Day 465 - ShovelingX & P90x Week 2

Started the workout day with some shoveling. Then after warming back up I did Chest and Back for the second time. I did notice that I did some extra reps on a couple of the exercises but nothing to get too excited about.
I also added AbRipperX for the first time too. You know those 8 minute ab videos? Well this is 16mins and you never stop. There are over 350 moves in the video, I did about 200 and will pick it up on Friday when I do it again.

Thanks for checking it out!!!

Day 459 - Better Late Than Never

Day 3 of P90x - Shoulders & Arms. I would do that workout twice if I never have to do Plyometrics again. It's 5 sets of 3 excercises. Shoulders, Biceps, Triceps and repeat.
I also got some advice on soreness and recovery. Thanks guys! I plan on mixing on some running and cycling when the soreness calms down a bit. I would like to get in a 5k around March or April but Ive never done it and it seems a bit daunting.
Also, I'm doing "The Ride" with Johnny and Company this summer. Check it out at www.ridingtherivalry@blogspot.com Basically they ride from Yankee Stadium to Fenway Park. Mostly they cover NY and MA. It's going to be great. Let me know if you have any media connections that want to cover it or can or want to help in any way.

Day WayToMany

Today is Day 2 of P90x. Plyometrics. "Its the X in P90x."

Starting to feel sore, but I really do feel better and motivated. I made so e promises and don't want to let anyone down so that helps. Also it helps that I'm working on 10-12 or so goals on my list at the same time.
I'm going to post my updates daily (hopefully).

Day 428 - Very Happy

Wow. What an Idiot I am. With (almost) total disregard for my list for 164 days, I have really put myself in a bind.

OK. Its 2010 and I have to get going on this. Fortunetly for me(and my New Fiance) I have completed one of the most important/special goals on the list. So without further ado(yes, that's right)...

#12 - Ask Jen to Marry Me - About 2 weeks before I talked to her Parents and got her fathers blessing and with some help from a family friend at Christo Jewelers in Clinton, I got the ring made and picked it up on the 23rd. Christmas Eve came and after a short walk and a game that Jen and I played when talking about our futures, there was a one-knee proposal and a very happy former girlfriend and new fiance. For all you jerks, She said Yes!



Number crunching is in process to see how far I set myself back...

Day 264 - Golfing and Caching

30.) Hit a 90 in 18 Holes of Golf

Golfing at Traditions w/ Motts.

Back Nine 55.... Got some work to do.
4:54 PM Jul 27th from Twitterrific

Notice how that is where the tweets stop... In my quest to shoot a 90 in Golf I was already 10 over the pace coming off the back 9 at Traditions. In my defense the back 9 is harder then the front, but there is just no way I`m going to go 10 under on the front 9 and as it turned out I did far worse. I carded a 114 on the day. NOT what I needed for the ego or a confidence boost, but I am trying and somebody a million years old said that counts for something. Anyway, I`m not doing the list to try so I`ll work on it and get it done.








#77 - Do 250 Geocaches: (61/250) now (66/250) - 26.4% Complete
Got to Jens` late last night and had nothing to do until she got out of school today so I looked up some caches and there happen to be 7 FTF`s in Brooklyn. A FTF is a first to find. That means it has never been founf by anybody else yet. I set out and actually got 2 of them. My first two FTF`s. I also got 3 others, but the cords were wrong on one of them and I couldnt locate another one... Good Times! We will probably do some more this weekend, so I`ll keep you up to date!


Traditions Golf Course has won the battle but I will win the war...

Day 259 - Key Lime Pie

Well I was getting bored last night and to be quite honest, worried that I wasn`t making any progress on my list, so Jen and I decided to make a pie. We choose Key Lime Pie, probably due to the fact that we were wishing we were on vacation in Ohio with everyone else and Key West was the last place we went. It was very quick and easy... could not make the meringue because we didn't have any Cream of Tartar, but next time I will be sure to whip that up...

Day 242 - 101 in 1001 Progress Report

 

My buddy Brian did one of these posts and I liked it so I thought I would do my own, mostly for me but I think someone somewhere might like to see this too...

I am actually, for the first time, getting a little worried about the ambitiousness of my list, and yes that is a word. No seriously its actually in the dictionary.

Main Entry:am·bi·tious
Pronunciation:\am-ˈbi-shəs\
Function:adjective
Date:14th century
1 a: having or controlled by ambition b: having a desire to achieve a particular goal : aspiring
2: resulting from, characterized by, or showing ambition
— am·bi·tious·ly adverb
— am·bi·tious·ness noun

Legal: ambitious. (2009). In Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary.

OK, OK, Sorry!!!

By the Numbers:

% Complete of 1001 Days - 23.76% (242 days)
% Days Remaining - 76.24% (759 days)

% of Goals Completed - 17.82% (18 Goals)
% of Goals and Goals that are OnTime - 24.75% (25 Goals)

WOW... That is crazy!!! At least to me it is... 26.76% of the Days Complete and I am actually more than 1% ahead of the game... To get to 25 I, obviously, added 7 goals that I mathmatically was OnTime for ...

These include:
72.) Read 50 Books (10/50)... Im almost done with 2 more!
71.) Vote in Every Election (1/1)
77.) Do 250 Geocaches (59/250)... I have to update on 4 more.
90.) Send 35 Letters to Friends (14/35)
100.) Make at least 5 Trips a Year to Visit Friends (4/5 Year 1)
24.) Learn 50 New Recipes (13/50)
36.) Go to 2 of 5 Best Parties in the World (1/2)


The problem with these numbers is that I picked off some of the easier ones in the beginning. I still need to Visit 6 Different Countries, Fend off Malaria, Increase the Oxygen Level for All of Mankind, Save Way To Much Money, Become The Hulk and Learn Mandarin Chinese... Should be a cake walk!!!!

But..
