What blogging has done for me....

Well, today I crossed the threshold of 62 blog posts and as that may not seem like much to those veteran bloggers... it is to me! The last blog that I started had a total of one post and now my second attempt at forcing my options and daily activities into the brains of internet users worldwide has made it!!! I have turned "Fights will go on as long as they have to" into a legitimate blog. I would like to thank Drew and Jenny Cavin for teaching me that it is OK to sit at your laptop for longer than 2 hours, and Joe Pebbles for making random comments on weird posts, and Jordan Coulter for giving me something to write about everyday, and Sam Cavin for always slamming his hands on my keyboard trying to help me get to 62 posts, and finally Al Gore for creating the internet! I hope to continue this online journal and maybe one day my grand children will make fun of me as they fly past on there "hover boards" and drink Pepsi!!

Oh.. I almost forgot.. thank you Robots!

Fasting-Day One

Last night in the car with JoJo we talked about what it was to fast. We talked about the spiritual aspects and the health aspects and the communal aspects... we talked about when we use to fast at "The Treehouse" and what it did to us as a couple. Fasting brought us together with one focus. We prayed, talked, complained and then ate together. I read a book called,"The Spirit of the Disciplines" by Dallas Willard and learned about the deepness and freedom that comes from fasting.

Last night after Jordan and I ate dinner I started my fast. I will continue the fast until Wednesday night. I will break the fast with Jordan and comm group. It will be a total of 48 hours where I will only drink water and some juices such as beets, carrots, apples, and tomatoes. The juices are for the health benefits that come from a fast.

WOD:
Run 1 mile (5:28)
Two minutes of each:
Row (Concept 2 Rower at level 7) (29)
30 pound Dumbbell thrusters (31)

My total was 136 and my mile was 5:28
