Walking in the Weighted Vest

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00570

I’ve been walking each morning with Allison and I have been enjoying the walk but wanted to give myself a new challenge. I have a goal to lose 30 pounds. This will certainly take some time but to remind me of how much weight that actually is I bought a 30 pound weighted vest to wear while I walk and eventually wear while doing other things like planks and push ups. Some other reasons that I’ll be wearing this vest is so that when I actually have to do push ups and planks for Krav Maga I will have done them with more weight than I have myself. This, in theory should make it easier to perform these exercises without the vest.

My daily walks have been helping out a bit because today after Krav Maga class I ran with one of my friends. I was able to run the whole way around the block without stopping. Next step is to do the block twice and then build up my speed. May have to run with the vest, too.

Review: Lumibricks Izakaya Building ...

The folks from Lumibricks sent me their latest building set, the Izakaya for free to build and review. Opinions are 100% my own. I've built a few sets from Lumibricks (formerly FunWhole) in the past and they are really fun and interesting. The photo above is of the Izakaya and also The Apartment. they are both part of a Cyberpunk theme called Neoncity. At this time there are also two additional buildings that you can build and add to this whole theme, the Game Stack and the Floating Train Station. The great things about these sets is that they light up. As you build you are also adding lights and wires and ways to illuminate the amazing build. Once you're done building you fire up some power and the lights blaze up. With Neoncity sets you get some incredible Nenon effects light signs and even neon tube lights. That is one of the coolest things about these sets is how the lights are incorporated into the build. Some very innovative bricks were made in order to thread the wiring...

Christmas Tree Is Up ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02510 Yesterday we put up the trees and today we decided to decorate the tree after dinner. Our tree is now mostly our family photo ornaments. We have a bunch of ornaments but with over 20 years of family photo ornaments it look like the predominant ornament type that we'll see. We did get a 2025 Hallmark one as well and I have to select this year's photo. 

2025 Family Ornament ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02515 We put our tree up the other day and I had already bought the 2025 Hallmark Keepsake ornament for our yearly family photo ornament. I love these ornaments on the tree. We have them from 2005 to now.
