On the river again

My wife is pretty great! 33 weeks pregnant and she coordinated with a neighbor for a little R&R for me. She said was had been such a good sport I needed to get out of the house and away from all of the estrogen for a while. I am so blessed to be married to […]

Week 12 Day 5: A lesson in flexibility…but not that kind

What I mean is flexibility when it comes to daily schedule. When things become important you find the time to do them. Like today for instance. I knew that I had a busy Friday and looking at my day it was going to be hard to sneak my workouts in due to what I had […]

Week 12 Day 4: It’s Up to You…

You will keep the mind that is dependent on You in perfect peace, for it is trusting in You. Isaiah 26:3 HCSB Leading with the verse today because I wanted to talk about little about it. Oh there are so many different things you could talk about with this verse but I wanted to focus […]

Week 12 Day 3: Water, water everywhere…

Brad Paisley and Coleridge aside, I want to talk about hydration. Something not to be taken for granted and usually isn’t when we are on a pretty good exercise regime. Going out for a run or bike ride, heading to the gym its easy to remember to bring water. However, if you are like me […]

Week 12 Day 2: The return to sleep (or lack thereof)

Oh sleep, sweet sleep is at a premium around my house. My wife is in the third trimester and has been hit with a trifecta: heartburn, Braxton Hicks contractions and a very active baby. All conspire to create a recipe for no sleep. It also means no sleep for me. I try to do what […]

Week 12 Day 1

Sometimes all I can do is just post the pic. “Don’t let your spirit rush to be angry, for anger abides in the heart of fools.” Ecclesiastes 7:9 HCSB http://bible.com/72/ecc.7.9.hcsb

Week 11 Day 5: Friday I’m in Love

Okay bad reference to a Cure song aside today got a note from my wife and unborn daughter in my lunch box. It was a great, uplifting boost to my day. I am so blessed to have my wife, the love of my life, and now a daughter coming soon. As we get closer to […]

Week 11 Day 4

So today I wondered how long it takes me to finish a set. Just to get an idea of how much time does this take out of the day. I timed my second set of the day and it took me a whopping two minutes and twenty-eight seconds. So for 4 sets it took me […]

Week 11 Day 3: Wednesday

Hello and happy Wednesday. You may have noticed that the reps for the robot trio went from 25 to 15. That’s because I started to use 5 pound weights which makes those a little more difficult. I had a busy morning so had to shift 3 sets to the afternoon. So today the Who’s Your […]

Week 11 Day 2

The last three reps of man makers were the most satisfying and most difficult of the day. So much so I almost forgot to do my last sets of lunges and French presses. However, I finished them up and got my workout done today. The verse from today got me to much contemplation over the […]
