 Day 2 of Bonus week for the Forty-Forty Challenge complete. Got in a mile in the gym then 0.75 mile on my walking pad while listening to the InPHORMed Zoom call with just Samuel since Nick had to help a youth baseball team at the request of the CEO Sal. After I finish week 8 of the step bet challenge I'm in I talked to Kelly and decided to drop my steps to 12K since I'm having trouble getting in my 15K before a decent enough time to let my watch charge and be in bed by 9PM again.

 Challenged myself today and went an extra 5 minutes on my walking pad I'll shoot for 20 minutes tomorrow after church. Finally got an estimated delivery date on my Forty-Forty Challenge packet it will be here hopefully on Wed. All depending on our mail since it's got to go from Wisconsin to Kansas City not sure of any stops in-between.

 Another great gym workout where I got out of my comfort zone by using the Machine Lat Raises and Front Raises. Got in 10 min on my walking pad and think I'll go longer tomorrow since I won't have already walked my mile by noon. Still hoping that my package for the 40-40 challenge gets here before Ash Wednesday which is 1 week from today.

 Stepped out of my comfort zone this morning with a couple of new exercises. Leaning Cable Lat Raises and Bent Over Cable Rear Delt Flys both using just the cable and no attachment. Tomorrow I'll be out of my comfort zone again with the machine lateral raises and front raises I've only done them with a DB but never with the machine other than to play around and it was too hard then. Got my steps in early tonight so can let my watch charge to 100%. Got in a 10 min walk on my walking pad after dinner was going to join the Zoom call but still have a slight headache and didn't feel good so decided to skip this weeks call might see the topic for next week to join either the noon or 5PM call. Some nights I write more than others but might for Lent write more than just a couple of sentences. I noticed on Step Bet that my steps are very rarely correct they are usually a lot higher on the app and I'm tired of sending an e-mail so I'll just deal with it for the next 2 weeks a...

Friday Feb 6, 2026

 Walked at a 2.6 speed on my treadmill and tracking on my watch I had a mile done in 20 minutes. This morning I decided to put the handle on my treadmill for a little more stability while I was walking. Both Evening Cocktail and Morning drink are in the funnels for a little later tonight and for tomorrow morning. Meds, Full-Mega, Micro Factor and GDA are ready for tomorrow.

 Day 3 of 1 mile a day complete. Got my order today so I was just 1 day without Creatine and L-Carnitine. Bought a fatigue mat to put my walking pad on to make it easier to move and also it's not as noisy sitting on it. Got in my mile in about 35 minutes but I was walking 2.0 tonight but will walk a little faster tomorrow night to get my mile done in 30 minutes or less.

 Got in a great JSF workout this morning and got my walking pad set up this evening so will spend more time on it tomorrow evening after work.

Tuesday Feb 3, 2026

 Stepped out of my comfort zone this morning and used the sissy squat machine I've seen it several times in the gym but have always been afraid of it but since it was in the programming for today I did it. Got my driver's license renewed this afternoon so that's done. My new walking pad arrived today but haven't taken it out of the box to set it up yet will do that tomorrow after getting back from shopping. Jumping pull ups are on the program for tomorrow but I might do ring rows or inverted pull ups instead or even use the assisted pull up machine will decide when I get into the gym.

 Got in a great At Home Full-Body workout after dinner and Pliability after getting my nighttime routine started. Tomorrow I'll do Week 1 Day 1 Gym 2.0 Quads + Accessories in the gym. Ordered some stuff from 1st Phorm today and got free protein sticks so got the BBQ flavor to take on Friday for Roy.
