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?

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.



I keep getting subscribers on Substack. Perhaps I need to start cross publishing again? 🧐
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.
