Back on the Wagon – Day 22

https://youtu.be/izJWQlvnFzI After four days of horribly cold weather and no vehicle to get us to an indoor exercising place--like a mall--we finally had a beautiful day! We headed off on a quick 1.5 mile trek to a park, played for a bit, then walked back for an exhausting and incredible workout. We most certainly will … Continue reading Back on the Wagon – Day 22 →

Cold Day K’Nex Build – Day 21

Well, today was another cold day and as the van is still in the shop it's another off day for me. No exercise and no work, but we made the most of it. I worked on a clay sculpture in the morning then slipped out of the house in the early afternoon for some CBD … Continue reading Cold Day K’Nex Build – Day 21 →

Day 20 – Unfortunate Breakdown

This morning began with a trip to the dealership for a diagnosis on our van's knocking problem in 13 degree weather. I planned on walking a few miles toward home and catching a Lyft for the remaining two miles, but changed my mind when I felt the cold. Five minutes in the cold waiting for … Continue reading Day 20 – Unfortunate Breakdown →

Day 19 – A Day of Remembrance

It is twenty degrees and snowy outside, so we have another down day. Tomorrow is going to be a hard one, but we most certainly will get exercising again. I went searching through old photographs today and came across some from years ago when we were on a similar fitness path. Stacy and I both … Continue reading Day 19 – A Day of Remembrance →

Day 18 – Trying Hemp Flower

https://youtu.be/p1YJqkxOQNQ Today was a crazy day. I started the day with a quick video on our new morning routine--making steel cut oats--and then promptly fell into a chasm of despair. It used to happen often but since beginning the CBD trials I have been fairly level. Today, however, nothing mattered and everything was awful. I … Continue reading Day 18 – Trying Hemp Flower →

Day 17 – Measuring Day!

I woke at 2 this morning and couldn't get back to sleep, so I left early and made my quota early. After a nap and a quick lunch we went to Earlywine Park again for our three mile walk. It was particularly hard for Stacy and Aria, both having taken two days off. Aria had … Continue reading Day 17 – Measuring Day! →

Day 16 – A frosty walk with a 7-year-old

Today's high was 23 degrees and it was overcast and icy out. As usual I was up at 3 this morning and out driving people around town. I felt like the only Uber and Lyft driver on the road today--the moment I picked somebody up I already had another rider queued up. I worked nonstop … Continue reading Day 16 – A frosty walk with a 7-year-old →

Day 15 – A Lazy Day

At 3 AM it was 32 degrees outside and misting. Just an hour later it had dropped to 27 and ice was covering everything. It made for a dangerous and stressful day. If Oklahoma City had de-icing trucks covering the city streets with sand and salt--or whatever they use--then an incredible amount of damage and, … Continue reading Day 15 – A Lazy Day →

Day 14 – Driverless Cars and Frosty Days

Yesterday was a beautiful sunny 60 degrees here in central Oklahoma. So, of course, today is 29 degrees, frosty, with a threat of snow and/or ice. I've traveled all of the lower 48 states through every season and I'm convinced that Oklahoma has some of the most bi-polar weather in the country. https://youtu.be/9MDAFpWpvoQ This morning … Continue reading Day 14 – Driverless Cars and Frosty Days →

Day 13 – Fitness Journey – Stupid Pain

https://youtu.be/mtq2MqK5pvM Today I visited my local CBD store and picked up a vaporizer and some wax-form CBD, in hopes it will be a cheaper and more sustainable solution. The 1000mg bottle I got was fairly expensive and just not something I can continue with indefinitely...not on an Uber driver's wages. The vaporizer was an investment … Continue reading Day 13 – Fitness Journey – Stupid Pain →
