Updated two pages: Songs for the Tush Push


New Pages here on my Website / Blog

Image used with permission of the copyright holderI used to write over on Squidoo.com but Squidoo went dark and all those pages got moved to HubPages.  When that happened, I took a look at the amount of work that I would need to do to make my “Squidoo” pages meet “HubPages” standards.

And I ran shrieking…..

Ok, ok, maybe I’m being a bit dramatic. Who? Me? “being dramatic?”  Naaaaawwwww

Perhaps there were not actual shrieks involved.

Well, ENNYway, I toggled all the articles to “private” so that they would not be visible to folks out on the InterWebz.

Now, I’m finally getting around to rewriting them.  Some will appear on HubPages.  Some, like these first two articles will be moved to here on my blog/website:

And…  I did a blog post a few days which gives a kind of “overview” or “introduction to the Tush Push.  So, if you have no idea what a “Tush” is or why you would want to “Push” it to music, well then this is the post for you:

Have you heard of the “Tush Push?”

snoopy_happy_danceI’m freakin’ out here!  Literally I’m typing with this HUGE ear to ear smile on my face.  Do you know what is like to drink your morning coffee with your lips stretched out ear to ear?

Messy.  Very messy.

But SEVEN FRIGGIN’ POUNDS!  It’s a miracle!  I’m seeing the face of Elvis in my coffeemate! There are frogs raining from the sky!

Ok, ok, I am a weeeeeeeeeee bit excited by this.

You may have noticed.

I do have trouble opening up and expressing myeslf after all.  I need to work on that.

SEVEN POUNDS! and 1% body fat!  In LESS THAN TWO WEEKS!

Did I mention I have lost weight?  Oh, I did? ooops.  My bad.

Just to be specific:   I weighed 318.6 lbs on 19-June-2015.  This morning, (AM reading), 02-July-2015, just 13 days later I weighed 311.12 lbs

318.6 – 311.12 = 7.48  (rounding) = 7.5 lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH. EM. GEE!  Like totally! [in my best Valley Girl voice]

This morning’s revelation…

Breaking NewsNo, I’m not going all Biblical on you.  Revelation as in “news.”  Back on 6-19-2015  or 25-June-2015 for my European friends, I weighed in.

I had not stepped onto the scale in literally months.  Yes, I had been a bad boy.  Mea Cupla.  I had partaken of the chocolate chip cookies.  I had drank of the 100% whole milk.  I had eaten of the deep dish pizza.

Maxima Mea Culpa.

And my doctor had given me a Read the rest of this entry

Have you heard of the “Tush Push?”


Line DancersAmong line dancers, there is one dance that reigns supreme: The Tush Push.

This dance has been around since “a long time ago in a galaxy far away” back when “line dances” became formally recognized as a separate and distinct dance genre.

All kidding aside, for many new line dancers, learning the Tush Push is a rite of passage.

Having learned it, you are no longer a person who does a line dance “every once in a while” or only at parties or weddings. Knowing the Tush Push means you have become a “line dancer.” 🙂

The Tush Push is one of the oldest, most popular, best known, line dances in the world!

Because the Tush Push has been around for, Read the rest of this entry

There is actually a “Method” behind the madness…

Motivation is what gets you going.  Habit is what keeps you going.If you’ve been reading my blog recently you know where I’m coming from:

333-335 lbs at my heaviest,
not healthy in any sense of the term,
and certainly not fit!

But I’ve not really talked very much about where I’m going.

And I’ve not talked very much about how I’m getting there.

Oh, I will…  I definitely will.  Watch for future posts on specific techniques.

For now, so you have some context in which to place this post you are reading, I have to very briefly give you a broad overview of what is going on as I make this journey to Health & Fitness.

Basically, I’m applying organizational skills that I acquired from my former life as a librarian to the task at hand.  Business practices like Gantt charts, procedural assessments, time management techniques, task efficiency studies, task check lists, etc.

The reality “on the ground” is that my life is in a certain state (one which I don’t like).

I strongly desire it to be in a radically different state!  Getting from here to there, Read the rest of this entry
