News

Figure I will get an updated list of events posted.
Also an update to my workouts and runs that I have added.
And finally weight update since it is Sunday.


First and foremost, it seems most people missed this on my last blog so I will make a not here too.
I went to the doctor to do a follow up.
I am no longer considered diabetic.
This means the list of ailments I have removed can include, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and obesity.
While I am still heavier than the "normal" my doctor is happy with where I am.

And in reverse order, weight:
223.8 pounds
Seems like I didn't lose as much muscle mass this time but need to get a few more weeks to verify after my med and diet change.


Running:
I have started trying to do more running.
Going over to do the ParkRun in Eagan.
They do a timed 5k every Saturday for free.
All volunteer run and after, we go over to Starbucks to hang out and chat.

2019 Charity:

I am going to include this section about the AFSP walk on most every post I do I think.
I really want to raise the money for it.

My big charity event this year will be the AFSP Out of the Darkness walk in September.
https://afsp.donordrive.com/participant/RuckForAwareness
I am going to carry 22lbs in my back pack for the 22 Veterans that suicide every day.
I will carry the weight to represent the weight that those thinking about suicide carry EVERY DAY.

If I reach $250 in donations I will double that to 44lbs.

If I reach my goal of $500 in donations, I will carry the 44lbs in my bag AND 2 10lb kettle bells the entire way.

Currently I am at $175 so have started the training with the plan of making the higher number.

I have close friends that have attempted suicide.
I have talked to people that have been able to tell me what a gun feels like in their mouth when they pulled the trigger to practice for their suicide.
I have seen the scars on their arms where they cut themselves.
I have seen the effects of their attempts on their friends and family.
