I got to meet a new friend this week and we are going to work out again tomorrow.

Pretty good workout partner to have; doesn't care how big you are, really makes sure you are using good positioning and technique.

Although a little quiet, and I think will just continue to push, no matter how well I progress...



...oh, sorry...



...yes, I have a picture...



...here ya go...

Yep, that's right blog fans, I finally got to do some resistance training!!!!

Now, don't get TOO excited, it is not like I was racking the stack.
I am not anywhere near the weights I used to be able to use; I won't impress anyone with my lifting power.

But, at least I have started on a path BACK to having some strength.

Since I am just starting, I am in that period where the weights are going to move a lot each time. We need to find the weights that challenge me enough, but not too much.

So while I was up to 150lbs bench press years ago, I am at 60lbs (and increasing) now. Not exactly Mr. Universe numbers, but ya gotta start somewhere.

So, that's it....that's the news for today for me.....unfortunately I have to ask you all for prayers again.

A close friend of ours has lost his mom way to early in life. She has left behind 2 granddaughters each less than 5 years old. Our friend, her son, is one of the most caring, faithful gentlemen I know. While we all will lose parents some day, this man deserved many more years with his mom, a wonderful woman. Please pray for strength of heart and soul for our friend as he deals with this loss.

Good night & God bless.
