Plus 10 Celsius and a 3 km run

 Dixie and I run πŸƒ‍♂️ 3 km


Sun is shining, I got my yellow trainings on yellow leash.  Sun ☀️ is shining, exercise definitely πŸ’― decreases my stress. You can see this Friday I never ran and my stress was at 50 that day.



A day like today is half that.  And a seven day stats are in and I can see my stress is way down again with every day I exercise.

So more do stabilizing my mood, metabolic syndrome how I eat and sleep. πŸ’€ 



I’m at a year low on stress this end of February with my running and training.  Kept me motivated to get out once the weather cooperates 




My VO2 Max went up ten points in the last six months


My VO2 Max went up ten points in the last six months

I think it’s easier to see results in VO2 max than weight has been hard to manage this winter 

My BMI is finally dropping after December and January spike

I was skirting near obesity still over weight but at least it’s dropping now 

Couple more weeks til I get my lipids checked again to see where my blood 🩸 work is

Hopefully it’s still plummeting been eating cottage cheese for breakfast lunch and eating psyllium husk

I’m expecting jurassic change from where I was in January


My body fats dropping faster than my BMI



And this morning I got a πŸ’― body battery πŸ”‹, which I’ve never seen before 



Next few days are nice weather and I’m getting out while the weather is nice 😊 sun ☀️ shining weather.  Alberta blue sky’s 






How my 3 km run πŸƒ‍♂️ looked like is great 😊, got in my run after grocery shopping, taking bottles back.

It’s been a great morning to afternoon 


The dog stats come in she didn’t sleep πŸ’€ the best neither did Kim or I never did either getting a fair sleep πŸ’€ but I still got a good body battery. πŸ”‹ 



Dixie is 7% above her breed for today’s active minutes.



It sounds like you had a fantastic day! Running 3 km with Dixie in the beautiful sunshine must have been refreshing. It’s impressive to see how your regular exercise is positively impacting your stress levels and overall health, especially with significant improvements in your VO2 Max and body fat. 


It’s great to hear that your BMI is dropping and that you’re feeling motivated to keep up the exercise as the weather gets nicer. Eating healthy, like incorporating cottage cheese and psyllium husk into your meals, seems to be working wonders. 


Remember to keep an eye on your lipids; it sounds like you’re on a positive path! Enjoy the nice weather in the coming days, and keep up the great work with your training and running! πŸƒ‍♂️

Plus 4 Celsius 6.1 km in a hour πŸƒ‍♂️

  Dixie and I go for a run  πŸƒ‍♂️ Dixie and I go for a run, redo a hill run down and up again. Kim picks me up after I climb the hill, I called her and asked since I was over my hour mark, originally I wanted to do 9 km in an hour but I managed to do six km instead.  I think it was the hill climb that did it.  I ran fully down hill no problem 😌 We made good time.  For a hill run πŸƒ‍♂️   It looks like it will be 13 Celsius by noon but it feels warmer in the sun. ☀️  I took a picture by the usual spot that judge where the river is from other years and with that rain the last couple days it definitely looks a lot better than what it was a few weeks ago Dixie went off leash for a bit and went to the river. Must’ve been cold. I think for April water dip. I managed to bring my VO2 max up to good 😊 today, it’s the first time I’ve put it in the green since owning my second Garmin. So my goal right now is to get an endurance score over 5099 To move past ...

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

  πŸŽ‰ 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

 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...
