newest CD (The Works).
Here is one of her older songs - River on the Right from her last CD.
---- I'm watching Big Bang Theory and this episode has a new version of "Rock, Paper, Scissors".. It is "Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock". Here are the rules...
Scissors cuts Paper Paper covers Rock Rock crushes Lizard Lizard poisons Spock Spock smashes Scissors Scissors decapitates Lizard Lizard eats Paper Paper disproves Spock Spock vaporizes Rock Rock crushes Scissors
btw - thanks to those of you who insisted I give this show a shot, it's really funny... :D
---Thought of the Day I'm glad to have so many people great people in my life.. I was going to type more, but everyone is here and we are going to eat.. so.. today will be an incomplete thought of the day.. :P
