31 Days Of An Ultimate Fitness Challenge: Day 8 "Get Indoors"
Hurricane Matthew landed last night and all we are experiencing are high winds and much rain. Our prayers are with those who have experienced challenges of their own, including loss.
I'm not going to say much about nutrition except that one is greatly benefited to clean up the diet. A diet is anything you eat so to say, "I'm going on a diet" is like saying, "I'm going to eat." Change the diet, move away from whites (rice, bread, pastas) and go to whole wheat (including brown rice, pasta, bread, etc.). Those whites become sugars, simply, and the body likes to store that stuff. If you are like me, it's not all that easy so tracking helps. Truthfully, I'm having biscuits and gravy this morning but I'm also having a nice serving eggs. Of course, cutting back caffeine helps too. MODERATION!
Since the garage is in accessible due to a car and other things under cover because of the storm, I can't get to my weights or other equipment. But that does not mean I can't exercise. Today, I'm doing a 25 minute body weight workout in my bedroom that is guaranteed to smoke everything I've got. Does not require much room. Just time. And energy. Like biscuits to burn ;-) Here it is:
10 4-count Jumping Jack

10 Hand Stand Push-ups (or Dive-bomber Push-up)

Now, if you would like to do SOMETHING (and something is better than nothing), here's a suggestion: "Easy Daily Workout" at Darebee.com. It can be done at a pace with which your are most comfortable. Should you require instruction, there is an excellent video library to visit. No membership or sign-up required. I love this site! You don't have to do the pace set. Make adjustments and go at your own speed.
Play Hard!

“Men and women who saw God in the Bible: Why did they not all die?”
July 2004 I went to Kenya, Africa to speak in two Pastor’s Conferences on the subject of Man, Sin and Salvation. At the end of each day I left just over an hour for questions (half the time were questions touching the subject of my lectures, and the other half for “open questions”; that is, people could ask anything). For the next few weeks, I will be sharing the questions that were asked of me, and my answers—and believe me when I say these people really know how to think! Question from Kenya #1: “Men and women who saw God in the Bible: Why did they not all die?” [“ But He said, ‘You cannot see My face, for no man can see Me and live! ’” (Exodus 33:20) was the basis of the student’s question]. Answer: First, consider those who did see God—how did they respond when they saw Him? They were instantly aware of their sinfulness, and God’s holiness and righteousness (to name a few. And notice also that each responded in an attitude of worship, bowing down): Abraham built altars, wors
A Sonnet
“My God, where is that ancient heat towards thee, Wherewith whole shoals of martyrs once did burn, Besides their other flames? Doth poetry Wear Venus' livery? only serve her turn? Why are not sonnets made of thee? and lays Upon thine altar burnt? Cannot thy love Heighten a spirit to sound out thy praise As well as any she? Cannot thy Dove Outstrip their Cupid easily in flight? Or, since thy ways are deep, and still the fame, Will not a verse run smooth that bears thy name! Why doth that fire, which by thy power and might Each breast does feel, no braver fuel choose Than that, which one day, worms may chance refuse. Sure Lord, there is enough in thee to dry Oceans of ink; for, as the Deluge did Cover the earth, so doth thy Majesty: Each cloud distills thy praise, and doth forbid Poets to turn it to another use. Roses and lilies speak thee; and to make A pair of cheeks of them, is thy abuse Why should I women's eyes for crystal take? Such poor invention burns in their low mind Wh
Finished Reading: Edward The Second
“Edwardum occidere nolite timere, bonum est Fear not to kill the king, ’tis good he die. But read it thus, and that’s another sense: “Edwardum occidere nolite, timere bonum est Kill not the king, ’tis good to fear the worst.” Act 5, Scene 4 of “Edward The Second” by Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)
