Off To The Races

Yesterday I began my regiment… kind of. Before I go any farther though I want to make it clear that I am not using Herbal Magic. We simply went in for an assessment and they were gracious enough to do that for us. The next six months will be nothing but changing my diet and adding more activity to my days.

Like I said, I will be adding some more activity to my day. So yesterday I hit the gym. I ran a total of 2.9km and walked another 2.6km. I was feeling pretty good about myself. But that was just the warm up folks! Last evening we played ball hockey at the gym (everyone is invited, Monday’s from 7-9 at Moncton First Nazarene) for two hours and I worked up quite a sweat! You know it’s a good work out when you can hear your heart beat in your ears, your chest burn and you start hacking up something that has been sitting in your lungs for years. So yeah, I’m a little sore but all in all I feel great.

So here is where I fell short. My Mom and Dad came to visit on Saturday and it was great. The problem was is that Mom had baked me a bunch of chocolate chip cookies and trust me, my mother knows how to bake!! So I was left with a predicament. Do I not eat them and risk offending my mother or do I eat them all as fast as I can so I can get them out of the way, yet still enjoy them.

The cookies are gone. They were good.

I will close with a plea. Please encourage Greg. We had a potluck at church on Sunday and he had two heaping plates of food and he was also absent from all of yesterday’s activities. We’re all pulling for ya buddy.

Much Love,
Matt
