At the end of this week I’m reflecting on and savoring some minor accomplishments, and getting ready for new challenges. I’m proud of what I accomplished for UBBT during the work conference, not as much as during a normal schedule, but much more than I would have ever imagined in those circumstances: 7.55 miles ; 460 crunches and modified pushups; …
1st ubbt
Wow…what a group workout, I awoke to many sore muscles I didn’t realize would have been sore, thanks Mr.Oliver for the group workout and the reminder to drink lots of water, I found that extremly helpful today.
UBBT First Group Class
Our first class together as UBBT Team 8 was something unique. It’s satisfying to know I personally could complete the class… the sheer numbers! In the first half: 240 pushups, 240 situps, 480 wall kicks. The second half felt more like playtime: bear crawl, lunge kicks, flutter kicks, and more. I wondered at points if the exercise was beyond my …
UBBT on the road!
I’m writing this post from San Diego (rough!), and the first professional conference of my year. A lot of my workday involves sitting at a computer. At conferences though, we do a lot of running–back and forth down the convention center–as well as a lot of sitting, which is often on the floor in the back of the room by …
okay 2011…
The work outs have been on track, finally got a 4mile walk in yesterday and I’m hopeful for another walk tonight…gotta keep the motivation to walk in the rain! My acts of kindness are comming along quite well, I have 2 community projecs completed and have found my “living hero” whom I’m interviewing next week…wow what great accomplishments so far, …
A Tofu Smoothie… Mmmm
Tofu Goodness Just For You Just wanted to offer up another tofu recipe. This one will likely be more appealing… I mean, who doesn’t love smoothies?!?!?! The thing with this recipe is that it hides the tofu really well because it calls for silken tofu. Silken tofu basically has the consistency of yogurt so it’s a perfect swap. Ingredients: 6 …
Happy New Year, Happy UBBT 8!
Here it is–the start of a new year! I’m doing something on this day I’ve never done before–reviewing UBBT numbers from December. Wow! 46,350 pushups to go…. We are saying goodbye to visiting family today, and also a good number of sugary holiday treats, some of which, I have to say, actually entered my body. I cleaned the pantry and …
UBBT Praise Report
We’ve been training now for a month. We’ve all encountered struggles. Today it was all 13 months are already worth the struggle because I made orange juice! Silly sounding perhaps… Let me explain. A family I watch was out of juice and the girls asked for the usual orange juice. There was a bag full of oranges for juicing. Their …
Week 4- An Audience
It’s normal in the dojo to do kata, practice our basics, even mount each other to practice a grappling self defense. I forget how these seem to other people…nnMy car wouldn’t start Sunday. Thankful for AAA, I called for roadside assistance and had the usual hour long wait. What to do for an hour? Well, I hadn’t practiced kata yet… …
UBBT Week 4
Another week is gone. Chirstmas has come and gone. The new year is close behind. This next year proves to be a good one. So far I’m keeping apace with my running, pushups, crunches, squats, kata and kindness. This new year should prove to be one of the greatest challenges of my life. I am changing schools, starting at a …
