Today’s Pond Photo…
Hi Fitblitzers…
Once again I didn’t want to go out, but stay as ‘Doctor Steve’ and look after my lovely Wife Sarah. And once again my excuses didn’t work, as I have a 2 hour window between Sarah’s eye drops…She sent me out again so she can get some much needed sleep.
It was super sonny this morning which made for nice photos hopefully? But it wasn’t good for me as I like overcast. But it’s not all about me, lol, it’s about getting you some nice photos to look at! 😀
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!! 😲
Sarah’s Stupendous Scooby Stack Sandwich…😋
The moment it landed on the plate, it was obvious this was no ordinary sandwich. The wholemeal bread, dotted with seven seeds like a constellation of crunchy gems, held secrets within its soft, nutty embrace. Sarah had layered it with precision. A tin of tender tuna, each flake perfectly seasoned, nestled beside the creamy coolness of fat free cottage cheese, a gentle tang dancing across every bite.
Lettuce leaves and slices of tomato and cucumber added a crisp, refreshing crunch, while beetroot brought a sweet, earthy depth. And then, oh yes, the slice of ham, subtly smoky, draped over it like a satin ribbon.
The first bite was symphony: the nutty seeds gave a satisfying crunch, the tuna mingled with cottage cheese in silky harmony, and the salad popped with freshness.
Each subsequent bite was a journey: the earthiness of beetroot grounding the soul, the seeds sparking tiny bursts of flavor, and the ham whispering just the right note of indulgence. It wasn’t just lunch, it was a masterpiece, and Sarah, its brilliant creator.
By the time the last morsel was gone, I wasn’t just full, I was grateful. Grateful for flavors that danced, textures that delighted, and a sandwich that somehow tasted like love.
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 14 pounds (1 stone) so far, just 36 more to go! 💪🏼

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)
Let’s ‘FitBlitz’ 2025 Together! 💪🏼

You’re wise to listen to your wife–she knows what you need, plus she needs the sleep. And have you ever considered writing for a food magazine? Your description was amazing! That, and endurance is for life. Sometimes we just need that reminder to keep on leaning into Jesus.
Hey Dayle! Oh yeah I always listen to lovely Sarah, she knows me better than I do!
As you told me you were a visual learner, I decided to go all out and described an EPIC eating delight! 😋
I’m slowly learning that E-Endurance is for life, and not just when I have a #BlindSteve challenge, lol! I need to focus all of the time and lean of Jesus. 🙏 😀
