Another good non-scale victory today. It would have been really easy to skip this morning. I didn’t. It felt great to lift today! #195by50

Calorie goal: ✅ Protein goal: 🚫 Fiber goal: 🚫 Workout: ✅ Tigers beat Ohio: ✅

All in all a good day. The misses were close, just a few grams. I can’t wait to the gym tomorrow!

I just grabbed my guy, Justin Belt’s new book, Purpose in the Pause. I am excited to read it conjunction with _Slow Theology _by Swoboada and Gupta. 📚

Cardio Day!

Ran 3 miles non stop today. A huge NSV for me!

I am going to be able to do a Park Run soon. #195by50

October 1 was a strong day. Hit all the goals today.

The dinner I made tonight was so good! 93/7 ground beef, peppers, onion, taco seasoning, refried beans, guac, salsa, plain greek yogurt on spinach. Filling and delicious! #195by50

A good friend shared with me the idea of “NSV.”

It stands for “non-scale victories.”

The NSV today: getting to the gym and hitting the lift before I did anything else today.

If you’re on the fitness journey, what is your NSV today?

I was watching the Tigers game.

They started losing.

I switched to listening to the Tigers game.

They tied the game.

This is my life now.

On a day I didn’t want to be here, it still got done. I feel great now that the lift is over. It was worth showing up! #195by50

The gym didn’t sound fun today.

I am sore.

Doesn’t matter.

Here I am.

Someone needs to wake up that guy from Green Day…

Cardio day is the worst. Cardio day is done. #195by50

Today was tricky, I didn’t have my usual breakfast. I was going to miss my protein goal. So, I ended the day with Greek yogurt mixed with two scoops of protein powder.

A “chocolate pudding”. It was not what one might call “delicious.”

However, it got me to my goals. #195by50

I think I might start podcasting again. I’m considering a lot of different ideas. But, the one that has most traction with at the moment is talk about what I’m reading, studying in Scripture, and how it relates to spiritual well-being.

Does that resonate? Is there a different angle you think “The Pastor Next Door” should tackle?

9/22 259.9 9/29 254.3 (average weight from Monday to Monday)

After my lift today, I unlocked the 5 million pounds lifted badge! Pretty cool.

5 lbs down! 60 to go! #195by50

Hanging out at the University of Iowa for a football Saturday was fantastic! Loved spending the day with Amy, E, Paige, Alan and Lisa.
