Fyrescape II : Continuing On The Path To Excellence!

Walked about a mile and a half this morning. It was nice and it was cloudy, which was cool, but I was just too worried about my stomach to go on any further, so we just turned around and came home. Lisa has been very supportive and she's telling me to just take it easy for a while, which I'm definitely gonna do. I really don't want this discomforting feeling in my stomach to get any worse, especially with our San Diego trip coming up here in two weeks. We're heading up town here in a bit. Thought I'd write this blog early. I'll be pretty busy the rest of the day. I really hope I'm ok and I hope my stomach is not getting worse :'(

Did 3 miles this morning! I encountered a problem today. Last year, the thing that started this whole Fyrescape Journey, was a lump that I found in my stomach near my bellybutton. Anyway, I went to the hospital and the doc told me at first that it was a hernia. Well, she sent me to the surgeon a few weeks later. I saw him, and he told me just to not worry about it. He said he didn't think it was a hernia. He just said to not worry about it and that it should be ok, but that if it ever started to hurt, or whatever, to just come on back and they'd fix it up easily. He told me that because it wasn't painful or anything. Nothing to be alarmed about. Well, ever since Lisa's birthday, I've been getting more of those discomforting feelings in that area of my stomach. It's right in my bellybutton. I'm thinking it's an umbilical hernia. That's what I think it is. The doctors never officially examined it with any kind of instruments or ultrasounds or xrays...

Did 3 miles this morning! Came back and did my outside weights workout. My weight bar is breaking, so I only did half my workout. I did 4 sets of dead lifts, 2 sets of standing presses and one set of 100lb curls. That was all I did today. I stopped because my weight bar is bent after dropping it when I'm done with my standing presses. That sux! I'll need to get another one, or else try and straighten this one out. I was just afraid because I think it's getting ready to break. Don't want that happening while I'm doing my bench presses. Working on my gallon of water. Did not finish it today, but drank a good portion of it. No evening workout tonight! We were out the whole day.

Up early this morning and did my Bowflex workout. I did 2 sets of every exercise with 15 to 30 reps each. I followed that up with 2 sets on the Ab lounge, and then finished off with 22 minutes on the exercise bike. After that, we went out and did 3 miles! Lisa walked today. Got the walk done early because we planned to sell this morning. No evening workout today.

I did not get up too early this morning. We didn't go to bed until late last night. We watched World War Z. Oh man, that's a crazy movie! So I got up kinda late, meaning almost 8am, which is late for me. Luckily it was nice, cool and cloudy outside so that was very fortunate. We did our 3 miles! Lisa ran today, which I'm so proud of. I think this is her sixth day of running. I think, I'm not sure. Me, I walked a pretty good pace. We came home and I did my outside weights workout after we watered all the trees. I did 4 sets of dead lifts, 2 sets of standing presses, 2 sets of 100lb curls, and 3 sets of bench presses. The weights, I can honestly say, are getting much easier now. When I first started up after that long break, it was really tough. I think my body is getting it's strength back so that's Awesome! Finished my gallon of water today, YAY!!! I hope to keep this up, but who knows. Tomorrow we're gonna be selling, but I'm gonna try to finish ...

I so needed this day! Oh man I got to sleep in this morning. That was really nice! I'm very proud that I kept up a good pace with my workouts this past week. I'm really going to stick with it from now on and try and get it all done everyday, but if I don't for some reason, I'm not going to beat myself up over it. I'm just going to keep on going and do it the next day. We went to church today! First time being back at Ideal Baptist in months. It was so cool to be back in our Heavenly Father's house. I was happy to see our old Pastor Fleetwood. He was happy to see us. Everyone there was happy to see us again. We had a great time and the message was great! Looking forward to going back next Sunday. Pastor questioned us again after service about the old situation at our old church, which honestly we're (Lisa and I) getting sick of talking about. But I needed him to know the truth. He is under the impression that we're still going to that church and that w...

Up early this morning and did my outside weights workout first! I wanted to get that over with because we planned to go selling so we'd have some money for tonight's concert. Did 4 sets of dead lifts, 2 sets of standing presses, 2 sets of 100lb curls, and 3 sets of bench presses. I felt really worn out after because I did it as quick as possible. Soon as I was done, Lisa and I headed out and did our 3 miles! Lisa ran again, and I walked it at a great pace. We went selling after we got back. It took us a while to get out there because Lisa's mom had us on the runaround. We did pretty good, though and made a good amount of cash. This evening we went to the Michael W. Smith concert that was held at the Civic Center. Oh man, that was a really Awesome concert. For those who don't know, Michael W. Smith is a Christian singer and is known all around the world. His music is Amazing and very popular. He even has songs that are played on the regular radio stations. I bought...
