A post two days in a row!
I have a long term goal of being able to do a one-arm pushup and a one-arm pullup. This goal will force me to be as strong as possible while also weighing as little as possible. So I think it is a good goal as I am getting older. I am nearly 44 right now. My diet is not super clean but I have always been naturally thin.
I don't feel as young as I once did despite taking a lot of supplements that I didn't take back then. Though I am physically just as strong and I must still look young at least to some people. I was actually asked for ID while buying beer the other day.
I NEED to be ID'd buying anything! That would be quite the self esteem boost, you are lucky man! 😁🤣
That's a very cool goal, I hope writing it down here brought it back in to focus in your mind, or turned the intensity up a little, (I find that happens when I write it down or tell people about my plans sometimes). I hope to read about how pumped you are when you achieve it and read about how it inspired another goal in you, good luck, my friend. 🦾
IKR it was supposed to be three but as expected, I have overdone stuff a little this last week or 2 and kinda wiped myself out, but I am learning where my levels are at and shall act accordingly
and then overdo it AGAIN!!!Take good care dude 😎
I think I'll be able to achieve the one-arm pushup first since it is generally considered easier than a one arm chin-up. When I achieve one of them I'll create a post and then another post when I've achieved both. Be patient. This is going to take time to reach. Though I definitely want this ASAP.
Hope you stick around!
Dude, I will always be around, as long as I have a few breaths left lol. Likely, it will not be as often as I intended, continuity will likely be lacking 🤣 but I have made connections with a small collection of folks here and like the hottest, blockbuster Netflix series, I need to know how those stories pan out.
I am going to try my damnedest (is that even a word??????) when life is difficult and health is challenging to return on or around the 1st of every month, just to try and find some level of presence.
I guess that is a new micro goal for me. I have made that happen the last couple of months, to try and set a precedent I can stick to, but ideally it will be much, much more.
Hope Monday is an awesome one! 😎
The 1st of the month is just 3 or 4 days away as I type this. September has gone by quickly. Just about time for you to check in again...
October, equally rapid, right?
I was actually on the Greek island of Kos for my first day on October 1st, and was unable to reply on the hotel wi-fi... Then, as ever, time slipped (or raced) by as it has a tendency to do. I was intending to be around these parts a little more but I overdone it on holiday and suffered for it since.
Hence a new round of appointments at hospital and doc's, next weeks appointment list is pretty full already, but as ever, I am optimistic about getting back in charge of things and climbing uphill again.
The difference in 2 years to the day is night and day, I am super-thankful for that and take the bumps in the road in good humour.
I hope you are good man and life is bobbing along in a pleasant manner, no need for major excitement or greatest days ever, good, boring and average are all good, youth didn't teach me this but age certainly has.
You are quite accustomed to hugely tardy replies from me so I am sure I am forgiven 🤣 and probably right on time (for me lol)
I do appreciate ya Mike and always smile to see a message from you and as always wish you and yours a fabulous week ahead and a downward race to that time of year again... Then a new calendar comes out and it all begins again! 😎
2025 has been a very eventful year for me. I actually wish for more boredom at this point. Boredom was something I had a lot of in my youth and did not value it the way I do now.
Today happens to be my eighth birthday on chain. I got the comment from hive buzz today.
Hope you will continue to improve with your health.
Oh! Congratulations man!
Wow! Where does the time go??? My 8 is early in the new year, the journey here is not what I expected, probably not what I was hoping for but I 100% love the large handful of true, appreciated connections I have made here.
In a sense it is like the 21st century version of making pen-pals from all over the world. Dude, we would never have crossed paths in the so-called real world, so for that, I am so grateful, I took the leap and learned what a posting key was 😁
Once the health is on the way up, I will be striking out to make some online cash, learning tactics and considering avenues right now, if 'normal' work is out of the question (due to wild fluctuations between the times I feel great and lousy), then I cannot risk leaving my family without me OR money.
Onwards and upwards mate, all the best for whatever is ahead, hopefully a little boredom too 😎
