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! 

Back After It

  I decided to try the Longwood Loop as it looks like there is enough of a shoulder on the road to walk on. I was surprised that the roads were nearly empty. I guess the cold wind chills have forced most people back into bed. As hard as I tried, I just couldn’t get ahead despite my early wake up time. I did 6.35 miles and 3 x GP curls/presses. Just too many layers of clothes and too many things to do. I am try to head into my physical at the best version of the present me on Wednesday, Lord willing . Have a blessed Monday!

A Little Extra

 I have my yearly physical coming up on Wednesday, so I gave myself an extra workout this week. I don’t usually do 7 days, but I am enjoying getting outside in the freezing cold because I have plenty of cold weather gear. I’m hoping that maybe I Eve a pound lighter at my physical. I don’t have to teach at church so I have a little extra time. I did 6.31 miles and 3 x GP bench presses. This cold weather takes extra time and extra energy. I’m staying warm by the fire with my grandchild and stepson’s family at our house. Have a blessed day!

Freezing Cold Like Maine

  I went into the day with mixed thoughts. I was wishing that I had the wherewithal to go to the hotel with Charlotte and the family, but I just didn’t have it in me. The new day however, brought new strength. I went into the 7 degree temperature glad to have the strength to walk the streets of Ridge. Although my heart is in Maine, I am in a place where the Lord has provided me with the things that I need and more. I did the Randall Route with 1 x Ryan, and 2 x Whiskey to Kastal for 7.04 miles , the fabulous 40, 2 x GP curls/presses, 1 x core trainer presses/ rows , and 1 x core trainer presses.  The day ended fine. Thank you Lord!
