Weigh in tomorrow. I'm looking forward to this one. I've had a good week, back pain be damned. I've done my workouts, with a huge thank you to Rob from @trainersonsite the modified workouts allowed me to keep this body moving.
I've been good with food, the back is feeling a bit better, all signs point to a good morning.
No Spotlight last week with the holiday, but today it's spotlight #2
I first met JB about 10 years ago at my office. As long as I have known him he has been fit. How fit you ask? This is a guy who runs duathlons, which is like a triathlon for non-swimmers. When we would travel for work together he would wake up in the morning, very early, and run 5k or so to get his day started. Then he'd be back on the treadmill or elliptical before dinner. I'd get my workout raising a glass to my lips.
As I said, fit. But it doesn't stop at just being fit. A little over a year ago he decided to focus on his fitness even more. The results are incredible. He's down another 30lbs. I would never have guessed he could lose 30lbs, but he has. He looks incredible.
How is he doing this? Well, he's watching his diet, even more carefully than he used to. He runs frequently, then for a second workout it is almost daily bike rides with his teenage son (another fitness buff) through the hills around their home, or if the weather is no good for riding, they are doing the "Insanity" workout DVDs. On the weekends its 80-100km of road biking.
What makes this even more impressive is JB commutes from Guelph to Toronto everyday. This is a guy in his forties, in the car for a long drive home, and instead of collapsing in front of the TV and eating something packaged, has a healthy meal and then works out twice!
As if this isn't enough on it's own, JB has more personal integrity than any one I have ever known. He genuinely cares about the plights of his friends and co-workers, you will never meet a better listener, or confidant. He also gives back to his community, having been a hockey referee for over 20 years
We could all stand to be more like JB, not just for his healthy living, but for his strength of character. I would love to live in a world populated by people displaying his caring, dedication, and commitment.
So thanks JB, I'm motivated to be more like you in every way!
