2019 – NoFear 9 – 30 Days of Yoga

Oh boy August came and when without even a thought.  I am blown away by how fast time is passing now.   Lots of activity during the month of August:  too Marcus back up to Cornell, visited and spent a day in Washington, DC visiting the various sites and monuments, visited Niagara and stayed in AirBnB in Newfane, about 30 min east of the falls.  We took our time and came back after spending about a week on the road.  It was really great to have the entire family on the road.  At this point I am 879 Days without a workout break. My Vivoactive 3 is still doing quite well, I think I can drop this part now.  I did find my old one and yes, it is totally dead.  I might try to see if I can even replace the battery.  This month, September, as we head into the Fall, I am gonna focus on eating and proper sleeping along with the yoga to de-stress.  Lot going on along the periphery, but such is life. I am still in the mid180-190s, but I am seeing a little abs, if I stand in the shadow some.  

This remains true – Still giving much love to DareBee with my dailies and Daily Dare.  I simply love it.  I am feeling fit and strong

Beard is still here; wife is still not giving any love to it.  I got me some beard oil, and resisting the cut.

Chey is now back in school with full force and Marcus is finishing up his final year.  I need to have Chey driving by the end of the year.  She is preparing for her PSAT in October and will be taking her SAT and ACT both in December.  We had a slight hiccup with her playing band this semester, and while it remains a flea in my bonnet, I have moved on.     

(Kept from previous foreword) – Additionally, I have added a couple layers of complexity or demand to my workout.  First, I am religiously sticking to DareBee and the Daily Dare; I am also, keeping the preliminaries.  Second, I have added a consecutive component – so, starting with the end of IronBorn (9 April 2017), I have worked consecutively.  I intend to push for 60 straight day, then see if I can get to 90.  So far I am enjoying it and my body seems to be rising to the occasion.  I caught the flu a few day before the end of the last phase (around May 2017) – I worked through it and was back up in only a couple of days.  It appears pushing through and forcing my body to continue working, I was able to push the flu out of my way.  I am also continuing my virtual push to OKC via Benton.  I am really enjoying that but I will have to pick up the mileage here in the next phase as I am running out of time. Keep leaning forward.
