Well Friday was a fun day with some pickle ball in the morning and then some honey-do jobs and I got in some reading as well. We had a large lunch crowd and then I opened the windows as the cool morning quickly turned to bright sunshine and a warm breeze. A beautiful winter day in Florida.
The day started with my usual 6'ish roll out and then a few quiet moments with my Creator and daily discipline for personal growth. I will say one promising thing about this daily exercise is that it's giving me some support for the decision to lose 10 pounds or more and rid myself of this spare tire. I like how it challenges you with common sense solutions that we sometime take for granted and of course that is with most all decisions in life. I think we need to be reminded at times of these decisions we need to make regarding our goals and how to achieve them. After the posting of this ramble I grabbed a Fuji apple for my breakfast and then got ready to ride out to the Rec on my bike for an hour and a half of pickle ball play.
There were three courts in action and I pretty much stayed on the court the whole time I was there as the winners split and then got new partners. I had a good workout but still didn't overdo it while limiting myself to this time frame. I think next week I will go every day but limit the time to just an hour or so. I stopped off at the library to pick up a new read titled 90 CHURCH that I had on order. It'a a true read about a notorious narcotics squad in New York and an autobiography about a young man who wanted to help clean up the streets of the drug trade in the country. If your squeamish it's not a read for you but if your into double dealing and even murder to accomplish your goal you will find this book exhilarating and at times gut wrenching. The title of the book is the street where these agents had a headquarter. At times they worked with other agencies like the local police and the FBI but they were mainly a rogue bunch with some rogue agents who even infiltrated the mafia. Their main object was to take the drugs off the street whether by hook or less than honorable means.
Well I grilled Salmon for supper loaded with spices and fresh dill along with a garden salad and fresh green beans. I've dropped several pounds and while that number fluctuates daily the number is dropping down from the 191 mark. I've cut out a lot and I'm eating less portions as well. The added exercise seems to help but I miss my daily glass of red vino which is probably the main reason I would have second portions. It's definitely a stimulater for the appetite.
Well we settled into the FOX News cable network after the cleanup for our real info on whats happening on the world scene. This next election will probably we the most significant in many years as it will decide whether we become a nation of socialist or go back to the tenets of capitalism. Europe tried the socialist method and it failed completely as it breeds contempt for those who work hard and do well and laziness to those who want the government to care for them while taking away from those who succeed. I really don't see any difference between a socialist and a democrat and their party leader couldn't explain the difference when asked the other day. This potus has ruined the land with his executive orders while subverting our constitution which granted rights to all the people, but we have those who in the media who are influenced by less than honorable billionaires like George Soros who want to see America destroyed so they and their sycophants can dictate anything but the Judeo-Christian values. The horrific shooting by a radical terrorist of an officer in Philly is jut another example of how this administration has played down the threat of the radical muslims influence in the nation. I only hope we can survive this next 12 months with this incompetent man in the white house as commander in chief and as one who has helped to cause so much unrest. The country is in a mess and only with some provincial help will we survive as a nation undivided, LATER
