It was sure fun hanging with Ethan and Paige tonight in Iowa City! Can’t wait for tomorrow, Iowa vs Indiana at Kinnick Stadium and tailgating with our friends the Fisks.

Traveled to Iowa today to visit E. Missed the protein goal, was a bit over on calories.
Tomorrow will be tricky with tailgating. But that’s OK, because it’s the journey not the destination.


I didn’t want to go to the gym today. I did anyway. Fitness is not a destination, it’s a journey. #195by50



Another day of hitting my macro goals.
I have figured out a fiber hack: Aunt Millie’s 5 Seed Low Carb bread. It has 35 calories and 9g of fiber per slice.
Forgot to get a pic of lunch (it was tuna and not very pretty 😂).
Cardio day was walking 18 holes (5.8 miles and 1000 ft of elevation). #195by50



When you walk and play 18 holes of golf, you get a nice bit of exercise. Ditch the golf cart fam (unless you’re physically unable to play without it)! #195by50
Calorie goal: ✅
Protein goal: ✅

Workout: ✅
Dinner was pizza and I still hit my goals. A little bit of planning goes a long way.
Lifting through the soreness is a wild experience. The endorphin rush hits a bit different. #195by50
Weigh in Wednesday!
Losing water weight is fun! This is a fun number to share. It’s going to slow down dramatically here soon. But it sure is fun today!
Start: 259.9 9/24: 249.8

Cardio day…
Not as fun as lifting days…
Working toward a 30 minute 5K…
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


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.


A little afternoon snack!



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



Listen to the full message here: Lives Hidden With Chris - Reconciled
We live in a world that seems to thrive on having enemies. Everywhere we turn, someone is telling us who we should hate, who is coming for us, who we must fear. And what’s the expected response? Hate them back. Strike before they strike you. This is the way of the world.
But for those of us who follow Jesus, we are called to be in the world but not of it. We are called to look different—to respond differently.
