I haven’t been making enough time to go to the gym lately. I’m frustrated by my lack of desire to go, but it is what it is. Instead of the gym I spend my time going to the park with Courtney and Riles..and sometimes working. In the end, I’ve started to feel lousy. I’m sleeping terribly and my eating habits are in the toilet.

So given all of this I thought I’d give the One Hundred Pushups regimen a go. I did the initial assessment and placed in the middle of the road (27 pushups if you must know). I thought getting back into the rhythm of working out would help me feel better.

So today was day three of a six week plan to get you up to doing 100 pushups. I easily did 62 this morning. I’m let down that it isn’t harder for me to do. I was hoping it would help energize me, but it hasn’t. It’s honestly been too easy. I’m going to continue until I can do 100 a day but I think I’ll get there sooner than six weeks.

Ideally, I’d like to establish a 30 minute routine that I can do in the morning. Since I’m an early riser I think my time would be better spent working out than surfing the web. Regardless, I think our gym membership will be canceled soon.

I count calories…well, sort of. I like to attempt to count calories. I try my best to eat right but I’m always cutting corners. Calorie counting helps keep me honest. With that said, I cheat a lot.

I like to try out various websites that help with calorie counting. It’s hard to find a single site that has everything I eat. My recent test-drive has been with Calorie Count Plus, a site provided by About.com. I like that it goes above and beyond just counting calories. It has a decent community side to it as well as a bountiful amount of information about food and general health.

I’m on day 2 of my attempt to count how healthy I eat. I’m not claiming any success, I’m just sayin’.

Last night I was recording what I had for dinner. I crunched the numbers and ran the food log report. 2 out of 7 items were healthy. The rest were given grades of a C+ or lower.

I pondered this for awhile, assessed the situation and proclaimed to Courtney, “Yep. I see my problem. It was the DQ Buster Bar and the mint ice cream that did me in.”

Courtney raised an eyebrow. “The Buster Bar and ice cream? You needed a website to tell you that.”

Apparently some of us know this information off-hand.
