Cardio day…

Not as fun as lifting days…

Working toward a 30 minute 5K…

A fitness summary shows a 3.1-mile run lasting 38 minutes with a heart rate range of 97–167 beats per minute.

“Change is not hypocrisy, it is growth.” I saw that quote recently.

It’s important to know that you can learn more information and change. Changing your mind does not cut your integrity, it enhances it.

A good first day of phase 2! Hit my protein goal and stayed under the calorie goal for today. Had a great lift this morning too. One day at a time! #195by50

Some have been asking about what apps I’m using to track my fitness goals.

For calories: Lose It! For lifts: FitBod For cardio: Strava

They all tie into my Apple Health app.

Dinner was fire! Posting my meals is really helpful accountability for me.

Day one of phase two is nearly in the books. I forgot how much I enjoyed the process of moving and eating well.

One of the things that I have learned over the last few years, in many areas of my life, is that faithfulness counts far more than exuberance.

Today’s lunch was last night’s leftovers, nearly 60g of protein! 💪

Oh, this is excellent from @bjhess:

What I wouldn’t give right now to be a bit more naive.

What I wouldn’t give for all of us to be a bit more naive.

A bit less social media.

A bit less 24-hour news.

I really need to develop some intentionality in spending of my days. There is too much time lost to scrolling and mindlessness. I am using today, my day of rest, to process this and come up with a plan to begin implementing.

This morning’s breakfast. It was savory and tasty. I seasoned the omelette with pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and rosemary.

An egg white omelette with peppers and spinach accompanied with an English muffin and black coffee.

The nutrition information for this morning’s breakfast.

Today I begin a new phase of my journey towards physical fitness.

I turn 50 on September 7, 2026.

I will weigh 195lbs on that day.

Today, I weigh 259.9.

I keep thinking about what I am seeing online these days and realizing more and more that integrity is the rarest of qualities.

Your Yes to God demands your No to all injustice, to all evil, to all lies, to all oppression and violation of the weak and the poor, to all godlessness and mocking of the holy. Your Yes to God demands a brave No to everything that will ever hinder you from serving God alone, whether it be your profession, your property, your house, your honor before the world. Faith means decision.
