Diary of Dad

Slight change of tactic. I have created a new set of blogs to keep my personal journey separate to other parts that I may write about, I will leave what I have done well alone, but I feel that I am onto something now and it will, hopefully be useful.

Although, I haven’t been blogging, I have been exercising, but for me I can’t get to BMF anymore, due to some changes. Out of necessity I have joined a gym. I am now going in swimming for half hour before work and exercising on a bike and rowing machine in the evening.

Today I did ten lengths, less than in previous weeks, but the plan was two slow, by two fast and repeat. I was exhausted. This process of raising the heart rate and getting it back down again is supposed to be highly beneficial. In the evening, I cycled for 20 minutes with a three slow and one minute fast for the time. I covered six km which isnt much but it is a first stab, on the rowing machine, I was concentrating on getting the technique right and about half way through 15 minutes, it appeared to fall into place, I covered 2700 m. My body feels proper tired right now.

Yesterday, was a good day with my lads, really nice card and it made me emotional again. Silly old sod, I am so lucky with them. Great sons and friends. I am out for dinner tomorrow night, for breakfast this morning I had a banana, lunch was a pasta salad and scotch egg (oops) and tea was chicken risotto.

Back to my miracle morning, I am going to put my news scores down, and I definitely feel there is an improvement:

Fitness, previous 29 and I reckon Im a 35
Diet, previous 15, now 16
Happiness, previous 35, now 39
Well Being, previous 60, now 63
Strength, previous 55, now 55
Technology Dependance, 15, now 25
Sleep, previous 25, now 75
Hydration, previous 35, now 50
Spirituality, previous 39, now 45

Now then, you can see an improvement in a few weeks, it is really working, in particular in the area of my sleep. I am sleeping like a baby. I am so tired now, yet it is easy to get up in the morning. I definitely recommend getting yourself a copy of the miracle morning, by Hal Elrod. it is making a difference for both Jack and I.
