This post is one that is very difficult for me. I’m sharing something my parish has known for the last couple of months. The time of my public ministry is quickly coming to an end, at least for now. I’m taking time away to work on myself: mental, physical, and spiritual health. The stress of…
It was a great day for a birthday walk!
So my lack of weight loss is telling me that my lack of movement is a problem. So I got out on a warm day off and walked for three miles. It felt good, but I did have to stop a couple of times to sit in the park (which wasn’t all bad: I got…
You have to take every little win when you’re trying to get back on your feet. I’ve been struggling with plantar’s fasciitis for a couple of months, and I finally told myself to get in to the podiatrist. The exercises he gave me seem to be helping, and I was feeling well enough today to…
It was one of those days off when I just didn’t have a lot in me. Plus I had a bunch of chores to do. But, in between, I did get in a short treadmill workout. I definitely didn’t want to stroll in the 90 degree heat and amid the screaming cicadas (I was hoping…
I just had around a half hour to walk today, so I did a short Rosary/Divine Mercy walk in the neighborhood around the Rectory. Beautiful day, and I smelled roses where there were no roses, so I reconsecrated my life and priesthood to the Blessed Virgin Mary on this, the memorial of her Immaculate Heart….
So I know I need to get the exercise in, but lately I have found every excuse not to. Today, I had the time, the weather was great, and there was no reason not to go out and get in the long walk I have been needing. Except, of course, I really wanted to take…
It was a busy day off, but I found 45 minutes to get to the gym and do a cardio workout. Treadmill, elliptical, and recumbent bike. It got my heart rate up and made all the other events of 5he day more enjoyable. That’s always good!
I had to talk myself into it, but, as usual, I’m glad I did. Easy 20 minute Quiet Punch workout was a little tough on the plantar’s fasciitis, but not terrible. And even though it was an easy/beginner level workout, it still helped me sweat. Workout Record Workout Type 🥊 Boxing-Quiet Punch Workout Time 20…
I swear, my injured foot bothers me less during exercise than during work. I’m not sure what that’s telling me! So I got to the gym today and did half an hour on the treadmill and then some upper body strength training. I have to say it felt really good. Love my gym!
