Well today’s workout went fine…no easier but I think I am growing used to the pain! Felt pretty good by the time I got home but then I started feeling tired and sluggish the rest of the day. Did a support call for some folks in California and then met with a buddy for lunch.

How was your day?

Blessings

The Saints won the Superbowl…well deserved and a great game. Watched it over at the Warner house with some football appropriate snacks and yes…lots of water. After all, I do have a meeting with the Priest of Pain tomorrow.

Speaking of which…off to bed. Tomorrow is the first weigh in so we shall see how it goes. No expectations though since I’m only on workout number two.

Blessings

Well I am starting to get over the sinus/ear infection…but the pain from Friday’s workout is intense! Seriously…my right arm is actually swollen due to the muscle being inflamed. I can’t pick up my son…seriously!

I know this shall pass and there is more to come..but the end result is a healthier Cameron. And for that the pain is worth it. I want to be able to outrun my son through high school at least!

Well I woke up this morning with a throbbing ear and what felt like a sinus infection. Not willing to bail on day one I arrived at Baron’s as ready to workout as possible. One hour later I felt nauseas and light headed but I had survived day one.

Now, every muscle in my body hurts…bad. I did make it to the docs and got some antibiotics for the sinus and ear.

Tomorrow some boating and some Community Navigator work await me…good night all.

Not really…but I will feel like it. I have decided to take Baron up on his offer to put me through a personal bootcamp (hell) with Baron as my trainer. For 50 days Baron will take me to the brink of death in the name of better health in the future. In the interest of accountability I may even give you some numbers that I probably won’t actually want to share.

To staying away from the white light…

It has come to my attention that I do a miserable job keeping up on paperwork. How bad could I be at this you ask?

Well I technically have 3 jobs. So there are three sets of timesheets, various logs, and other misc. paperwork that each requires. Not to mention the emails and the phone calls which I am good at staying on top of.

I think I shall train Isaac to be my assistant and he will be in charge of all paperwork. So…if I say my son ate my timesheet…its probably true.

Well Isaac is sick. That means mom and dad don’t get to sleep and then we’ll probably end up getting sick. Ah the joys of parenthood…

Been a busy couple of weeks and even a little productive…

It appears I have fallen off the blogging bandwagon again…

We are doing really well but have been way busier than we can appreciate at times. How’s everything with you my loyal 3.5 readers?

Well…over the course of the last week I have been reflecting on 2009 and praying about 2010.

2009.

2009 for me was a year filled with very high highs and some pretty low lows. We began the year with Northwest Community Church making a go of things in the Birchwood Neighborhood. Then February was marked with the death of my Grandma, very hard as she was the Matriarch of our family. She had always been a constant in my life and I treasure the time we were able to spend together.

In March, my wife and I welcomed the birth of our little Isaac. While he gets less little every day he has been an absolute blessing.  He is so much fun!

April brought the closing of Northwest Community Church.  This was a terribly difficult experience for us…but God was with us through it all and the truth is, I have grown tremendously.  It is rare that we go through challenging times and get blessed with the vision for how God used that moment to grow you.

2010.

2010 promises to be, if nothing else, interesting.  Big changes are coming in our home church, Roosevelt Community Church, and we don’t yet know what that will look like…  Pastor Baron is leaving and after having what I call Moses Moments I decided to ask to be considered.  As of now there are three of us who have expressed interest and the process will probably last into March or so.

In the mean time, new opportunities have been presented by the Big Guy in terms of my ministry here in the Birchwood Neighborhood.  No matter what, it will be exciting.

As for New Years Resolutions, I’m not a big fan.  However, I would like 2010 to be a year of better health, more time for the family, and more time spent listening.

So…goodbye 2009…I’m off to bed.

From Isaac 6-9 Months

Well I fell off the blogging bandwagon for awhile…sorry folks. Kept it low key after the Community Toy Store and then our first Christmas with Isaac! It was great and we got to spend some time with lots of family. Isaac got massively overstimulated and took hours to get down for his naps…but it was all worth it.

How was your Christmas?
