Check: August 17 2025

Today I chopped down a tree. Ok, that sounds more impressive than it actually was. It was a small tree. The picture above is after we bundled it up. It was mostly small limbs but the bigger pieces were about 3 inches (8cm) thick. It doesn't sound like a lot, but it is when you only have a knife to cut it down with. I got it done though.

I also finished cleaning up the basement some more. Now that I have a good workout room, I need someone to motivate me to use it 🤣. Maybe I can get down there tomorrow.

I switched back to Fitbit today. For some reason, actifit didn't start until about 11am today. I like the app better though. I'm trying to ween off of Fitbit. Ever since Google bought them, they're going downhill.

I finished the day with over 10000 steps and over 190 active minutes. I can feel it too. My feet are tired. I also had 11 flights of stairs today. Between cleaning up in the basement, smoking some babyback ribs and doing yardwork. I stayed pretty busy today.

"Man up! Check. Chest out! Check. Chin up! Check. Dicipline! Check. Listenin!"

Continuing with the theme: Each night I post the song that was playing as I ended the workout and use that as the title for the post for that day. The song for today is one I've never heard before, Check by Mike Will, Nas, and Rick Ross. It's sort of an anthem type song and it has a real catchy hook, which I relayed above. It was apparently from the movie Creed II, which makes sense as the anthem would play great in a stereotypical training montage and Creed is part of the Rocky franchise so a montage is almost obligatory. I might be pumping this tomorrow as I lift and do cardio.

Well, that's it for tonight. I'll catch up with y'all tomorrow.
