Carmie's back! My beautiful girlfriend just got back from Italy Saturday night. To celebrate, we decided to cook together. The menu? Steak, grilled vegetables, salad, and homemade tomato sauce! Here are some pictures: Homemade tomato sauce! The Sauce! Making good use of our grill - Steak!

Morning coffee: Tim Hortons Medium Black Coffee ++ 6 a.m. wake-up. No morning workout, opting for rest. Took time to make and enjoy breakfast. ++ Same general breakfast / lunch, switching mixed greens with the romaine. Breakfast I was walking by the cafeteria and found out it was BBQ day! Fortunately, I didn't bring my wallet and had made lunch. While I definitely love BBQ, I like feeling fit a bit more. Here's the lunch I ended up eating today :) Lunch myfitnesspal profile

Morning coffee: Tim Hortons Medium Dark Roast ... then a small cup of freshly brewed coffee at the office :) ++ "For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality; that each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor, not in the passion of lust like the Gentiles who do not know God; that no one transgress and wrong his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as we told you beforehand and solemnly warned you. For God has not called us for impurity, but in holiness. Therefore whoever disregards this, disregards not man but God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you." --1 Thessalonians 4:3-8 ++ I woke up this morning at 6 a.m. and started my exercise routine at 6:30 a.m. My goal during this time was to complete a specific work set, and more importantly, to improve my quality of life during my work day. I held back on one exercise, saving it for tonight. I'm learnin...

Morning Coffee: McDonald's Small Coffee ... then shortly after, Tim Hortons Small Coffee :) ++ "Finally, then, brothers, we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, just as you are doing, that you do so more and more." --1 Thessalonians 4:1 ++ "Blameless" by Building 429 ++ A great post on waking up early:  Sleep Hacking: A 21-Day 4:30am Early Rising Challenge While 4:30 a.m. is a bit nuts for me at this moment, I like the ideas and the story she tells of her journey. Today, I woke up at 6 a.m., no snooze :) ++ Back to Basics. Started logging again on myfitnesspal . Today's breakfast + lunch

Morning Coffee: Tim Hortons Medium Coffee ++ I woke up at 5 a.m. yesterday and today to make it to the gym for the 6 a.m. class. I've been trying to "beat the sunrise" everyday and get up by 5 a.m. If my body needs rest and I have the opportunity, I'll take it! Other times, I just need to wake up and get into the grind . Wake up, embrace life, and set about your day with purpose and excitement! "Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise." --Benjamin Franklin I'm in no ways proof of this statement, but I'm learning to learn from the timeless wisdom of ages past. ++ "Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days." Psalm 90:14 ++ I finished my first speech contest! Was I ever nervous!! This was our Toastmaster Club's Humorous Speech Contest. My speech was titled "My Love Affair with Coffee". I got a lot of positive feedback and the...

Morning coffee: Starbucks Grande Bold ++ I woke up today at 4:15 a.m. by accident. I woke up with a sore throat, so instead of falling back asleep, I went to the kitchen and drank some water. Hey, why not boil some water and gargle some salt water? There was some congee sitting on the stove, so I was heating that up too. It wasn't even 5 a.m. yet! At 5 a.m., I began my workout routine. Today is Foundation work (F7) from the gymnasticbodies program. I'm still on the first progressions, but almost done! I've been a bit slack on my handstand work due to a wrist injury, but I'm getting back into the swing of things. In fact, I was practicing some handstands the past couple days and my wrists were feeling better! Before you think handstands are a "cure-all", note that I gave it plenty of rest and had a few sessions of physio from my dad's magical hands. ++ Art of Manliness video, Take Pride in Your Pregame by Leveling Up Your Morning Routine ++ ...
