Discoveries:
This week I
discovered fitness rocks! I have always been athletic but I see now that being
fit is completely different. For almost four months I watched Mrs. Williams
chop veggies, mix protein powder, wake up when Jesus does and cultivate her
muscles into something rivaling a female Adonis. How could I sit by idly and
continue to each Sugar Smacks, drink quarter waters and T-Bones? Trust me,
there’s nothing wrong with a good mal but anything in excess is bad for you. I
decided to take a few steps, real ones. With the help of a nutritionist and a Pilate’s
instructor I have some pretty attainable health targets. There’s nothing too major,
achieve an eight minute mile, lose 15lbs of fat, exercise for at least 60mins
per day, you know,,,,the fitness basics. This expedition will be fun and should
help me live a better quality of life.
High Points:
This week I
reflected on my decision to add a new addition into the family. Before you get
your knickers in a knot, no, my wife and I did not decide to have another
child. We have way too many human beings walking around the house at this time.
Instead we decided to open up our home to a baby kitten. My teenage son Tre’
informed me that one of his teachers’ cats had a litter and unfortunately not
all of the kittens found a home. In fact, there were a few supposed runts of
the litter that no one wanted. “Really,” I said. He asked me if we could take
one of the kittens home I said yes. She is so awesome. Perfect for our hectic,
hurried household. I let my youngest son name her. Which name did he choose?
Cutie…..What a perfect selection!

Low Points:
WORD OF CHOICE - - - - - Magazines
We all love great reading but geez Louise, it
seems like the price of a good magazine is rising and rising. I remember People
magazine being a little more than a buck per issue. Hell, even the newspaper
had good reading. Now, even the subscriptions cost an arm and a leg. It’s
almost like you have to choose between one or the other. Why can’t my house
look like the doctor’s office? There are like a zillion magazines on the table all
begging me to check them out. Just ranting…..
DAILY INSANITY:
Two Words: Boxing Equipment
I’m done being Rocky. I remember piecing together the perfect combination of boxing equipment a few years ago. I mixed together Everlast pieces: a heavy bag, a couple of sets of gloves, a speed bag and some ankle weights. The goal was to increase a particular set of skills. Skills that make life for would be robbers, vagrants and people who choose me a living hell. I have acquired those skills. Now the set is on Craigslist for a steal……
