The day was spent running errands and meeting with the mayor of Stuttgart
7:00 a.m. CST – First thing in the morning, Dora went to Wal-Mart to exchange the printer.
10:00 a.m. CST – Since we had a little free time, we decided to get the oil changed and to wash the van and the trailer. Again, I had the privilege to meet an extraordinary citizen that overwhelmed me with their support of the Tour. After having a casual conversation with a woman who was also getting her oil changed, she gave the Tour a donation and told us that we had truly inspired her. I told her that I appreciate the gift, but that it was the support of individuals like her that made the Tour possible and gave me the encouragement I need to continue. I know she will spread the word and the Revolution will roll on and on!
1:30 p.m. CST – I met with Mayor Harry “Butch” Richenback of Stuttgart, AR. We left him with a plaque and a copy of my book. He gave us some great souvenirs from the city. As usual, I discussed all of the points from the Tour with him. It was a great meeting.
3:00 p.m. CST – We spent the rest of the afternoon and evening catching up on some errands and paperwork. Andy and I tried again to get a good email connection, but we could not secure one long enough to email anything. However, I was able to search for online articles about the Tour. I saved them to a file. Every time I read the articles about the Tour, I am so impressed at how well written they are. Everyone understands what I am trying to accomplish and their writing is very supportive of my mission. I only hope my book “Revolutions” about the tour is as well received. With my book I hope to keep the excitement about getting in shape going and continue to educate people on the importance of physical fitness, good nutrition and making wise life choices. Because really, in the grand scheme of things it’s a lot easier to turn away from that big piece of pie than it is to lose the weight you gain from poor eating habits. Of course you can have treats from time to time. What’s life without a little pecan pie or chocolate cake? You just can’t make those sorts of foods regular dietary choices. Plus, you must get active. Keep your heart healthy through proper nutrition and a good dose of rigorous exercise. Your heart is a muscle and it’s one you really need to keep strong! If you’re out of shape start slow. Maybe a walk around the block. Before you know it you will be doing more, getting more fit and you work-outs will become more intense.
10 p.m. CST – After finally catching up on all of our work, we were able to go to bed.
