Fitness Journey – Week 96

March 2, 2020 It’s been 1 year, 10 months and 3 weeks since I made a commitment to myself to get back into shape. When working towards anything in life, you will always have your ups and downs. I have had some ups, but I would bet more downs if I was to tally them […]

Fitness Journey – Week 41

Wow, it’s been a while! Well, I’ve got a lot to catch you up on, but even more to reflect on. This is week 41 since I first started on this “Fitness Journey” (yeah, I counted). Now since it has been so long since I last wrote, I originally was thinking about “restarting” back to […]

Fitness Journey – Week 17

Hey everyone! So last week was a busy one and I didn’t write at all last week so if you are looking for week 16, your outta luck! I decided on Monday last week to take the week off of working out and the blog. I decided this, well because Monday I tried to workout […]

Fitness Journey – Week 15

So today marks the start of my 15th week of my fitness journey. This is a pretty big mile mark for me just because it represents a consistency that I simply haven’t done so in the past. Most of my life I have had a really hard time sticking with something for an extended period […]

Another start of my fitness journey! Week 14! Pretty crazy. It’s been a really fun journey so far. There has been ups and downs, successes and failures, but overall progress. That’s all that matters at the end of the day. All I need to see is that I am better now than I was 14 […]

Fitness Journey – Week 13

Well let me start off by saying thank goodness for cheat days! My wife just had her 27th birthday yesterday and we went to Olive Garden to celebrate. I was swimming in a sea of bread stick and alfredo ecstasy. Shortly after I was plummeting down into a food and carb induced coma, but hell […]

Chalk Talk #13 – Damn I suck

If you’re at all like me, you’ve caught yourself saying this to yourself all too often, “Damn, I suck”. I often struggle with the idea of perfection. I find myself diving into any project 100% with no room for error or interruptions. It’s this “all or nothing” attitude which in the past I have attributed […]

Fitness Journey – Week 12

Well folks, a week and a half of Hell Month left and I will be in the clear! It’s been a pretty cool experience so far, but a hard one. I have fell short in multiple ways, multiple times. I think one of my biggest struggles has been the fact that I have fallen short […]
