Today was a breakthrough on the treadmill. I ran a full 5K at 5.6 (10:42/mi) pace. Next up, 5.7!

I just turned off notifications for my social apps. I am going to try and get control of my app usage. My phone buzzes non-stop.
It’s time.
Personal fitness is more than just eating right and exercising.
The ride is in the shop for some maintenance. Excuse to skip the workout? Nope.
Body weight workout it is! Grateful that FitBod is flexible enough to accommodate this with a couple taps. #195by50

A disappointing weigh in. I have not made the best choices at various holiday events. The clothes are fitting looser though, so the time in the gym is paying off #195by50
Tuesday nights a group of misfits gather to talk about things that matter. Each year we have a gift exchange and collect things to donate somewhere. This year we collected items for the food pantry and clothing closet run by Lincoln Consolidated Schools.

Anytime you see Ezekiel and Jude, buckle up…
I was intending to be sitting at a Starbucks while my car was being worked on. Due to circumstances at the shop, I’m now enjoying a pipe in my garage.
A non-scale victory today: I woke up feeling kind of “meh.” I was just a bit off. It could have been easy to rationalize not going to the gym. Instead, I went to the gym and as I worked out the “meh” disappeared. Now, I feel great!
