As predicted, the weather was good, but still too cold for my daughter to be outdoors, so I settled for a solo walk around the neighborhood. Full disclosure: I’m feeling pretty run down, and I think I know why. I started this journey taking supplements, but I didn’t want to take them on my trip to Spokane and have not yet resumed taking them. I’ll fix that tomorrow. A Note About Keto I feel like I’m setting a bad example....
Today is day one of physical therapy to thaw my frozen shoulder. I’ve never had any sort of PT, so I’m still undecided as to whether or not I need professional guidance, or if this is a problem solved by repeatedly doing some exercises I can see demonstrated on YouTube. I also kept my promise and did a core workout this morning, plus a 2 mile walk (all before 1 p....
Today is February 1st and I’m feeling good about some things: I’m 10lbs down I’ve eat a ketogenic diet since 1/1 I’ve missed ONE day of exercising I have updated this blog daily So what’s next? The same thing, but more of it. I’m calling January “The Stretch”. It was the warm up before the exercise - me trying to get my body accustomed to movement again. I consumed roughly 1,200 calories today....
Today was test workout day. I had no idea what my limitations would be, but I wanted to figure that out before February 1st (tomorrow). I decided to split things up. It’s still cold out, but I wanted to do once around the loop (1 mile) before I tried the Fitness+ workout. After my walk, I had only a few minutes before Brook got off work so I thought I’d better do the 10 minute workout instead of the 20…what a joke....
One of my mentors (who also happens to be my brother) often reminds his students of Earl Nightingale’s definition of success: Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal or goal. With that definition in mind, today was a success. I did make progress. The scale finally showed that gravity’s grip on me had relaxed a bit, BUT…I ran into an issue. I knew it was cold, so I geared up before my walk: a sweater, work gloves, heavy coat, beanie over the ears…but with a wind chill of -32F, none of it mattered....
Brook. That’s who won. I would tell you how proud I am of her, how good she looks, and how she deserved that victory, but she wouldn’t want me to say any of that stuff, so I’ll just say… YOU GOT LUCKY WATSON! The victor’s dinner: Steak topped with crab and a (made from scratch) Béarnaise sauce, asparagus, and a cheesy cauliflower rice. February will be a different story. I’m currently working on my master plan to amp up my progress....
