Learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
First day! 2 months ago

I rolled around and it was fun.

Right now I’m a bit undecided if I want to commit. Time is mostly the issue—I feel like I’ve been piling on all these possibilities (thanks 43things!) and there’s only so much time in a week.

I’m going to sleep on it.


shave daily
My Note From Home... 2 months ago

Dear Ms. Zeitgeist,

I can’t shave today. I just got back from Boston and somehow switched my bags with somebody else, which means my shaver is with somebody else. So I can’t shave today. Or tomorrow.

Let’s just start this again when I get a shaver.


do 100 consecutive push-ups
Ready, set, puuussh! 2 months ago

I want to do 100 “military style” push-ups. For me that means that I’ll do push-ups so that my arms are more or less over the shoulder, my stomach is tight and flat, and I’m going all the way down until my chest or face touches the ground. 100 times. phew

My daily (or so) plan is to warm up, then do push-ups until muscle failure, and then go on my knees and do push-ups until muscle failure again. I will rest (take as many days off as necessary) until not sore so as to make sure I don’t over-fatigue myself. I will also keep watch on my elbows, wrists, etc., so I don’t hurt or strain them. I’m not sure if this is the best strategy but I’m trying to start somewhere.

I started out yesterday and was able to do 48 regular push-ups and then did 10 on my knees. Half-way there!
