Back in the Black

I am calling today's post "Back in the Black" because today I am grounding myself in the basic things I have tried to set as goals for myself.  Dieting, Fitness, Learning and Discipline.

I am using my skills from the MOVE program at the VA Med center to track my calorie intake and the tools they gave me to make the progress I desire to make.

Pin Pin and I went for a morning walk along McCray Rd today and made a new friend.  I have seen him walking before and introduced myself to him.  He is recovering from a stroke earlier this year and walks along the same path as I for his exercise regimen.  His name is Garret.  Pin Pin was surprising as she never offered to bark at him and was totally at ease with this stranger.  I have found dogs are good judges of character even if you are not.

I desire to read more daily and study the Bible more each and everyday.  I feel it is important to learn as much as anyone can each day.  Only if it is a little it will benefit you

Discipline.  I hope to adhere to a training plan I shall develop similar to one we used in the military to keep me on track and to achieve daily goals.  This Training Schedule is a guide and nothing etched in stone as each and everyday is a fluid motion of time and we must react to it and not necessarily be able to do just as we please.

I am thankful God has given me this day.  I give thanks unto Him who has delivered me here to this place.  I am happy to be here.  I am happy to be back in our peaceful home and waay from the place we found ourselves this time last month.
