A start of a new week means a full week of me waking up at 5am to run our dogs. If you missed what I wrote last week, my wife went to visit her family in Colombia and will be gone for total of three long weeks. Technically 18 more days until my sweetheart returns.
Since our dogs need to have an exercise outlet (and naturally myself also) I have decided to wake up an hour early before work and run our two dogs around the neighborhood. By doing so they will both get tired and be more docile while hanging out at home for the better part of the day while I am at work. Plus, I will be starting off each day kicking my metabolism into gear and not really have to worry about working out at the end of the day when I might be a little more lazy and lethargic from the day’s events.
Tentatively, I am planning on running every morning this work week, but also plan on including evening workouts as follows:
Sorry I haven’t posted my progress here on HealthyChoicesInLife.com for a few days now, but my wife just finished her first year of post graduate work at USC so we celebrated that accomplishment for two days, and then she packed and left to visit her family in Colombia for the next three weeks. She has only been gone a day and I already miss my little lobster – thank God for Skype 
Another weekend is over, but this is the first time that I am actually really pleased with how it turned out in regards to my health and fitness goals. This was actually one of the most healthiest weekends in as long as I can remember. It all started with my Friday night dinner which you can see in the picture posted alongside here, a 6″ inch subway sandwich with just ham, lettuce, spinach, pickles, olives, peppers, and mustard all on Honey Oat bread. I complimented that with a sliced orange and a large glass of plain drinking water.
I PLAYED TENNIS!!! I’m so happy that I finally got back out on the court and played the sport that I love so much. Not only was I able to demo three really good racquets that are designed with the arm/elbow in mind, but I was able to play without pain. My brother and I got to the tennis courts that are only five minutes away from my home around 4pm yesterday and we found all four courts completely vacant which was a pleasant surprise.
