Today’s Pond Photo…
Hi Fitblitzers…
After yesterday’s 6 mile (2 laps) walk, i really didn’t want to go out and do another 6 miles today..But I did, and I walked even faster as it was nice and overcast. Once my legs knew the sun wasn’t blazing, they seemed to just take off and wouldn’t slow down. I’m happy sat here typing this after doing 2 laps each day instead of 1, and I’m still in one piece, yay! 😀
I think ‘Thankful Thursday’ will be the day I try for 3 laps, as I have to reach 3 laps in August…So hopefully I’ll be thankful for managing 3 laps on Thursday. 🙏 At the moment I have a 500ml soft flask filled with Sarah’s zero sugar orange dilute water (well tasty), and I sip it around the second lap. But going longer I’ll have to take a little bite to eat too! 😋
Hey…I’ve just remembered it’s ‘Tuner Tuesday’, which means I’ll be getting one of Sarah’s monumental TUNA stack salad sarnies…Hopefully!! 😲
Now focus…
Let’s check if we’re in tune as it’s ‘Tuner Tuesday’. My D string (Deficit) is going well…I’ve lost 12 pounds so far, just 38 more to go! 💪🏼
EADGBE…🎸
- E – Endurance: Tortoise NOT Hare…This is for LIFE!
- A – Activity Rings: Close my daily apple fitness watch rings.
- D – Deficit: Make sure i’m in a healthy calorie deficit each day until healthy weight.
- G – Goals: Focus (and celebrate) small, medium and BIG goals.
- B – Body & BP: Check blood pressure & listen to my body and look after it (it’s not young anymore).
- E – Edification: Feeding my mind and soul fuels me to serve, encourage, and inspire others.
Scripture snack…
Isaiah 40:31.
But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint. (ESV)
Motivational Quote:..💪🏼
“I don’t need to see the full trail to know it’s worth walking. Every step I take is a statement that the challenges I face won’t hold me back. Some days the climb feels endless…But that’s when faith kicks in, my fitness keeps me moving and my focus reminds me why I started…Faith, Fitness & Focus“. – Steve (me)

Again, faith, fitness, and focus are moving you toward a God-given goal. You should be so proud of yourself–two laps two days in a row! Congratulations on not giving up!
Thanks so much, Dayle! Your encouragement really means a lot. Faith, fitness, and focus have been my anchors, and having a sister in Christ like you cheering me on makes the journey so special 🙏
2 laps, 2 days in a row might seem small, but for me it’s a huge win, and a great reminder that consistency really adds up. I’m determined to keep showing up, leaning on God’s strength, and celebrating each step forward and goal (no matter what size)…And Your words of encouragement really fuel that drive! God bless you. 😀
