About My Journey

Some things to know about me and my journey. I broke my foot, OUCH, spent 6 weeks in a cast. As a result of that injury figured out that I hade an exploded disk in my neck and had to undergo spine surgery. After the surgery it was weight gain time. Now, after all that it's time to get back into shape, LET THE JOURNEY BEGIN!!

bla..bla...bla

 Well it's Monday again, and all that means is here we go again.  Had a good weekend with some much needed rest.  I am, however, curious on why I am always so tired during the day.  It would seem that from about 1:PM on I am absolutely exhausted and by 9:PM I'm done!
Friday night was awesome.  The wife & I got to take my boy to the fair to see Newsboys.  That group put on one heck of a show for $10.00 / Person & Best of all my boy LOVED IT!
Other than that, slept in really late on Sat & Slept in a little on Sunday. 
Hope everyone had a great week!  Just remember, If you can run be thankful, hahaha, only 21 more days!

HAPPY THURSDAY !!



Today was kind of an adhoc day.  Had some friends who said they would be at the pool early today so I figured I would show up and work out with them……humph, go figure I was the only one to show…..Oh well.  Had a GREAT workout anyhow.  Then lunch time rolled around and had a GREAT Strength chest workout.  All in all today is shaping up to be a great day.  Maybe later on tonight I can fit in a “Cage Fitness” workout tonight at Black Belt Leadership Academy!!
