So I'm seeking to live a more healthy lifestyle but that's not the main thing that's on my mind. The main thing that's on my mind is loving the Lord my God by being a good steward of this body he's so graciously given me. May he be glorified in my quest for health and yours!

2. Exercise: During the outdoor cycling season in Minnesota, I will almost exclusively focus on the bike, but in the winter and again in the fall I will strength train at Anytime Fitness and cardio train on my indoor bike trainer, the treadmill, and the elliptical machine.
3. Support and Accountability: My wife, a couple good friends at church, and the SP community serve as my encouragers on this journey!

"Rather train yourself for godliness; for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come" (1Timothy�4:7-8) "Jesus answered, 'The most important [commandment] is, 'Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength'" (Mark 12:29-30).
