GO!

My vacation is over and I’m back in school. It’s a new year and a new UBBT. I admit I have yet to add up the numbers for the last UBBT, I’m kind of afraid of doing it. I know I’m going to be short on a lot of things. The end really snuck up on me, the past year flew by and I wish it had ended with a bigger bang. Over all I consider the past year to be a great success. It was definitely one of the best years of my life.

Even if I didn’t get to do everything I had wanted to do for the last UBBT I still managed to carry the spirit of it with me. My attitude has shifted and I’m picking up habits and beliefs that will help keep me on the path of self improvement. I get the idea of what the UBBT about and I believe in it.

I enjoyed my holiday very much even though I slacked off thoroughly and let myself get a bit soft. I was restless yesterday, from not getting enough exercise, and improvised a workout at home with some dumbbells, a plank of wood, a couple chairs and a recliner. I was disappointed to discover I’ve lost some strength and endurance. I’m ludicrously sore today and it feels fantastic. I’ve come to realize how reliant I am on having a vehicle. Not being able to drive to kung fu, the grocery store, gym, school, friends...etc results in me sitting on my butt far too much. I need to work on my discipline and get a vehicle as soon as possible.

At least it’s a wakeup call, a motivational kick in the pants to pick up the pace. UBBT 7 has begun but yesterday was the first time it really sunk in. Starting out the first day with a 1000 pushups/situps felt great, aside from the scab on my back caused by situp rug burn. I have a lot of work ahead of me. It should be fun.
