Losing the COVID-19

During this unprecedented time, many  people (all over the world) have suffered devastating losses. For some, these losses were economic, for others the losses were far more tragic. My heart breaks for all who have suffered.

For most of us, we will get through this difficult time and life will go on. We are strong and we will recover. We have each other and that will be the source of our healing.

Once we get back to living our lives, there will be changes and challenges. During the outbreak of this virus, we have learned the importance of maintaining good health.

Those in poor health were the least able to fight this terrible virus. This time has made me more acutely aware of the importance of  health and fitness.

Before this outbreak, I was beginning a fitness program to get myself back to the condition I was so proud of when I was in my 40's. Now in my 50's, I wish to regain that physique.

I was doing well with my program just before the shutdown. My gym closed and I found myself stuck at home. Yep, it was just me, my TV and my refrigerator. Long story short, I gained nearly 20 pounds. (AKA: the COVID-19)

Once again, I am hitting the reset button on fitness. I know many of you are in the same boat. We are in this together. We will win this together.

I will begin my journey back to my ideal body-weight and more importantly, to my ideal body. Today is Sunday. I will begin my journey tomorrow.

This is a challenge and I will prevail - so will you, if you join me.

I share this to hold myself accountable. I promised myself I would get back to my 160 lb. frame. I am close to 190 now. (I am 5'7" tall) This is the heaviest I have ever been.




Return to this blog for updates, ideas, tips and encouragement. Together we will recover our lives and our fitness.

By the way, during a five week span where I was unable to work, I used the time to write my first novel.

The book is called "Badger's Magic."

This is a young adult novel, written to inspire young teens to overcome challenges. The focus is on bullies, but there is some magic, fun and an interesting twist.
