Hi Fitblitzers…

First of all before I forget, I was asked by a friend when we were talking about my BIG 50 challenge…”So how many miles have you walked during your training so far?”. That was a question I didn’t know the answer to and didn’t think I’d be asked. So yesterday I added up all of the miles from every post on here since I started on 10th June 2024. And the grand total of miles (including today) is: 197.82 miles

I’m going to add that number of miles to the posts from now on so I can keep a record, I love stats, lol! 🤣 Back to the walk this morning and I (as usual) didn’t want to go out of my warm house and walk in the cold…But after a hot Sarah special espresso I headed out. As soon as I past the pond on lap 1 my legs instantly slowed a little and I thought “Oh no that’s how it is”. This meant that my legs were empty and they’re not walking any faster, so I had to switch to maintenance mode as I tried to drag them for another 5 miles in this state.

On the 2nd lap I managed to walk into a rogue golden Retriever that nearly popped my left knee out (the dog was fine). As I walk on a sandy coloured trail these are the worst dogs as they are like the Predator in the original Predator movie where it’s pretty much invisible! 😨 

My lovely Wife Sarah welcomed me with a big cuddle andmade me a hot coffee when I arrived home, and she’ll also spoil me with a TUNA stack sandwich for lunch too! 😋❤️

Now focus…

Now let’s check if we’re in tune as it’s ‘Tuner Tuesday’. My D string (Deficit) is especially going well…I’ve lost 23 pounds so far, just 27 more to go. I could change the tuning to Drop D tuning, lol! 🤣 

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)

Let’s ‘FitBlitz’ 2025 Together! 💪🏼
