Fyrescape II : Continuing On The Path To Excellence!

Did 3 miles this morning! Came home and did my morning Bowflex workout. First one in a while and it felt Awesome!! I did two to three sets of each exercise. I even added some DDP yoga moves in between some of my sets, that really helped me. Afterwards, I did two sets on the Ab lounge, and finally finishing off my morning workout with 22 minutes on the exercise bike! Finished my gallon of water today and actually drank more. It's been so hot outside so I've really downed a lot of water. My body feels great! Didn't get to do my DDP yoga this evening because I was busy. I'm thinking of taking a short break from my morning exercises. I'm still going to do my 3 miles daily, but the others I'm thinking of holding off on for a bit. Let my body relax. When I do these workouts, they're awesome and they make me feel great. I sweat like crazy, especially during DDP yoga. But I can really feel my body getting tired from it all. I think it's good to let your bo...

Did my 3 miles this morning! Came back and did my outside weights workout. I did not do many sets today. Only 2 sets of dead lifts and one set of standing presses and 100lb curls. I did do two sets of bench presses though, but that was it. Ok...so apparently gay marriage is legal now.... Well I'm going to voice my opinion on that. I DO NOT SUPPORT IT!!!! I never will. I follow God's word and His word says that it is wrong! I really feel that the supreme court messed up by doing this. Not because it's bad, but because it's going to cause lots of turmoil between the ppl of America. You can't make someone support something and you can't make someone go against their religion. You just can't. By passing this law, it's going to cause so much chaos within the country. I'm not for that. Let me make myself very clear. NO I do not support gay marriage. I never will! HOWEVER, I DO NOT HATE GAY PPL. I don't!! I will never hate anyone, no matter what th...

Did 3 miles this morning! The day was pretty mellow. Did not do too much. So hot out there, oh man!! Tonight was Slammiversary!!!! TNA's annual pay per view that marks the day the company was started back in 2002. Grandpa bought it so I went down there and watched it. Oh man, it was so good! I can't wait to see what happens in the future. I really love TNA. It's an Awesome show and they have some of the Best and Most talented ppl in the world working there. I really hope they go far and get as big as the wwe one day. They just need the right push and they'll do wonders, I truly believe that! The exciting thing about this whole TNA thing is now Jeff Jarrett is back. Now I never really cared for that guy. He started TNA with his dad back in 2002. He did not, however, make TNA what it is today. Under his leadership, TNA almost tanked after a year. They were about to go bankrupt, but then this woman named Dixie Carter came along. She began to work with TNA and saw so...

Did 3 miles this morning! Both Lisa and I were completely burnt out because we got a late start this morning. We did our walk in hardcore heat. It was so hot out there. My head was pounding! When we got back, we brought the dogs home, then finished out our walk and went over to my mom's again to feed their animals. We were there for quite a while because my mom asked to have their trees watered. We did not finally get home until after 12:30pm. When we did get back, we had to give the dogs fresh water, then water our trees. By the time we were finally done, we were so tired and just did not want to do anything else. Lisa had to go to work and I just did computer work the rest of the day. I wanted to do DDP yoga this evening, but I was just too busy to get it in. Right now my head is acting up again so I'm gonna lay down for a bit.

Did 3 miles this morning! Finished my gallon of water today. Wanted to do my Bowflex workout today, but my feet were really hurting. When we got back from our walk, I laid down and rested my feet. They felt so stiff and tired. I ended up going to sleep for a bit because I was just wiped out from waking up a bit too early. The last two nights, I been falling asleep sitting up on my couch in the living room. That is not too comfortable for me because I wake up early the next morning with my ass bone really hurting. Instead of going back to bed, for fear of not waking up until way later, I stay awake. That tiredness really hits me early in the day, like today! Anyway, this evening I did my DDP yoga workout. I did ENERGY today and it was Awesome! I followed it up with my crunches, then my cross leg lifts, then my elevated leg swings, then I did my pushups, and finally finished it off with my dumbbell workout. I did the evening workout kinda late, but I got it all done. I feel really...

No exercise today because I had way too much going on. Hauled off trash for grandpa this morning. That took us most the day. Soon as we got back, Lisa had to go to work. I sat around for about an hour, then I spent the later afternoon and all evening cleaning up my yard. I was outside until 10:30, which was not too long ago. My feet are so tired. Since we hauled off the trash this morning, I really wanted to get my front yard cleaned up, so I did. Really I didn't realize that I spent the whole day out there. Surprised me. Right now I feel so overheated and sweaty, I'm going to take a late shower and just relax until Lisa gets home from work. Definitely been a very long day! I am so tired...

Woke up early and did 3 miles! Today was a bit different, we didn't walk on the usual route. We ran into this dude walking his dogs so I couldn't take Cody and Cooper down there as he walked down the same way we were going. So instead we did our walk up top on the track. It was cool though because we finished out the whole thing. Great walk today! Came home and I did my outside weights workout. Did 4 sets of dead lifts, 2 sets of standing presses, 2 sets of 100lb curls, and 3 sets of bench presses. Feels great to have gotten that done today. My left knee is feelin kinda funky. I remember it feeling this way before we went out to Capote Lake. I'll have to be careful on it. Finished more than a gallon of water today! We visited Buffalo Wild Wings again today for the second time ;} Felt like treating ourselves out for once, so we ate over there. Food was so good. Lisa couldn't handle it...again, same as last time. We haven't been there since her birthday last...

Did 3 miles this morning! Great walk, but we got a little bit of a late start so it got really hot out there today. Lisa is doing great, she's the one who dragged us out there today. I woke up way too early this morning and started to clean my room up, then got carried away with things. I planned to go back to sleep for a bit, but didn't. When I finally laid down to rest, Lisa came into my room and woke me up to go do our 3 miles. So proud of her!! Did some work on my grandma's A/C last night. She's finally turning on her Air Conditioner after all this time. This afternoon I finished it off and it's workin pretty good. I was busy this evening so I didn't get my workouts in.

Woke up early this morning and did 3 miles! Back to the grind after an Awesome camping trip in Colorado. Came back and did DDP yoga instead of outside weights or bowflex. Drank a gallon of water today! We were busy the rest of the day so I did not get anymore exercise in. The camping trip was Awesome! My whole family went out there. Everyone had fun. The only problem was that it was just too hot out there! We're talking 105 degrees. I got cooked out there and sunburnt. It was also very dry and there was so much dust. Everyone, including me, just flared up in allergies. It was awful. The fishing was great. We all mostly caught catfish though. Oh man there were so many ppl out there this past weekend. Next year, if I plan this with the family again, I'm definitely not doing it on a Father's Day weekend. That is/was crazy!! On Saturday afternoon, Lisa and I went to the casino in Ignacio, CO. That was really neat. I won about $47 which was cool because I won back the mone...

BE BACK ON MONDAY -FYRE HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!! Wishin my dad and my grandpa a very Awesome day! Also, giving my Heavenly Father all the praise in the world as not only this day, but everyday should be dedicated to Him. Thank you so much Father for blessing us with all that you do, even though we don't deserve it. This day, as everyday, is Yours!

BE BACK ON MONDAY -FYRE

BE BACK ON MONDAY -FYRE

Woke up this morning and did DDP yoga! We're gonna be kinda busy this morning so I couldn't get my walk in. Tomorrow is when we're heading to Capote Lake in Colorado. I'm so excited!! Can't wait to get out of here. Lots to do today so I'm writing this blog early. Packing and getting the truck ready. Hopefully it all goes smoothly ;}

DID 6 MILES TODAY!!! Oh man, that was Awesome! I haven't done 6 miles since October of last year. I woke up early this morning and did my entire walk, then when I came back, Lees was heading out for her walk so I turned right around and followed her out and did my second walk, completing my 6 miles. It felt Awesome and I did it nonstop. Before, I used to do 3 miles, then take about 15 to 20 minutes to rest my feet and legs, then I'd do the second 3 miles. Today, however, I did the whole thing one immediately after the other, so that made me feel Awesome!! My feet were pretty tired the rest of the day so I skipped out on my other workouts. Drank lots of water though. Feels great to have gotten all that work in this morning ;} Counting down the days till this Friday!!

Did 3 miles this morning! Got in my outside weights workout and finished my gallon of water today. This evening I did my DDP yoga workout. Feeling great and energized. I'm gonna try to get in as much workouts as I can during this week since I'll be pretty much taking 3 rest days starting Friday when we go to Capote Lake. That's great though. I'm just glad to be getting away for a few days. Definitely need it right now!

Started off the day with 3 miles! Lisa and I had a talk this morning about our exercising. I told her that waiting for her and trying to do all of everything together is not really working out for me. I feel like I'm getting weak willed and that I'm not pushing myself as I was last year, so we decided that from now on, I'm going to workout at my own pace and Lisa will workout at her own pace. This way, we both get a great workout in and we don't have to try and do everything at the same time. I really think this will help me a lot because these last two weeks I really felt like I've been slacking off pretty bad. I don't want that, I want to get back to pushing myself in my workouts everyday with only one rest day per week! Came home and I did my bowflex workout. First time in over a week. I did 2 sets of every exercise with between 20 and 30 reps for each one. I got a really severe stomach cramp after I did my ab exercise on the Bowflex. Oh man, I did forty r...

This morning we had to do laundry. I'm so glad we did because the camping trip this coming weekend, I really needed to wash my clothes. My laundry really piled up, so we did that this morning. We had a few bucks afterwards, so we hit the SunRay casino and tried to turn it into something big so we'd have money this week...but sadly :( no luck! Came home empty handed. The rest of the day was pretty mellow. It was hot, but we got it with some heavy rain this afternoon. I finished out my day with two DDP yoga workouts. I did ENERGY and THE DIAMOND DOZEN. I wanted to refresh myself on the moves. My body felt great! I feel so crappy that I haven't kept up with my workouts this past week. Oh man, I'm so pissed at myself. I've just been so freakin busy with the car, getting our bills paid, planning the San Diego trip and getting ready for the camping trip this coming weekend. It's just been crazy! On top of that, I've been so tired because I keep falling asleep ...

Woke up and did 3 miles this morning! I had planned on doing more workouts today, but did not. Luckily we got gas in my truck, which is a relief. I also got a $20 loan from my grandpa so we could do our laundry tomorrow. I'm gonna pay him back this Friday out at Capote Lake. I so can't wait for that camping trip! I really need to get out of here and just clear my head from all he craziness. I need to just relax and fish and just enjoy nature for a few days. Just six more days :D I need to get back to DDP yoga. I just been so tried and lost in my thoughts lately to really concentrate.

Did 3 miles this morning! I am happy I've been keeping up with my walks. I haven't done Bowflex in over a week, but at least I'm still walking, so that's good! JURASSIC WORLD was today! We had our tickets already and we raced up to the theater after our morning walk. It was an Awesome movie!! It was way more than I expected. I was very satisfied with it. During that line that Chris Pratt said, "I was in the Navy, not the Navajo!" hahaha Oh man, that theater erupted with laughs and screams. We're mostly Navajo (Native Americans) here in this part of the state so everyone got a kick out of that. So cool! But yeah that movie was Awesome! I loved how they did that last scene in the movie. I really would not mind seeing that again!! The rest of the day sucked! When I took Lisa to work after buying her some lunch, I realized that our money was almost gone. I mean, how the hell did that happen?!! Just a few days ago I had over $300 in my pocket, now it's...

No walk this morning! Instead, we headed over to NTUA to get the utility bill paid and to get Lisa's name on the bill so we can use that for the rental car that we're getting in August. Her name has to be on the bill and it has to be a zero past due balance, so with my casino wins, that's what I'm doing haha. So glad we got it done! We headed out there this morning and it rained like crazy. But, we got it done and came home. Honestly, I was glad I didn't do the weights or Bowflex this morning anyway. Yesterday and the day before really kicked my butt. Two full days of weights and with more reps, oh man I was glad for the break! It rained really hard. I almost took Lisa to work again, but it stopped long enough for her to take off. We have this road that constantly floods out and that's the main road that goes into town. I swear, they really need to make a bridge or something over that area so ppl won't have to deal with the hassle anymore. Well tomorro...

A VERY AWESOME DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! Started off the day with 3 miles! Came home and did my outside weights workout. 2 days in a row now :D I did 4 sets of dead lifts. 2 sets of standing presses. 2 sets of 100lb curls. 3 sets of bench presses and I did a few DDP yoga moves. It was really nice out! It was cloudy and getting ready to rain. I love days like this. Afterwards, we left to go up town and get our Jurassic World tickets. 3rd times a charm, finally got them. I swear, that crazy theater gave me the runaround for the last few times. Anyway, so we got the tickets out of the way. Before that, we did something I did not want to do, but we had no choice because we were low on cash. We renewed that loan that we paid off a month ago. We didn't renew it for much, though, only $150. Anyway, with that money we got the tickets. After that, we went out to SunRay Casino. Lisa and I haven't been to the casino in over 5 years. Since we didn't win anything yesterday at Northern Edg...

Did 3 miles this morning! Came back and did my outside weights workout. Did 4 sets of dead lifts, 2 sets of standing presses, 2 sets of 100lb curls, and 3 sets of bench presses. My body feels great! Felt good to do that today. We went up town afterwards and tried to get tickets for Jurassic World this Friday...again. Last time I went there, they told me Monday, but just to be sure I waited till Tuesday and guess what, once again they told me they weren't selling them. Dammit, I was pissed because we wasted a lot of gas to drive up to the damn theater. They told me Wednesday :( So tomorrow, I gotta go all the way back and watch them tell me "oh not till Thursday" oh man I'm gonna be pissed if they do! That was my day! I didn't do my DDP yoga workout or floor and dumbbell workouts tonight. I really need to get back to doing that. But I've been drinking water still. I haven't finished my gallon, but I come close to it. Another thing I need to get back t...

Got up early and did my 3 miles! Lisa came with me, she ran a mile after we were done with the walk. I wanted to do an outside weights workout this morning, but we instead tried introducing the kittens and their mom to the outside. They've been inside since they were born. I had been planning to do this for the last two weeks. Today, I wanted to just do it. Well, it went really bad. My stupid cat, Sebastian, just tried attacking the mom and the kittens. Oh man, I was so pissed off at him. I don't know what to do. Lisa and I sat out there with them for about an hour, just watching them and trying to get them used to it, but it was no good. We ended up having to put the mom back inside, then eventually the kittens. I have no idea what I'm going to do now. Totally out of ideas. We got a camping trip planned for next weekend on the 19th and I'm going to have to leave the cats inside now, but dammit, I don't know. Well I called the rental car place today and booked ...

Woke up this morning and did about 2 miles! Lisa was feeling a bit better, plus I wanted to take the dogs out. We didn't do the whole walk, I just wanted a good warm up. Came home and I did a minor weights workout outside. I only did one set of every exercise. This evening I did DDP yoga, and that was an Awesome workout! I didn't do any floor exercises today. I planned on it, but my grandma started calling me to come over and pick up the cats food, which she gives me every evening. She likes to feed my cats so I have to go over to her house and get the food, ugh honestly I hate doing that. Every night I have to do that and she always calls me right when I'm busy or when I'm working out, or when I'm gone, then she'll get mad if I don't answer my phone, or whatever. It's just a big hassle, but I deal with it. Great warm up today though. I wanted to slowly easy my body back into it, being as how I haven't really been pushing myself the last few ...

Today was not supposed to be a rest day, but Lisa was feeling really bad. Her stomach has been giving her problems, so she needed to rest it up. As for me, I decided to take one today also. I did not need it, but I figured that tomorrow I'm going to start up my daily routines again. Plus, it was still raining today. The roads were really muddy. Can't go walking or running in this kinda weather. This morning we went up and got groceries. Our money situation is pretty tight right now. Today our phones were paid off finally :D We got these new phones back in 2013 and we've been paying monthly installment payments every month since then. Today, we finally paid them off!!! Oh man, I was super happy about that. We've really been coming along since paying off those big bills. Yesterday I got our other stuff out of the way such as the car registration and Lisa's concert tickets. We've also got Jurassic World coming out this coming Friday so I've got money saved up...

Seems every Friday for the last two weeks now has been Really Busy Days! Not good. I had so much planned today so I couldn't fit any exercise in, plus it was raining pretty hard outside this morning. Oh man I was rushing around. I wanted to go to the MVD and get my car registered, which I finally was able to do, but dang was it a chore. I had to get up early, wake Lisa up, get ready, then we had to race to town. I stopped at this printing place because I needed to print out my insurance papers and because our printer is totally out of black ink, I either needed to get ink for the printer or print it out somewhere and be at the MVD by 8am, which was impossible! Turns out, every place don't open until 8am, which sucked. So, I had to go to Walmart, race in there and buy some black ink, then we raced home asap and print out my papers, then I had to haul ass back into town and get to the MVD which we didn't arrive there until 8:30 :O Oh man so we ended up waiting, but good t...

Up early this morning and did 3 miles! Nice walk. The dogs were really happy to finally get out there. I feel so bad when we can't or don't walk because my dogs really look forward to it every morning. That's their time to really get out and run around freely. I did not get any morning workouts in because since I won that money last night, I wanted to take Lisa to a movie before she had to go to work. So, after watering the trees, we got ready and then went up to watch, Pitch Perfect 2. That was really good. I enjoyed it and oh man, Anna Kendrick is so pretty, I could just stare at the woman for hours and never want to blink ;) I really thought the end song they picked to sing..was shit! I mean, it was a really crappy song! They should've picked a song by a rock group, something powerful and really get out there and bring it!! But...they didn't. sucked!! I thought they should've sang that song by Van Halen called, DREAMS. Oh man, that would've been Awesome...

Woke up early with the full intention of doing my 3 miles and getting in a full days' workout...but nope that didn't happen. Instead, Lisa's mom decided to come over. She had mentioned a few days back that she wanted to help us clean up our yard, get rid of the million weeds that popped up everywhere. So, that's what she wanted to do today. I almost didn't want to, because I wanted to get in my workouts...but after looking at my yard and after doing a bit last night, I wanted to get a good start on it so I can finish it out and make the place lookin great before July. She came over and we did that all morning. BIG SURPRISE, she gave me the title to the car today :D Lisa and I really thought she wasn't going to give it to me until I paid her on July 3rd. But, she came thru today and gave me the title. After we finished with weeds, I filled out the title and she signed it. It's all ready to go now. All I gotta do is take it to the MVD and transfer it over to...

Well, today I felt so much better after sleeping off all my anger, and waking up in a cool room! Being as how last night I almost DIED because of this heat...oh man, I blew off all my morning exercising to work on my Air Conditioner. We woke up this morning, got ready and cruised into town to get parts. I bought us some lunch at Taco Bell. I had a Diet Pepsi and a Catina Burrito. Oh man, those things are so good. Then, we came home and I worked on the A/C the rest of the morning. I got that thing all cleaned out really good and hooked up. Then we turned it on and OH MAN, nice and cool :D I was so happy!! By the time Lisa went to work, the place was really cool! I felt so good in this cool house that this evening I did a full workout. I did my DDP yoga, which felt Amazing!! I also did my crunches, cross leg lifts, elevated leg swings, pushups, and my dumbbell workout. I also added a few more exercises to my dumbbell workout and added some squats and balancing to my floor workout. So ...

Up pretty early this morning and did my 3 miles! Lisa ran this morning, so that was really good. When we got back, I did my outside weights workout. I did 4 sets of dead lifts and did my new 2 sets of standing presses, followed by 2 sets of 100lb curls, and then finished it off with my 3 sets of bench presses. I feel Awesome!! My body was feelin really great afterwards! Finished my gallon of water today! My brother called me and invited me over for his birthday party. Spoiled brat, they take him to Albuquerque over the weekend, and now when he gets back, he gets a party! So I went over there. I was glad to get out because it's so hot inside, my head has been pounding all afternoon. I'm so sick of this heat :( My sister was there....ugh that made me so mad. I'm not gonna lie, when I found out that she went BACK TO THAT BULLSHIT THAT WE GOT HER OUT OF FOR THE FIFTH FUCKING TIME, yeah I was really pissed off. I can't believe she went right back into it all. After ...
