First Walk on the Boat

  It’s always refreshing to start the cruise workouts. Each cruise is a bit of a different experience. My goal is 10k to 7 miles. I decided to stay closer to the 10 k.. There were a lot of people out on the track making it not quite as peaceful, but it still serves the purpose. It’s always nice to see the port from the ship as you arrive. I am planning to do my strength work later in the day. I did 6.54 miles with a temp around 72 with a nice breeze in places. I’m at see tomorrow so no internet. It’s nice to dress in summer gear for a few days and feel summer warmth in the winter. Thank you Lord! God bless you!

Finishing on the Hill

  This morning I decided to a stay close to home doing the Raynor Hill 7 times including a warm up and cool down for 6.23 miles, the fabulous 40, 1 x weighted bench press, and 2 x GP bench presses. I am a little discouraged that the weight loss medication isn’t working. I will aim to be consistent with my eating and workouts. As I get older it is just harder to keep my weight down. Life is always full of challenges. Looking forward to Lord willing being in warmer weather next week with Charlotte. Tonight I am watching my mother in law as my wife and father in law do a comedy fund raiser at the church for our mission project. Have a blessed day!

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!!
