Tokyo achieved!
I’m pretty behind on achieving this destination as I slacked in February thanks to the Floor Stooges, recuperated a tad in March, then repeated the slacking in April for reasons I cannot remember as being valid. For May I’m really … Continue reading
Moscow Achieved…just great
Had I known Putin was going to invade Ukraine with so much certainty, I would have skipped Moscow as the next destination but it happened. It’s not the Russian people’s fault and they don’t deserve to be punished over something … Continue reading
One Thousand Days!
Not bad, it just took me about 6.75 years to do this and sadly I managed to get here without going to the gym every time. All those recent, stressful days involving the floor installation or when walking all over … Continue reading
Six Million Steps!!!
Pedometer announced I cross the six million mark! Getting to this quickly after hitting five in August I credit to the house remodel, moving around the hotel and several trips to Costco. Nothing like the latter will put on a … Continue reading
First Perfect Month in a couple years
It has been a painful few days but I finally achieved a goal I’ve been dying (nearly) to do since the Pandemic kicked in. Thanks to a really long, brisk walk around downtown Austin on New Year’s Day, I got … Continue reading
Fifty perfect weeks of exercise!
This year is really going strong! I earned a perfect Exercise Week for the 50th time. Yeah, it’s not really that impressive. In many ways, all those little badges you can earn for achievements are the original NFTs!
Finally under 260 pounds!
It took well over a year but c’mon, I really didn’t get serious until I finally gave up and joined Planet Fitness (or Fatness as I call it for my condition). Getting down to this lower weight was my diehard … Continue reading
Current Exercise Streak ends at 23
I know that doesn’t sound like a very impressive number but given how lazy, fat and apathetic I got during the Pandemic. What about the bike you bought last year? It tends to work out on weekends more often. I … Continue reading
Joined Planet Fitness, neither a trick nor treat
While the world, especially Amerika, continues to sit on its collective thumbs on what to do, what to open, etc. I finally gave up and joined the Planet Fitness a few blocks from my house since I seriously doubt the … Continue reading
Five Million Steps!!!
I started tracking my steps in 2019 when I found this pretty cool, free app for my iPhone/Watch. I would’ve achieved this much sooner if it weren’t for the pandemic since my daily walking around my work campus would’ve doubled … Continue reading
A cat getting in shape for swimsuit season
If you have a cat or have known them for as long as I have, I wish they were doing sit-ups but I’m figuring it’s just an awkward attempt at grooming. We humans can dream.
First full-day of work with painful elbow
It went pretty well. Still hurt like the dickens whenever I stretched or did any activity involving my left arm straightening out. The key thing I needed which I put into the success category was typing! Ergo, my fingers and … Continue reading
June/Summer off to a great start
I’ve been out of commission for several days thanks to tennis. Now I’m confident a bunch of you will go with the cliché, oh you got tennis elbow. How I wish! I did injure my elbow but it was from … Continue reading
Hoser’s house (by bike) achieved!
Today, I got across the second threshold of distance on my hybrid bike, Nancy & José’s house which is 213 miles from Austin. I’m doing way better too. The soreness in my legs is minimal and the mediation I’m having … Continue reading
Two hundred miles by bike achieved!
This weekend I continued to push the proverbial envelope in my quest to ride my bike from home to work and back; when I can return to using the gym, I will be reversing journey. Today, I made it from … Continue reading
