 Dog 🐕 is at my feet 👣 on this full moon 🌕 night


👣 after my run I put my feet up. I took some psyllium husk before my run, I think I have two weeks to decrease my cholesterol so I don’t get my cholesterol pill increased.  It’s been two months of inactivity. So getting out and running is just what I need to do.  

 I think it’s make believe to think I can lose ten pounds to my blood work day.

But I think if I fast before hand 🤚 I might be able to get a lower metabolic syndrome of poor insulin and cholesterol so that’s what I’m planning with taking psyllium husk and cottage cheese in the morning for protein.

And some meat 🥩 for supper planned For Thursday 


1.83 km of running 🏃‍♂️ I’m 16 minutes.

I feel great after


Managed to make a run after work and pick up groceries for Kim and my Valentine’s Day gift 🎁. I bought rib eye steak 🥩 for Thursday since we’re going out with friends on the Friday.  

I’m excited 😊 for it, instead of flowers 🌹 it’s usually what I do is get steak 🥩 


The dog is laying down on her bed now.

I was running for about ten minutes and walking for about four. And 2 minutes of inactivity maybe due to dog dirt and dog sniffing.



41 VO2 max I went up one point which is nice 😊 


30 km winds tonight so it got cold 🥶, -15 when I went for my run.  🏃‍♂️ I started the run hard and had a pace of 5 minutes for the first time   .8 km 



My running and walking and a a few idle times in my walk.  Most of it was at the end of the run 🏃‍♂️.

The dog stats today are



Dixie is average for her breed minutes she hasn’t fallen under our average even with this bitter cold 🥶 she is really what makes me run 30 minutes more minutes more  than the average male when at home. 🏡 
Dixie sleep 💤 os good and activity is good, it’s great 😊 to see her happy 😃.


It sounds like you had a productive run today, especially given the cold weather! It’s great to hear that you're getting back into an active routine after a couple of months of inactivity. Running alongside your dog, Dixie, must make it even more enjoyable, and it sounds like she's doing well too!


Incorporating psyllium husk and cottage cheese for protein is a smart choice, especially if you're aiming to improve your cholesterol and insulin levels before your blood work. Reducing weight healthily in a short timeframe can be challenging, but it’s great that you’re focusing on both exercise and nutrition.


A 41 VO2 max is impressive, and it’s wonderful to see you improve! Stay warm in the cold weather, and keep up the good work with your training goals.

Celebrating Ten Years and Living My Best Life🧘‍♂️ A Quiet Day at Home

By
  🎉 Celebrating 10 Years Together Last night was a beautiful celebration of a decade spent with Kim. We marked our 10-year anniversary with a cozy dinner at The Keg, where I indulged in a hearty 20 oz steak and Kim opted for a more modest 8 oz cut. It felt so good to get out together and enjoy a special evening. We kept things simple—just water to drink, with fresh bread and salad to start. The atmosphere was perfect, and I soaked in every moment of our time together. We’re incredibly grateful for our families, who made the night even more special. My parents generously gave us cash to enjoy our dinner, and Kim’s parents gifted us movie money so we could extend the celebration. Their thoughtfulness reminded us how lucky we are to be surrounded by love and support. Family and friends made it sweeter We were so blessed by our families: my parents gave us cash to enjoy the night and Kim’s parents sent money for a movie treat. Our friends even gifted us a 20% tip card for the meal...

Gratitude, Good Food, and Good Books

By
 A Thanksgiving weekend of family meals, long walks, and reaching 86 books this year Bryan and I headed out for a walk after he returned from his sister’s Thanksgiving gathering, settling into a steady 30‑minute pace that carried us just under 2 km. The air was crisp with a light breeze, the kind of weather that makes movement feel effortless. I’ve always loved these cooler temperatures—my body doesn’t have to work as hard, and the transition from “easy mode” into a gentle warm‑up felt natural. Carrying 30 pounds with me added that extra layer of challenge, but it blended seamlessly into the rhythm of the walk. We paused at a park bench along the way, taking a moment to sit together before snapping a photo. That small break reminded me how these walks are as much about connection as they are about distance or weight carried. The combination of fresh air, conversation, and the grounding presence of the season made the outing feel restorative. It wasn’t just a walk—it was a reminder...

Back in Stride: A Run Worth Celebrating

By
 After seven weeks of setbacks and recovery, I laced up with Dixie and reclaimed my rhythm—3.64 km of steady effort, heart in the aerobic zone, and a reminder that progress starts with showing up. This afternoon, Dixie and I laced up and headed out for a run while the daylight was still holding on. It felt so good to be back out there after a bit of a break, moving at our own pace and enjoying the fresh air together. There’s something about running with Dixie that makes the effort lighter—her energy and joy keep me motivated, even when I’m easing back into the rhythm. At first, I thought about pushing myself to five kilometers, but I remembered the back pain I’ve been dealing with and decided to listen to the advice of my AI fitness coach: don’t overdo it on the first run back. That reminder helped me focus on the joy of the moment instead of chasing distance. Sometimes the smartest choice is to start slow, and today proved that pacing myself was exactly what I needed. The run en...
