May 15 to 23

 There has been a fair amount of work being done - except when I 'm left alone in a messy house. Meh, we will work on that next. 

Interesting workouts this week were at the nearest provincial park as hikes. Yeah, that's been a real cool part. Swims continue, and work got in the way of a couple of workouts, too. 

Still some progress is being made on the Adventure Van, and now I need to make some phone calls and set things up for the summer. I got a look at my summer today and it looks frantic. I will have to be a very good boy and focus on about two things this summer and that is about it. 

Stretching in the mornings and after hikes, too. Lots of water, need to focus on just getting the work done these days. It's getting done, just slowly.

This week coming up is going to be like the rest - just shorter thanks to the holiday Monday. It is all good, no side hustle this week. Progress on my fitness can step up instead.

May 11 to 14



 Got in for two swims this week - just laps and laps and trying to get the legs working.

Got my rings closed every day this week - walking more at work and making sure I get a hike in on Saturday morning before the rest of the work gets up. Nearly missed my window this week.

Water was nice and calm - made sure my kayak and paddle board are ready to go yesterday, too. I'm going to go up and put them away the work out in a minute. It's been a lazy Sunday so far.

Rugby pictures from my friends continue - but I'm working on me at this time. Plus, I wouldn't want to disappoint some of the exec - they might arrest me in front of everyone.

Little snide private joke there, sorry. No, Im' not going to explain it.

Anyway, reading continues, side hustle continues, my son absolutely drowning my backyard also continues. Could it be worse? Oh, yes it could. Not going to complain, as I know the results.

May 2 to 10



Things move forward and then move back.

Workouts continued this week - in the garage and walks. The walk on Saturday morning was short, as my hip was acting up. It was horrible, but I got my steps done and then went for coffee.

I'm working on fitness goals for the summer and things I want to be able to do for the end of August. 

I'm reading a lot these days - I'll blog them as soon as I can. 

But lots of walking at work, lots of walking after work and lots of just being active when I can.

Feeling low, but I'm thinking that is just part of the season. My family is a part of the sadness - I got a text from a health care professional that read something along the lines that I have a failing heart and I shouldn't leave my wife and kids without me. 

I'm not kidding, it is the way things are these days.

April 25 to May 1

The step, the bell

 Things continue to work forward. At least the weather is warming up. 

Work took the front seat this week and I had to skip a few workouts in order to stay on the good side of my supervisors and various bosses. I don't think that will be necessary to do again for a while.

Workouts were swimming with my son and training sessions in the garage.


Each of these for two minutes, total of four rounds:

Elliptical trainer 

KB swings and presses, H2H, just moving the bell

steps on a 30 cm step 

band curls 


Like the character from Bojack Horseman said: "It gets easier, but you have to do it every day."
