This is my new series about fitness. I am certainly no expert. Posts will be about what’s working for me. There will definitely be running plans, flexibility, and basic weight lifting. You can also expect nutrition ideas, recipes, and, well, probably lots maybe a little bit of whining. 😉 I hope I have the courage to tell you about the failures.
If you’d like to read the premise for all of this, take a look at these previous posts.

Positive Snowball
Today, I’m sharing positivity from my co-worker, Jay Stewart. He is such a good person and a great dad. He challenged himself to do push ups every day for a month. He began with 40 push ups. His goal is to add 1 push up each day. Jay posts videos each day on FB of himself completing that day’s challenge. It has been such an inspiration for me!
Here’s Jay:
Day 9 push-up challenge: 49. 25 push-ups.
“There’s an evil voice lying to your soul saying you CAN’T do great things.”
That’s a line from our Pastor at this mornings service and I couldn’t wait to share it!
I want you all to know, this whole idea spawned from my wife’s coworker, Brian. He’s been doing push-ups for a while the way I am, and he’s up to high 70’s if not 80 by now.
I love that last sentence. Let’s be a positive snowball! Being close to someone like Jay definitely helps me with my challenge of getting fit!
