Good morning,

Here is my February health update. Again, I’m only two out of three. I really need to step up my game on the pull ups, especially since my friend Ryan and I are in friendly competition and he’s already at four. To be fair, he started off already able to do two at the beginning of January and I’m still struggling for my first one, but that’s no excuse. I need to catch up and beat him to 23 on December 31st!

I found this YouTube video which shows you how to build up to pull ups. The methods I was using are on the right track, but this is a little more structured and graduated to help build up strength. I’m going to follow this for the month of March to get my first pull up. Ryan - you’re not allowed to watch. In fact, I think there’s a fresh batch of doughnuts at Tim Horton’s with your name on it...



A very positive thing, though, is that part of my goal is to lose 1/2” around my waist at the navel every month. So far, January and February have both been 3/4” drops, which is fantastic! I’m very happy about that, and the push ups are coming along well too going down to a 90 degree bend at the elbows.

Check the goal tracker log for the details. Have a great weekend!
