Life had a bit of catching up to me this week, and I’ve wanted to be sure I keep active where possible and not allow other things (like “I have to do a blog entry tonight!”) as an excuse to reprioritize the now and sabotage the future.

Some examples of things that I got caught up in this week:

• Cub Scout Camp (Fri through Sunday) – Provided a huge opportunity to integrate activity with some awesome fun with my son.  I target a 4,000 calorie burn target each day, while also averaging about 6-7,000 steps daily.  On Saturday alone, I burned little over 5,200 calories and took 17,930 steps throughout the day.  This was primarily due to walking to everything on campus, and consistently volunteering to be the “go-to” guy for things
• Baseball Coaching – Got an opportunity this week to coach a game and spent about 2 hours at a high-energy level, running on and off the field, etc and helped burn enough calories that equated to a half-hour on the treadmill (and it was much more fun, to boot).
• Mowing the lawn – Sure, I sat on my duff (tractor) for most of it, but I opted to put off a whole lot more to do with the push mower and even more to the trimmer than I normally do.
