Consistent

  There was nothing unique about today’s workout, but it is a blessing to have the health to be consistent. Nothing in life can be taken for granted. So I thank God for the strength for the day. I did the Longwood loop doing 6.33 miles, the fabulous 40, 2 x core trainer press/rows, and 1 x GP curls/presses. Lord willing, one more day of training here before our cruise. Christ be glorified!

Icy Morning

  I knew that there was a threat of slippery streets with a winter weather advisory for freezing rain. It was above freezing when I woke up, but the temperatures quickly took a dip below freezing. There were spots that were slippery, but I stayed on the side of the road where the gravel and grit were not washed away. I did 1 x Ridge, Whiskey, Raynor, and 1 x Ridge, Kastal, Raynor for 6.68 miles, the fabulous 40, and 3 x GP bench presses. I have Bible Study tonight. I have a lot going on, and somehow I feel a little off because of my new medication. I just feel a little different. I have a lot going on in my head, but I just can’t write it out. Have a blessed day friend.

A Spark in My Step

  So far on my weight loss medication, I haven’t lost any weight, but I have increased my walking pace. I am confident that over time that I will lose weight and get to 190 or lower. Today I did the Randall Route plus1 x Ryan for 6.61 miles, the fabulous 40, 2 2 x core trainer presses/curls, and 1 x GP curls/presses. I have been in prayer for my son in law who was let go and doesn’t have a job, but he has 3 children and a wife. God is faithful, and we always have reason to pray! I have slowly started packing for our cruise this Saturday. Committing this and all to the Lord!

Foggy Forward

 I woke up with an awake body , but a foggy mind. It was hard just to focus and think clearly. I had a shorter night’s rest as I watched until the end of the Super Bowl. I did the Longwood Loop for 6.33 at a good clip, the fabulous 40, and 3 x GP bench presses. It’s Charlotte’s Birthday today and we’re going out to eat tonight at the Indian Restaurant. Have a blessed day friends!

Good Finish

  I was a little anxious this morning starting my new weight loss medication. You never know how your body will react to new medications especially when you have potential issues with them. I got out and did the Randall Route with one x Ryan avenue and one bathroom break for 6.75 miles, and 2 x GP Presses/Curls. I have been a bit behind on my morning schedule, but I am managing. So far, so good with my new medication. Super Bowl Sunday coming- Go Patriots!!

Early Start, Moving Like an Old Fart

 I got out a bit early, but I just couldn’t get my body moving enough fast. I was on the slow side of average. Everything that I did this morning seemed to be in slow motion. The important thing is that the work is getting done. I did the Longwood Loop every mile in the 19’s doing 6.33 miles, the fabulous 40, and 3 x GP bench presses. I had a decent physical last night—- still pre-diabetic, but a little lower numbers. The doctor is putting me on a non GLP weight loss medication to help me get my weight down and lower my blood sugar. I’m grateful for the help of medicine! Have a blessed day friends!

Mini Me

  This morning my alarm woke me up. I felt so tired. Everything that I did seemed to take effort. My Bible reading took forever to do. It took me a long time to get dressed. When I finally got out the door it was on the late side of normal. My pace was decent, but I had to make one pit stop. I got back later and modified my work to the fab 40, 2 x 20 reps GP bench presses, and 6.75 miles on the Randall plus 1 x Whiskey to Kastal and back. Even though I’m a little behind, I’m grateful!
