august reflections, nye +8months
Friday, August 28th, 2009ya know meng, finding myself cheating on a pushup new years resolution
new years resolution reflected in august
since inception of the year 2009 the absolute destination of the journey was to be at 100 pushups per day all year. somedays i had set to bang out 100 thru sets of 4. it was my full intent to pump out 25 in one set, yet after the second set i’d whimper a mere 15. while heading down and back up 15 , the lazy impervious thought came into mind ah i don’t need to keep going.
bad voice pushup
whats that saying? – always listen to that inner voice? listen to your body?
why is my body telling me to give up?
why couldn’t even a healthy chain-smoking 24 year old stand to do 65 pushups over 30 minutes?
albeit, at the end of an ambitious january, recollection, accounting and reflection came to the erred conclusion of not continuing seriously the pushups. why was this? never hit the absolutely poach-able target,perceived ‘do-able’ in absolute certainty. wishy-washy certainty?
this was a new years resolution
66.666666666666666667% of a years’ time passed:
why is it that the New Years Resolution is associated with failure?
This leads to the question that started this blog post – What if the inner voices, the hunches, the bodies’ voices are slightly off key?
this morning it was nice find, a timely 100 sets of 3, topped off by a slow 10 rep -
10000 pushups
how can certainty be delivered if one is NOT certain?
