FitBlitzing Friday: 3.41 mile walk 👨🏻‍🦯

Today’s Pond Photo…

Wide angle photo of the small pond on my trail walk.

Hi Fitblitzers.

After reading some of your comments last night about my 50th birthday Florida trip i’m thinking about, i was thinking that maybe i could never do my walks each day and take photos like the one of the pond above if i lived in Florida. I thought that if it was Florida, then my pond photo above would have an American Alligator, American Black Bear, Diamondback Rattlesnake and maybe a Brown Recluse spider, as exciting as it maybe i’m wondering if Blindies like myself get eaten alive, torn apart or chased until i get tired and collapse as i simply can’t see them…Yes even a massive American Alligator, lol! 🤣 

This isn’t the only thing on my mind, lol, as i switch quickly to the Cuban sandwich i have to try and the omnifarious Floridian foods i need to try. 😋 I want to eat the food…Not be the food, lol! 🤣 But seriously me and my lovely Wife Sarah would love for Florida to be ‘The Blind Sightseers’ next holiday (and hopefully not the last) but it’s just at the dream stage at the moment waiting to move into reality. 🙏 

The Simon Skid Chicane audio beacon…

Sarah’s brother Simon’s Skid Chicane audio beacon

I need to go and take the photo above again, as i don’t think you can see the big S shape skid chicane the path takes. I’ll go out on Monday and take another one. I labelled this audio beacon after Sarah’s eldest brother Simon, he also had Scalextric (slot cars) as a kid and played on them for hours, and when i was out showing Sarah the part and what i was thinking of calling it, she remembered that her Mum had made Simon a skid chicane for his Scalextric…So i had to call it ‘The Simon Skid Chicane’. 😀 

Anyway enough rambling on, i hope you have had a blessed week and have a great weekend? 🙏 😀

Cod Fillet FitBlitzing Fitness Friday: Dumbbells & Kettlebells! 💪🏼

Hi Fitblitzers.

Not only do i walk and burn my legs into the ground as i’m sure i’m getting shorter, lol…But on Friday’s me and my lovely wife Sarah have huge Cod fillets and then get out the various dumbbells and kettlebells! 😨

When you get to my age, lol (49 in a week) you may have heard the word ‘Sarcopenia’ well i think Sarah is fed up of hearing it from me, i think i use it as an excuse to eat lots of protein e.g fish, steak, chicken breasts etc…Well a man has to try, lol! 🤣

Also i think it is important as i read “Sarcopenia is the age-related progressive loss of muscle mass and strength. The main symptom of the condition is muscle weakness. Sarcopenia is a type of muscle atrophy primarily caused by the natural aging process”.

With that said, i think i’m going for a chicken breast burger tomorrow as got to keep up the daily protein, lol! 💪🏼 😀

FitBlitzing Flapjack Friday: Figure of 8! 💪🏼

Hi Fitblitzers.

Yay, i’ve not only managed 5 out of 5 days again, but i finally completed my scalextric loop the loop figure of 8 lap which is 5 miles long! 💪🏼 I didn’t take a photo of the pond today as i didn’t walk along that part of my lap…But i did take a photo of the little bridge whilst i was out trying to put audio beacons on my last section. 😀

As you may know i always like to push my limits, and whilst i was out connecting my loops…I figured out i could make another loop to have 3 loops in 1 big lap! Now this would be cool but it requires some good eyes, lol! I got stuck in some deep mud today so i turned back around, but i was sure it was the way i needed for the 3rd loop. I’m going to go out there on Monday and try out the ‘Be My Eyes’ app for the first time and see if they can help me. I’ve never used this app before (so it’ll be my first time) but i’ve heard it’s fantastic for the blind. Have you ever heard of it? 🤔

Oh by the way…You may remember when i was doing my ultra trail marathon that i kept going on about the amazing chocolate flapjacks! It was the perfect fuel for my long walks but i had to stop getting them as the bakery closed…But now i’ve found the other bakery (same but not in my town) and it delivers to me!! 😋 So the motivational quote today is from my lovely Wife Sarah, and the quote she says to me all of the time to help motivate me as she knows how much i love the flapjacks! 💪🏼

If you don’t do at least a lap, you don’t get a flapjack! 😀
