Crunches
My target 2000 Crunches
I’m crunching to support families facing childhood cancer
This March I’m committing to crunching everyday from the 1st to the 31st of March to support children, young people and their families facing cancer.
I’ve created this page because I want to make a difference. I’m inspired by the work that Redkite does and wanted to support them by raising funds through my participation in the crunch4kids with cancer challenge.
Help me help them by donating to my page through the donate button now! The more people who support Redkite enables them to support more children and families, so please donate and share my page with your friends and family! Thank you for your generous support, it means a lot!

My Updates
From darkness to light!
Friday 12th Mar I’m sitting here on the bathroom floor at a ridiculous time on a Friday morning unable to sleep... I’m tired and feel a little yuck in the tum, but my days since Wednesday have been filled with a lighter, calmer, and love accepting and giving me!! I’m back on my meds and have been feeling pumped again to complete a load of crunches for the team... although I am still struggling to understand why I bother as all I’m doing is crunching for literally team numbers, I’ve also accepted that I’m crunching for myself... now on my meds I am super focused and am so easily in “the zone” that I’m finding it so easy to just keep on crunching and working out!I’m not sure now however, sitting here on the floor at an ungodly hour is because I honestly can’t sleep or because the meds are keeping me awake... so though I feel excellent about being focused and positive, I feel a little unnerved that my meds however good, are actually not a great TV thing?
Anyway , they have certainly more pros than cons right now, so I’m gonna roll with the “crunches”! Lol!
Go team!
Why!?
Monday 8th Mar So I’ve had a. Purple days off from “blogging”, still crunching (don’t worry I’m not someone to give up on something that I say I’m going to follow through with), though thinking that I’m doing it for nothing other than to get for for myself.... no one is monitoring me or my progress apart from me, I’m not raising any money either.... not getting sponsored like they used to do it ie $2 per crunch or whatever.... so what’s the point, why say I’m part of a team, when I’m only really a number, an extra person to add to the list of “team members”? It seems selfish of me to claim that I’ve done anything for this charity apart from the few dollars I gave myself... it’s seems selfish for anyone to say that they are doing all these crunches etc and team activities for a charity... the most selfless thing about this is when people are able to stop thinking about how the good that they are doing or how good they feel about “taking part” and actially jist havd over some cash, without feeling recognition or sating that they are part of a team that’s raising money for this charity... what do they think they are doing apart from feeling self gratification?Anyway, no one reads this so I guess I’ll just put this down as a diary entry or something haha!
That’s me out for now, until next time..
Go red kite for coming up with an idea to get people off their arses to exercising without them realising that they are actually exercising for themselves.
Peace.
Back to the blog!
Friday 5th Mar So I’m back, not that anyone is reading my blogs or noticing any of the progress I’m making apart from the computer program calculating the numbers I’m putting in...Anyway, I’ve been plodding through getting the crunches and squats done for the team all whilst sporting (as the upper class would put it) a rather nasty cold...
For the team o day, but what does it actually achieve? I’m not reposing any money, all I’ve done is donate a few bucks myself for the (apparently) benefits of being in a vip group for “access” to what they’re calling challenges to have any slim chance of winning a prize...
I’m happy to be part of the team, of course I am, and I’m happy to help Taoiseach funds for this worthy cause, but what is it that I am actually contributing? I’ve given donations, now what? Do the crunches, yes, but no one really cares about my progress or how many crunches I do.. the cause is for raising money, so raise money... for all anybody knows, I’m doing eff all crunches each day and just popping in random numbers to make it look like I’m doing something more than giving a few bucks... don’t worry, I’m an honest person and am doing the hard work, even feeling physically better for it... but why does it feel like I’m doing it for nothing? How bloody selfish of me in the first place for me to even pose thos question..
Anyway, I’m doing it, I feel physically firer, and it’s for a good cause...
I’m sure I’ll feel happier about it in the end.
Until next time.
Go team Health Tree Fit-Nest.
The first worst day!
Wednesday 3rd Mar Day three and I woke up with a wet snotty nose, the kind that once you sit up the clear not just begins to flow and doesn’t stop!So today instead of getting stuck in and doing an amazing rockstar effort of crunches (as this is how I imagine it playing out in my head anyway haha), I slept and tried my hardest to avoid screaming children.... worked to some extent I suppose as I managed to get maybe an hour’s worth of sleep....
Due to my lack of feeling in the zone and copping a cold, I opted for the late night attempt at crunches and squats before rolling my sad icky s of into bed...
I got what I needed to get done l, fine.... only barely... doing a total of 200 instead of the previous 300... took my time... a lot of time, but nonetheless it’s done...
Hopefully this cold won’t last long, although my immunosuppressants say otherwise...
Until tomorrow... I’m out!
Go team Health Tree!
Still going strong!

Monday 1st Mar Forst things first, a coffee to wake up to prepare for the chaos of what’s to come this morning... two very loud and demanding humans! After tangling the gremlins and taking them off to daycare, I’m back at home getting set with my music and mat to get pumped up and set for my first combination of 100 “crunches”!I made it! Flew through that easier than I thought, but then again it’s only day 1 lol!
Now for plenty of water and a vegetable out informs of Netflix before bothering to get up and do my homely duties lol
