Trying To live Healthy: Gray Chest Hair; Anniversary; Ab Work; The Guns!
What’s up people? Day 24! New hair cut, shaved, looking nice.
Ooof! Gray hair on the chest. That’s concerning.
Day 24 and both workouts are in the book. It’s roughly 9am.
Today I got a full day of stuff! We’re doing three days worth of 26th anniversary celebration.
So I want to get everything in the morning done…or my two workouts done in the morning, so I did one around 5am and then started this one around 8am(ish).
So yeah, both workouts are done (inside workout and outside workout).
I did an inside workout for the first workout this morning… I didn’t walk outside that early because I didn’t want to get run over by car.
So I just did some ab work inside for the first workout….lower body.
Came outside for the second workout and did all strength upper body…you know…work on “the guns”.
I have half of my water intake done… it’s only 9am y’all!. I got 10 pages of my book read. It’s a great book, Tending The Fire, go check it out. It’s amazing!
quiet time with God is good…really good! Hope y’all’s is too!
It’s gonna be a good day.
I will see y’all tomorrow. God bless!

Social Media Sabbatical
Times are getting crazy y’all! If you don’t believe me, scroll through your favorite social media platform OR open your favorite news app/website. The world is becoming more divided, confused, and hostile, and on top of all that, the lack of value in human life is growing exponentially! And the sad part is, as the world plunges farther down the immoral and unethical rabbit hole…it’s sucking tons of good men and women down with it.
Social media, for many is becoming a huge time suck (talking to myself here too y’all), and it’s drawing a lot of us away from the person God needs us to be and closer to the person Satan wants us to be. I can’t tell you how many times over the past few months that I’ve: A) found myself in a state of anger because of something I read or saw; B) come to a realization that I’ve been scrolling aimlessly for hours; or C) been slammed by ads and posts that not only don’t relate to me, but push an agenda I have no interest in!
In an effort to focus less on the distractions of the world and spend more time focusing on God’s plan for me and my family, I have decided to take a much needed sabbatical from social media and news platforms. I’ve got roughly 7 weeks left on the #75hard program…which I’m using to (with God’s help) reset my mental and physical self (return to who I was when God was center of my universe…not worldly ambitions). I’m going to use these 7 weeks to unplug from all social media and news sites.
I will still make my (or try to make my) daily updates on how 75 Hard is going…but it will be uploads only…no interaction with the platforms. I’ve already removed my apps from my phone, and I’ve turned off notifications…so no distractions to be had! The main reason for not totally unplugging is Y’ALL. I’ve had many of you say that my daily updates are an inspiration to you…so, with encouragement from my wife, I’ve chosen to continue to upload my updates. In all honesty, y’all are encouraging me more than I’m inspiring y’all!
6/6/2022 I can’t wait to see what God does over the next 7 weeks. Then I’ll hop back (not sure for how long) onto the Facebooks, Instagrams, and Twitters to see what God is doing in y’all’s lives and catch up once my sabbatical is complete. Until then, feel free to touch base here on this blog as we talk God, family, and fitness. At the end of the day, I realize that I can’t produce the energy to complete the 75 Hard Program…but God can! AND…y’all’s encouragement greatly helps!
Blessings,

Day 22 Weigh In…
Lifestyle changes going well! Loving the mindset shift. Courtney is liking the diet changes. We’ve been talking about going away from processed foods and eating natural, grass fed beef, chicken, and pork…no better time than the present!
We’ve started testing different local rancher’s products at various farmers markets. Here in Williamson County, there are quite a few different farmers markets throughout the country and throughout the week…so we’re getting to test quite a few.
This week’s results:

Today’s Farmers Market Haul…
As I start the mind shift from unhealthy eating to healthy eating, one thing I know for a fact… all natural, locally grown vegetables and fruit. So, today, Courtney (the wifey…boss) and I ventured out to a local Produce Stand here in the area (Eli’s Produce). An awesome roadside produce stand not unlike the one my uncle used to have in the 70’s & 80’s. Yummy delicious fruits and veggies came from there…and awesomely tasty foods come from Eli’s. We’ll definitely be stopping in here more often!
Courtney and I have decided it’s time to walk away from the processed food and start sourcing our vegetables, fruits, meats, and eggs from local farmers. I grew up on a farm/ranch, and it’s time to return to the goodness that is all natural foods. All natural…the way God intended. Notice there are no fast food joints in the Bible. The disciples didn’t sit around drinking sodas. Jesus didn’t break candy bars during times of fellowship and prayer. Just everyday, all natural, organic, fresh, good food!
Today’s produce haul: yellow squash, cucumbers, green beans, small potatoes, purple onions, tomatoes and corn on the cob. #Yummy for my tummy.
Yummy yellow squash, cucumbers, green beans, small potatoes, purple onions, tomatoes and corn on the cob! Delicious! Those too lazy to plow in the right season will have no food at the harvest. – Proverbs 20:4
