Working Out

By Randy McNeely

Life sometimes throws us curve balls but we have to keep moving. For some reason I've plateaued right now. I've lost 26 pounds since last October, and I seem to be stuck. I'm hovering right at 239-240.

That said, I am by no means discouraged. I can't be if I am to succeed. Those thoughts got me out of bed this morning and I worked out hard doing push-ups, rows, flies, curls, and standing stretch exercises, as well as jogging for 30 seconds in between each exercise. I went through two full sets of each today, except for push-ups of which I did three sets.

I will meet my goals. I won't be easy, but nothing worth having ever is.

Made it up again. Keeping on. Did upper body workout - push ups, and several exercises with resistance bands, along with jogging for 30 seconds in between exercises.

I feel better every time I exercise.

Day 6

Wait a minute. What happened to Day 5. Well, the mattress won the battle yesterday. I didn't sleep well and when the alarm went off, I couldn't get up. I stayed up too late the night before. As you might imagine, that through off my whole schedule. Needless to say, my spiritual feasting was more like a spiritual fasting. Prime example of why "early to bed, early to rise" are wise words to live by. When I don't, the outcome is always the same.

I did better today. I got up and stretched. The went out to shovel four inches of snow off our longer than a football field (over 400 feet) driveway, followed by using a roof rake on the southern side of our roof. It was a good workout.

I should add, that on Thursday, in addition to the exercise I did in the morning, I also walked a mile at work.
