			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ya know meng, finding myself cheating on a pushup new years resolution</p>
<p>new years resolution reflected in august</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-173" title="NewYearsResolution" src="/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/NewYearsResolution.jpg" alt="NewYearsResolution" width="300" height="334" /><br />
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&#8217;d whimper a mere 15. while heading down and back up 15 , the lazy impervious thought came into mind ah i don&#8217;t need to keep going.</p>
<div id="attachment_176" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-176" title="bad voice pushup" src="/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/all-push-ups-300x268.jpg" alt="bad voice pushup" width="300" height="268" /><p class="wp-caption-text">bad voice pushup</p></div>
<p>whats that saying? &#8211; always listen to that inner voice? listen to your body?</p>
<p>why is my body telling me to give up?</p>
<p>why couldn&#8217;t even a healthy chain-smoking 24 year old stand to do 65 pushups over 30 minutes?</p>
<p>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 &#8216;do-able&#8217; in absolute certainty. wishy-washy certainty?</p>
<p>this was a new years resolution</p>
<p>66.666666666666666667% of a years&#8217; time passed:</p>
<p>why is it that the New Years Resolution is associated with failure?</p>
<p>This leads to the question that started this blog post &#8211; What if the inner voices, the hunches, the bodies&#8217; voices are slightly off key?</p>
<p>this morning it was nice find, a timely 100 sets of 3, topped off by a slow 10 rep -</p>
<div id="attachment_172" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-172" title="10000 pushups" src="/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/10000-pushups-300x219.jpg" alt="10000 pushups" width="300" height="219" /><p class="wp-caption-text">10000 pushups</p></div>
<p>how can certainty be delivered if one is NOT certain?</p>
