Today we visited a new church and were conflicted. Everybody was friendly, the worship was incredible, the sermon was relevant and steeped in sound doctrine, and the kids loved their classes. The conflict came from the sheer size of the place. It was immense, truly a mega church, and from experience I know when you … Continue reading Day 12 – Fitness Journey – A Sunday Hike
Day 11 – Fitness Journey – Effects of Stupidity
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0POfkkZe10 Last night my wife and I went on a date, the first time we have done such a thing in a very long time. So we celebrated and made poor choices for dinner and desert. It was glorious, until it wasn't and we felt fairly awful. But all in all the evening was great--dinner, … Continue reading Day 11 – Fitness Journey – Effects of Stupidity
Day 10 – Measuring Day
It is Friday, and that means it's Measuring Day! It's a good thing, too, because I've vowed to blog every single day, and without Measuring Day I would have nothing to blog about. It is cold and raining and, as we have no gym membership, our daily walk is out. Perhaps if we didn't have … Continue reading Day 10 – Measuring Day
Day 9 – A Riverfront Jaunt
https://youtu.be/frcUt1zixtk As usual, I woke up at 3 this morning and got to work, driving for Uber and Lyft. Also as usual the customers were interesting and diverse, a reason I work so early in the morning. Seems the later I drive the less interesting people become. I suppose more responsible, typical "adult" adults come … Continue reading Day 9 – A Riverfront Jaunt
Day 8 – Fitness Blog – Breaking Three Miles!
Yesterday's solo exercise was far more invigorating than I imagined it would be. Not only did it energize me and give me a level of happiness that stayed with me for the rest of the day. After waking up at 3 in the morning and taking a twenty minute nap before exercising, I tried my … Continue reading Day 8 – Fitness Blog – Breaking Three Miles!
Fitness Journey – Day 7 – Three Mile Milestone
Today's forecast was an afternoon of snow and sleet, and as the girls' home school lessons are morning lessons getting out when it was a reasonable climate wasn't a possibility. I woke up at 3 in the morning and drove for Uber and Lyft for four hours, then took a short nap. Afterward I decided … Continue reading Fitness Journey – Day 7 – Three Mile Milestone
Day 6 – Learning how to manage energy
I started my day at 3AM and drove like crazy for Lyft for four hours before making enough to come home. I determined that today I would use the Samsung Health app to count my calories and see where I stood--a calorie deficit is what I'm going for every day, and is what is needed … Continue reading Day 6 – Learning how to manage energy
Day 5 – Another Grueling Workout
Today we packed a lunch before church and after church headed out to R.R. Pat Murphy Park for a trek around their walking trails. It was a beautiful 47 degrees, but as the park is right next to a lake the wind blowing off the lake was fairly chilly. Summer can't come fast enough. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAoQUU1OTjo … Continue reading Day 5 – Another Grueling Workout
Day 4 : Trying CBD Oil
May of 2013 saw tornadoes rip through Moore, Oklahoma, about fifteen miles south of the thrift store and ministry Stacy and I ran. Our church mobilized to help and yet we were unable due to our weight. It hurt and it spurred on a lifestyle change. Stacy and I both lost nearly one hundred pounds … Continue reading Day 4 : Trying CBD Oil
A Day Off — Day 3
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLlc2oI4fKo Yesterday and the day before were sunny and in the upper sixties, perfect days for exercise and my wife and I took advantage, walking two miles each day. That may not be much to some people but after a year of sitting in a semi truck for eighty hours a week it may as … Continue reading A Day Off — Day 3
