The Exercise Experiment

The Motivation:
Dan’s brother Dave made a resolution last year to do 1 push-up and 1 sit-up (or crunch) per day for the number of days that it is in the year. For example if it is January 20th one would do 20 push-ups and 20 crunches, then on December 31st one would do 365 of each for that day.

The Conversation(s):
During 2005 Dan mentioned this resolution to me and it really sounded like a clever and great idea. Then on January 26th Dan was mentioning to me that he was trying it this year and well I said why the heck not start.

The Problem:
I hate exercising and need the motivation of Dan doing it and R yelling at me about it. This blog is a furtherance of my publicizing it to ensure I don’t back down.

The Beginning:
So I began on the 26th and did 26 (girly) push-ups and 26 crunches. That was the most push-ups I think I have ever done in my life. At the point I began I weighed 198lbs and had a waist of 34”.

Current Status:
I have just finished my 5th day and I did ½ the push-ups non-girly and they are getting a bit easier. Still not that easy but I am improving. My hope is that by the end of next week (when I am at about 40) I can easily do 2 sets of 20 normal push-ups.

Updates:
Stay tuned.

Go Bears... The Office... Randomness

The Office:
This weeks was freaking hilarious. The pain between Jim and Pam, the inappropriateness of Michael, Dwight getting a kiss and so on... Such a well done show and I look forward to it being on Thursdays (seems that NBC is getting behind it more). Check the NBC site for the Office holiday party pictures.

New Ringtone:
Decided that The Office theme was a better and more professional ringtone. So Dan and Lee get their own MNF Theme ringtone and the rest of the world can have The Office.

Cal Bears:
6-1 with the full roster back! Powe is looking amazingly quick and agile considering he has had 3 knee surgeries. I am pretty excited about this season thinking it could be a special season. We will see at 9am on Saturday with a game v. Kansas.

Fried Foods:
Bought a deep fryer to make donuts (or is it doughnuts) and am jazzed to use it again. Making fish and chips this weekend (Robin's favorite). There are so many delicious things that need to, and should, be fried.

Look who's back....

So here is the start of the newer, lighter DruckSpot. Instead of 3 long posts a week expect a few short blogs a week.

TV:
Thursday nights on NBC will have the Office and My Name is Earl. Way for NBC to actually give a crap about 2 good shows.

My new Phone:
For those of you that know me you know I change my phone out pretty frequently. Just got a new version of the Blackberry (still getting my work mail pushed, which ROCKS). What is the coolest thing about my new phone? Well nice vibrant color screen, faster processor, and EDGE network (quad band) connectivity are all cool and useful. The answer to the aforementioned question is.... mp3 ringtones. This format of a ringtone allows me to have THE COOLEST RINGTONE EVER. So that is cool.

Vegas Baby:
Going in a little over a month!

Cal Bears:
Go Bears!
