  2022 Workouts

  In 2022, I worked out 130 times using the same prin­ci­ple and tips I used in the pri­or years. I missed a lot of work­outs, but I nev­er cease to amaze by how small num­bers add up over the year. Month Num­ber of work­outs Excus­es for missed work­outs Notes Jan 9 Skipped first week for hol­i­days. Feb 13 Mar 11 Missed… Read more

  2021 Workouts

  I exer­cised 142 times in 2021. When I took a count in July, I antic­i­pat­ed miss­ing about 10 work­outs through the remain­der of the year, but I actu­al­ly missed just one. At 3x per week, I was lucky enough to work out about 47 of 52 weeks. That makes 2021 yet anoth­er good year in terms of phys­i­cal activ­i­ty and… Read more

  Worldwide WP 5K 2015

  I com­plet­ed WWWP5k this after­noon. This is my first 5k run. I’m pleased that it is part of world­wide Word­Press com­mu­ni­ty event. I ran in the Unitec uni­ver­si­ty cam­pus near my home. I hoped run in the near­by park but the day got hec­tic and I end­ed up run­ning in my beau­ti­ful neigh­bor­hood. I am hap­py with… Read more

  Three milestones and two goals

  It is rain­ing mile­stones this week. I hit 100 day streak in med­i­ta­tion. I start­ed med­i­tat­ing this Jan­u­ary but failed rather quick­ly. I say with expe­ri­ence that try­ing to start med­i­ta­tion with twen­ty-minute ses­sions is a sure shot way to stum­ble. So I start­ed again in May with Calm app. I start­ed with their begin­ner pro­gram and even­tu­al­ly real­ized ten… Read more

  Exercise Milestone

  I fin­ished exer­cis­ing this after­noon and checked in to Coach.me to find this inter­est­ing mile­stone. It is indeed 211th check-in as I only start­ed count­ing after the first eleven. 110 of those were in 2014. The rest 101 are in this year. This cheered up my oth­er­wise regret­ful after­noon. I ate well up until lunch and then screwed… Read more

  Elevate milestone

  I reached 401 day long streak on Ele­vate today. I was at 101 last time when I wrote about this cool edu­ca­tion­al app. Ele­vate com­bines two of my pas­sions: delib­er­ate prac­tice and build­ing tiny habits. This is what makes me reach out to Ele­vate as soon as I wake up every morn­ing. It hurts to break a habit streak. Espe­cial­ly,… Read more

  Some inspiration for exercising

  One of my awe­some exer­cise mates shared this moti­va­tion­al video. It is not that peo­ple who don’t exer­cise lack moti­va­tion or don’t know the facts men­tioned in this video. And I don’t think any­one instant­ly starts work­ing out sole­ly look­ing at this video. Great watch, nev­er­the­less. I loved it. Read more

  Leveled up in Pushps

  I just com­plet­ed the Lev­el 2 Pushp Chal­lenge and signed up for Lev­el 3. Lev­el 3 helps me do 30 pushups in four weeks. I reached to 30 pushups in the last few days but today, on the last day of Lev­el 2, I had to land on my knees at 28. But the num­bers does­n’t mat­ter much. The… Read more
