Yesterday was a pretty bad day. Church was great, but my knee was hurting worse than it has in a long time and Stacy and I had some disagreements that lasted most of the afternoon. No big deal, we worked it out as we always do--I'm blessed to have a wonderful marriage full of trust, … Continue reading Back at It – Day 34 – Fitness Blog
Hanging by a Thread
It is day 32 in our fitness journey and I have to tell you, I feel as if this whole thing is hanging by a thread and I am at a crossroad. Sometimes you get to a crossroad and you either don't know you're there or you ignore the fact that you have a choice, … Continue reading Hanging by a Thread
Days 31 & 32 – Fitness Journey
I have been on many journeys in my life and they all have similar characteristics--they all have high points and low points. When I went on a crazy hitchhiking journey in my early twenties in hopes of finding purpose and willpower and inner strength it began with joy and excitement. As the second day dawned … Continue reading Days 31 & 32 – Fitness Journey
Day 30 – Breaking the Walking Fast
I sometimes envy people who live in places like SoCal, with such great weather so much of the year. Then I think about the insanity going on in those places and the cost of living and I'm grateful for Oklahoma. Even so, the weather here is insane, and will get only worse now that we … Continue reading Day 30 – Breaking the Walking Fast
Day 29 – Tornado Warnings
Yesterday was an off day. The weather was awful and Stacy was in a lot of pain from the previous day's walk. She has new shoes, so we thought that was likely to be the problem. Today I began working at 3:30 and for four hours straight I drove through horrible winds and heavy rain, … Continue reading Day 29 – Tornado Warnings
Day 27 – Breaking Records & Making Blisters
https://youtu.be/YZDqyNmX6WQ I slept more than usual last night and yet still felt very foggy and tired today. We were expecting rain once again and so I, to be completely transparent, was looking forward to a down day, exercise-wise. It didn't rain, however--though it did overnight--and so I made myself get all of us motivated to … Continue reading Day 27 – Breaking Records & Making Blisters
Forty Second Videos – Day 26
Man, yesterday was a tough one! We planned on not walking as it was supposed to be raining heavily all day. Of course, being Oklahoma, it turned out to be the most beautiful day of the year so far--72 degrees with not a cloud in the sky. It didn't matter, after all, because my left … Continue reading Forty Second Videos – Day 26
What to Eat? – Day 25
https://youtu.be/4e358Fyz4mE Today is a down day. Aside from the thunderstorms that are heading our way, Stacy is taking our youngest, Aria, to the doctor right now. The day before yesterday she jumped off a bed and hurt the heel of her foot. It wasn't bad enough to warrant immediate attention and we decided to give … Continue reading What to Eat? – Day 25
Ouch! – Day 24 – Measuring Day
Yesterday we went crazy and decided to step up our game. To put it in perspective, 24 days ago we could barely walk 1.5 miles. Soon it became 2 miles, then 3, and that was an awful lot to walk every day, something to certainly be proud of. But although three miles didn't become easy … Continue reading Ouch! – Day 24 – Measuring Day
A Christian’s Case for Hemp – Day 23 – Breaking 3 Miles
In my daily blog and Youtube Vlog I have spoken a bit about my battles with anxiety and depression and although I have given more details than ever before I don't think I've really elaborated in great detail. https://youtu.be/ul2jkQBgh3Q Before I get into that heavy subject--and I do think I have some good insight on … Continue reading A Christian’s Case for Hemp – Day 23 – Breaking 3 Miles
