Today’s workout, again went relatively well and was relatively easy, as it was the same as the last couple of weeks for Shoulders Day, consisting of mostly weight work, such as Push Presses, Military Seated Presses, Pullovers and Overhead Tricep Extensions! Lots of stretching and floor exercises to go with those too!
Afternoon workout was a warm up of Squats and Lunges, then a wonderful walk for 35 minutes. I chose to do a nature trail walk which slowed me down a little bit, but I feel I get an even better workout in when I do that sometimes. Nice change of atmosphere from always walking the paved path at the park! Only got in 1.4 miles when time started running out and I had to find a path back to the parking lot. Also had to watch out for the park maintenance people both picking up downed branches and putting in fresh arrows and markings in the parking lot! Overall a good little adventure today!
Afterwards I sat in the parking lot on a record heat day in North Carolina, made it to 85 degrees (hottest day on record for February). Made sure the A/C was running to keep cool, and got all of my other tasks completed, including my Mindfulness Routine (now a total of 25 minutes long), my Master Class video where we are going over details of the OODA loop (mentioned in a previous post), my bible studies, and a snack! Also got a TON of reading done, which was good because I realized I was just a little behind. Today I got completely caught up and am even a little ahead now. Still reading the novel 1984 by George Orwell. Very interesting book thus far, and very well written, quite compelling in some places, and I honestly didn’t want to put it down! It is quite the adventure too!
From there had a good conversation with my wife about Taming Life’s Chaos, our health goals and all the plans we have! Then had to run a few more errands and had a doctor’s appointment, which are Always An Adventure!
