Weights, dog walk, fire 🔥

Bryan go for a walk it got to be plus 14 Celsius but felt lot warm with the sun shining on you.

Here we are after the walk and weights just before dog dirt duty.

Having a fire 🔥 in the back yard, enjoying the smokeless fire pit. It has a combustible fan blowing air so the fire burns hotter and quicker but burns all the particulate up before it leave the fire 🔥

Bryan May of never helped pick up dog dirt but he did buy me half a sub for subway for the fruit smoothies I’ve been making with protein powder and creatine.

Got the fire 🔥 going and nice and warm up. Felt good to be out side.

I still got a 23 minute base run to do, but lots to get done ✅ around the house. 🏡

36 minutes 21 sets in weights we did good. 😊

1.75 km in 25 minutes is a decent walk.

The dog ramped up its leaderboard score to 29 today and Dixie is 33 above her breed today for active minutes.

By one pm she was well over her active minutes due to ball tossing in the back yard. We are now sitting in the shade blogging our morning routine.

Lifting weights 🏋️‍♀️ should press is probably the best photo of the routine to do.

95 days are done this year and 52 of them I have been smoke 💨 free as a non smoker. That’s more than half this year I’ve been a non smoker.

1/3 done picking up dog dirt and two bags of poop 💩. One bag of pine cones. I was thinking 🤔 about waiting till it was all done but I got tired and decided it might be a two day job.

It sounds like you have a busy and productive day! It's great to hear that you enjoyed your walk and got some exercise in with weights. The weather seems perfect for outdoor activities, especially with the sun shining.

Congratulations on being smoke-free for more than half of the year—that's a huge accomplishment! It also sounds like your dog is doing well, keeping active and having fun with the ball in the backyard.

As for the dog duty, taking it in smaller chunks over a few days is a good strategy if it feels overwhelming. Keep up the great work with your fitness routine, and enjoy your time outside!

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

🎉 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...

Plus 12 Celsius Smoke run 🏃‍♂️

The dog and I decided to do either a 3 km run or a 6 km run or 9 km run hoping for 10 km but I couldn’t find the energy to push further. It is smoky out there you could smell it and breath it in. Made me in my threshold if I keep a higher pace than 9 minutes km Cooler morning, I went and got a sausage homestyle biscuit from Tim’s and an ice coffee ☕️ Just getting my day started. I got a doctors appointment later today over the phone 📞 also. Hoping to take the dog 🐕 for a run 🏃‍♂️ this morning but I’m stiff. So hopefully my coffee stop warms me up to get moving this morning. Or just caffeinates me. We managed to do 6.05 km in about 59 minutes. A high heart rate of 172 bpm and an average of 144 bpm. Plus 12 Celsius while I ran but I was in full sweating 😅 by the time I got home 🏡. The last couple weeks I’ve had a low relative effort due to some family losses. But I manage to get out on a smoky day like today for a run. 🏃‍♂️ It’s been raining heavily the last...
