Last blog post for the year 2011

The UBBT 8 challenge has truly made a change and a difference in my life both with my Kung Fu and with my family around me.

I would definitely participate in it again, and recommend it to everyone.

My goals for the UBBT 8 where;

1. 52 Journal entries
2. 50,000 Push ups
3. 50,000 Sit ups
4. 156 reps of Wudang 5 Animal Qigong
5. 2,080 chin ups
6. 5,200 kicks
7. 1000 acts of kindness
8. 1000 Liters of water consumed
9. 1000 reps of Lao Gar form
10. 365 fruits (I do not eat fruits, so I am challenging my self to eat at lest one fruit a day)
11. 365 days pop free (Quite drinking pop and other soft drinks)
12. Read 3 books on sailing (required reading for ASA Certification)
13. Learn how to sail a boat (take sailing lessons on one of our fresh water lakes)

(Regarding goals 12 and 13 – I have always wanted to sail around the world when I retire so these goals are working towards a longer term goals I have)

14. Grade for Black Belt

My accomplishments and failures are;

1. 42 Journal entries L
2. 51050 Push ups J
3. 51170 Sit ups J
4. 206 reps of Wudang 5 Animal Qigong J
5. 2082 Chin ups J
6. 7018 Kicks J
7. 934 acts of kindness J
8. 1092 Liters of water consumed J
9. 931 reps of Lao Gar form L
10. 365 fruits eaten J
11. 365 day pop free J
12. 0 books on sailing read J
13. 0 sailing lessons taken J
14. 1 Black Belt grading completed J

Some of the main things that I learned from participating in the 2011 UBBT 8 was that never stop doing your push-ups and sit-ups, 50,000 is not impossible and it will help keep you focused on the other goals that you have set. Don’t set your goals to low, you will be amazed on what you can get accomplished in a year. Never stop journaling, there are great benefits both personally and publicly that comes with journaling.

I will miss being part of the 2012 team next year but I will be following along with their progress.

An End is only but a New Beginning
