Day 20 - Halfway There

This is not about me. It's about making a difference. It's what happens when you are recovering in a hospital for one week. You learn firsthand that life is short. November 20th was Day 20 of Day 40 in the Push Yourself Up to Make a Difference. This was a special day to be on the course with my wonderful father-in-law to experience Bandon Dunes Golf Resort Sheep Ranch Golf Course. We were lucky to get a sunny day above 50 degrees in the middle of November. Although we have already exceeded the $5,000 fundraising goal for my friends at Homeboy Industries who help former gang members get back into society, we can always do more. Here is the link to give https://lnkd.in/ggXg4XH and the blog to follow along the journey. https://lnkd.in/gBmeu_i Thank you Ben Heiney for recording the video. #leadership #gratefulness #courageous #pushups #fundraising #charity #givebacktothecommunity #thanksgiving2020 #40strategy

Day 7 - One Week officially in the Books

Working on that daily habit to exercise again. 7 Push Ups completed. Starting to get that strength back. For those following, there will be a point that you need to break up the push ups into different sets. That is ok and makes sense. Here's my recommendation, whether you do the push ups from your knees or standard push ups, try to do the most amount of reps in a specific set right before you are unable to do anymore. Rest two minutes and then start your next set. Another option is to split the sets in different parts of the day. As you build strength, you will be able to do more reps in each set.

Day Four - Easy to Go Down...

Image
  I love it when the autumn turns leaves into beautiful colors such as this tree near my work. Yet, they will eventually fall to the ground and it will take months for these trees to develop trees again. That is how a push up program can feel like. You go down and you wonder if you can get back up. This gradual process will eventually turn into positive results. But it takes a bit of consistency and gradual progression. And yes, I feel a bit of soreness in my left shoulder. On to 40.
