Year 2 Day 343 – “Living the Dream”. Friday, 4/7/2023. It was rainy cool in the morning. The afternoon was mostly cloudy, but still cool. It did make it into the 50’s though. Steve worked on the lower and middle level railings. He puttied, caulked, and sanded everything and primed the lower-level ones. The painting of the stair railings in this house will take days.
I worked on updating Www.DeesTimes.com. Trying to get the blog up to date. I added January 10, 2023, and realized that was the first morning I walked on the tread mill. Wow, I am impressed with my progress. I walked about 15 minutes and gave up that morning. Now I walk 45 minutes starting at 5am. Then I lift weights and do floor exercises for another 20 minutes. It is a series of 12 different exercises. I did some research and picked out exercises for parts of my body I wanted to tone, strengthen or stretch. I already feel a large difference in my flexibility, strength and endurance. After Easter is over, I am going to take a fitness test. Then every six weeks I am going to see how much of a difference the results are. This fitness test consists of these five tests. You must keep perfect form for each exercise. Once you are out of form the exercise count stops. 1) How many pushups can you do in 1 minute? 2) How long can you hold a plank? 3) How many jumping Jacks can you do in 1 minute? 4) How long can you hold a back extension for? (Superman fly) 5) How many squats can you do in one minute? This test is going to be my way of ensuring I improve myself. The scale is not changing since I am eating way too much. Have to get that under control. Heading on vacation soon for thirty days. Going to have to hit the gym every day. Will I? I am not a group gym person. Must be a loner!
Today’s product recommendation is for creating that perfect back yard fire pit area. We bought this fire pit last year and never used it. I can’t wait to set it up. It is sturdy and wonderful. I also will be purchasing these four wooden Adirondack chairs and a two-person set. What a cozy place it will be to sit with company. https://amzn.to/3N9z93s https://amzn.to/43HIbu0 https://amzn.to/3CemxSl
