End this August stuff and get on with September!

08/30/08 weigh 206.5 pounds, blood pressure is 131/80 heart rate is 40 bpm. Spend the afternoon at a wedding and reception, lovely bride and party, hulking grooms men, although the groom looked okay.

08/31/08 weigh 206.5 pounds, blood pressure is 160/88, heart rate 44 bpm. Jog for 371 calories, 45% fat ones, Heart rate average is 118 bpm, in Zone 33m27s, Exercised 37m59s, found four pennies when thinking good thoughts about Federal Medical Organization, my Mother and winning the Lottery. 2 1/2 Chin Ups then late for church.

Went to the range after to fire FASTER! one day late and still too slow, but the top two targets are from my 9mm, all on the paper at seven yards (21 feet) and all deadly only the ones on black count five points apiece.

The lower targets are with my Colt Model IV Series 70, Government Model, .45 APC, and you can see I do much better with the single action, although not perfection, I can claim more dead bodies. Sequence was five right target, reload, 5 left target, reload, 5 right target, reload, 5 left target. Higher scoring than the ones I turned in on the 30th, but that is okay, I only have myself to satisfy - no sponsors, accolades nor living enemies that I know about.

I went off to the rifle side of the range, checked my single shot .22 at the fifty yard line - high and centered - so I moved the target to the hundred yard line and I get the black, then I went and fired ten rounds of 30-06 with the Model 70, first time I have loaded five in the magazine, emptied it twice. Is the deer, bear, lion or skulking terrorist dead - yes, but I am not happy, I want tighter groups and that means I need to practice all the stuff I know but have forgotten to practice frequently. I am so not dangerous (enough for me anyway - best get to that practice stuff.

Can we do everything in just one day?

I had plans today to become a better me, so I got up early, took my medicines, weighed and measured, had devotions, breakfast and exercised and jogged and was prepared to get my wife to the YMCA and go shoot my pistol and rifle. A better plan would have been to exercise at the YMCA with my wife, have lunch and then go shoot in the afternoon. I wasn't perfect but I was closer than normal.

Weight 205.0 pounds, blood pressure 130/80 and heart rate was 37 bpm. I did 30 reps of the basic 3 exercises, Jogged for 340 calories, 50% fat, Heart rate average 114 bpm, in Zone 29m42s, Exercised 37m17s.

I ate pho for lunch and beef, peas and some rice for dinner. Strange, I have had two comments left on this blog, and I was only doing this for my record - it is boring.

Wife thinks I am getting a pot belly, best figure out where all my motivation and discipline went, it is sadly lacking. I must motivate and get off the electronic death cycle - do I need to check email that often?

Oh, I don't think so and I do think I can do better.
