March 28th, 2013
Chalice and bread
Holy Week is here. Today is Maundy Thursday commemorating Jesus Christ's Last Supper and the initiation of the Holy Communion (the Eucharist). We watched an episode of The Bible last night as a family. I find myself talking to God quite a bit these days. I have much to be thankful for in my life. I pray that we all find peace this week and onward.


Another week of hard core training and Paleo eating has produced more good results for me. I am now down to 213 lbs. That is 13.5 lbs lost in just under 4 weeks. I am happy that I can now see what my abs looks like for the first time since I was in my 20s. The diet and exercise is producing the results I have, no doubt about that. I swim 2 to 3 times per week at the YMCA. I go to Crossfit twice per week. I hit the gym by my work 3 times per week as well. My goal is to get down to a size 32 waist (I am at 35 right now, as my 36 pants are loose). I figure my weight should be around 185 or so, that is a few months of hard work away. I am not really using the scale as my metric, as I am weight lifting and gaining muscle mass. I hope to look like the guy in the picture above someday soon.


Just 15 days until the Hammer Race. Zach and I have our hammers ready. Mine is an 8 lb sledge hammer and Zach's is a 2 lb sledge hammer. He wanted one like mine, but more his size. Running with a hammer is going to be a challenge. It is going to be fun running alongside my son. I will be running with my Team RWB shirt on to raise awareness for our returning Veterans. If you are interested in supporting a good cause, please visit my site by clicking on the Team RWB logo below:

Until next time, stop and give someone a hug and ask them how they are doing. Smile often, be nice, and help a stranger. Make a goal to introduce yourself to someone new. Right a thank you note by hand for someone at work, at home, or elsewhere, you don't know how much of an impact this simple gesture can do. Lastly, take time to be with your family, as these are all goals I have on my list to focus on.

God's Peace!
