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.
