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 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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Amelia is well, a crazy person. She has dominated the sport of obstacle racing events. Things like World’s Toughest […]

Workout Wednesday #11

So today will be the last “Workout Wednesday” post. I want to keep you all interested in the things I have to say and not be too repetitive in the material that I am presenting to you. So from now on I will be doing my Monday weekly check up and weigh in and just […]

Workout Wednesday #10

Well after a really terrible workout last Friday, I am back on track so far this week. I can’t stress enough how nice it is to have good workouts. A bad workout is just no good for anyone. Though I will admit that the two days in a row of juicing is kinda killing me. […]

Fitness Journey – Week 10

So today comes the end of the first week of Hell Month and the start of the second. For the first week, I would say I did pretty well. I did make two adjustments to my attack though. First, I upped my daily calories from 1350, to 1550. The two hundred extra calories really helped […]

Fitness Journey – Week 6

So for the first time since I have started this fitness journey, I came up short today. Last night my little 5 month old daughter wasn’t feeling well. She has early stages of croup, no fun. Because she wasn’t feeling well and at the time we weren’t sure what was wrong, the wife and I […]

Chalk Talk #6 – Resloutions

The new year is fast approaching and we will soon be faced with our “New years resolution”. The fresh start of a year always seems like an opportunity to start something over or start a new habit. This opportunity is usually embraced by almost everybody going into the new year. The tough part that everyone […]
