Always enjoy a good day full of God and church! I enjoy God every day, but sometimes when the Word is spoken well it just fills the heart and head with positive feelings that you just carry through the rest of the day. Today was one of those days.
I was able to get my weights workout in before church this morning, which was a Circuit Day filled with pull-ups, weighted sit-ups, glute leg lifts, dumbbell rows, horizontal pull-ups and hamstring hell (the official name of the exercise)! I’m getting pretty regular with getting my workout done in about an hour to an hour 10 most days now, instead of it taking me an hour and a half or more the last times I worked on this challenge. But those times I didn’t get very far either!
After church we were able to get our new overhead microwave installed in the kitchen, then straight back to the gym for me, thanks to some inclement weather. I don’t actually own a proper rain coat so I am unable to go out exercising in the rain and wet weather. One of the down sides to coming from a state that was full of desert, I guess. I was able to get my move on with my cardio however getting a full 3.1 miles in 60 minutes today which is a pretty good clip walking for me. Felt good!
I was having trouble with my book Start With Why and having time to read as much as I would like, so I switched books for now to The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis instead. I should be able to finish that book tonight so it will complete a book this week, which meets the requirements! I’ve really enjoyed The Great Divorce thus far and can’t wait to see how it ends! I’m going to keep going with Start With Why and see if I can’t finish it for next week’s book. I’m really interested in it, but it is definitely a slower read for me as it has a fair amount of technical/scientific method type writing in it.
To top it off this week, my Gratitude Journal was about getting stuff done. Thanks to my wonderful wife being on fire for to do lists this week, and just getting stuff done and helping others get stuff done, we have been able to knock a number of household projects off the list, get some of the car troubles fixed, and get some stuff cleaned up around the house too! I’m thankful for her dedication to it, and got the ability to get stuff off the list with the whole family! Lots of Checkmarks!
