TOTFIT's Total Fitness Page

Well, wonderful things seem to be happening in my life. I am really grateful to have a newly established relationship with God, that is now for me the base for my totfit lifestyle. I just completed a three mile run, that felt great with only minor "knee twinges." Looking forward to our vacation in Florida first week in July. We just purchased a Burley Tandem that we won't get until Friday, but looking forward to some family rides along cape san blas down to Appalachiacola. Had a blast at my son's three year old birthday party yesterday. We had a camping theme at a park with a huge playground and we all had a ball, especially me.

Well back home again after a week working out of town. I am now an AA champion. I have decided to follow through on my sobriety with the support of aa about other resources. Imagine that. I really don't know where all of this is coming from, but I am being moved in that direction. Looks like I will be out of town for about a month. I am not happy about this. there is so much going on right now. I am getting ready to go on vacation. Rad's birthday is coming up. I just really don't know what I am going to do about work. Fitness wise I am doing ok. Work plays a big role in my fitness at the moment, but I have also been running and biking a bit. Well, better get out and cut the grass right now.

Well, my last post just dissappeared. I am TOTFIT today in mind, body, and spirit. I am in Chattanooga spending a couple of days at the aquarium. I am not sure what I will be doing after tomorrow. Tomorrow we head to Cleveland, TN. Been doing a lot of thinking about AA lately. I think I will spend some aa time. Hopefully, and I really feel that my last drink is done. Well, I am also getting sentimental about things in my life. I feel, really feel and it is good. Don't know much else for now. Heading to river fest.

Really had a great weekend mentally, spiritually, and physically. Isn't that total fitness? The physical aspects for the weekend were a two mile run and one mile walk on Saturday with a home gutter cleaning session. Yesterday we biked about 19 miles round trip to the YMCA where we took Radnor swimming. It was ready to storm on the way back, so we stopped at Uncle Bud's Catfish to eat and wait out the storm. Perfect timing ate during the storm and had a leisurely ride home. Went to an AA meeting Saturday also. I feel more confident in my sobriety than I have ever I guess. I am not as much confident that I will stay sober as I am confident in my commitment and the knowledge that absolutely nothing positive will come from a drink, so why bother? Really, today I just feel blessed. I feel blessed to be who I am with what I have been given in life. Life is good! I am up in the early morning hours unable to sleep writing this which is not so good, but I am awake from gratitude a

Well, after changing from a teacher to heavy commercial form carpenter, the summer pace is here. Seems that I am mostly used to the work once again, though I will still be getting in better work shape for a couple more months or so. Have some regret from time to time about the teaching, but I know in my heart that I am best suited to something else that is less stressful. I am sober and intend to stay that way. I am grateful for this fact and will do anything to maintain this attitude. Still not eating as light as I would like, but not sure how much lighter I could eat with the work I do.Later

Teenage daughter is really giving us the run around about visitation at the moment. The only time she is really sure to contact us or be available for contact is when she wants some money. Guess it is not a unique situation, but I am tired of it. I am especially tired of the quarterly pleas from her mother for extra money. I think when she turns 18 it may be all over. Two more years and I am done. Sober thing is going well. Went to an actual face to face AA meeting yesterday and even spoke up. I think for the most part I am doing well on the totfit scale. I would say currently operating about a 7 on the scale of the unattainable 10.

I am so sick of the politics and propaganda of this administration that I would just about renounce my citizenship. Hope for change is my only hope. Lies and propaganda fuel the heartbeat of our country and its citizenry. What to do? I am still firm in totfit/totsob. I am wanting to go to a meeting. I think tomorrow morning will be a good one for me. I have so much work to do at the house, that I don't know if I will ever be done. I will just do what I can tomorrow. Sunday will be a spiritual rest and relaxation day. Along with a workout of course.

Wow, the days of the week are flying by. I am having little problem now with the TOTFIT/TOTSOB mentality. The only thing I seem to have problems with is the restlessness as far as jobs go. I don't know if there is little going on here at DELL or not, but now wish I had stayed there. Oh well, the main thing is to just keep on moving forward, right? Better go for now. All is well!

Well, just back to the normal routine after the holiday. I am trying to lose a pound a week through vacation time first week of July. Am going to try to add no less than three aerobic days during the week as it has been averaging 2-3 the past four or five weeks. Addictive thinking these days is at a minimum except for sexual thinking. Well, I must start thinking meditating and working on the spiritual part of my fitness triangle. JUST DO IT!
