I am a retired police officer and pastor. I was a certified personal trainer for few years and a certified fitness nutrition specialist. Since leaving policing 10 years ago I have allowed myself to gain a little weight since then.
This will be a personal journey blog on how I regained my fitness and lost weight.
MY TOPIC OF FOCUS
Fitness, equipment, nutrition and spiritual development will be my main topics.
My assistant and training partner
Opy, pictured below, will be my assistant
A couple of days ago, I was out to supper with a friend. He writes articles about his faith and sends them to different people. I asked him who he sends them to. It turns out it was to his contacts, all who already are on board.
I asked him if he wanted to reach a wider audience and we got talking about starting a blog. Neither of us had a blog before I was giving him some suggestions about other people he could talk to who had blogs.
Starting the Blog
When I got home I realized I had built a website for the church and a blog and a website are very similar. As it happened, I was going to start a program to lose weight the next day (Sept 1st) so I thought I would start a fitness and nutritional blog to record my progress.
As I thought about the blog, I realized I could also talk about nutrition, exercise and spiritual matters. I had been a certified personal trainer, a certified sport nutrition specialist and a pastor so I was quite familiar with all these subjects.
This Personal Journey Blog will cover all these subjects as well as follow my journey to lose weight.
By the way, I am not a spring chicken. I am 70 years old and although possibly decrepit, I have a lot of experience.
