I’ve been on a very recent kick to try and get healthier. I’ve always been a bigger guy (as in muscle, not fat) but I found that I had let myself go a bit and turned into a bigger guy (as in fat, not muscle). I came to this realization in a very unmanly sort [...]
After I gave birth to my twins, I didn’t really care what I looked like. I had something that was much more important to tend to, actually two more things that were more important than myself. I would forget to eat, I would eat all day and only the quickest, easiest things around. Months passed, and I [...]
Re-entry is tough.
I often have a hard time with coming back from retreat to the circumstances of mail, making the bed, litter boxes, the expectations of other people. When my retreat time has come to an end in the past I have felt any combo of sad, anxious, conflicted, and tight. Alas, this time is no [...]
Today was a train wreck for me. In the sense of eating healthy and working out that is. The day itself was GREAT.
I slept in until after noon. So I missed my first like 3 meals of the day. I then met up with an old friend from high school and had lunch at Panera. [...]

Sculpt 1-2
I don’t know what it was tonight but I blew through my resistance workout. I did 15 reps of everything, all the push-ups (off the wall), and all the chair dips (off my bed in the sitting position) in less time than the [...]

That’s Me,The Vegetarian!
If you checked out the narrative, then you know that I’ve been a vegetarian for about 18 years. Recently a friend asked me, how could he become a vegetarian? He has thought about being a vegetarian for a while but never knew how exactly to do it. Why do you think that is? According [...]
The Madonna del Ghisallo (patron saint of cyclists) medallions arrived in the mail this week! I attached them to the stem on my bike and the seatpost on Carrick’s bike. Thanks to Greg at Greg’s Soapbox for the tips and pointers. So now we’re set. May the force be with us.
On the stem of my bike.

I started the Real Age Diet on Monday. I am not supposed to weigh in until Monday. (I totally cheated) I will say that I know it is working. I hope it is doing as much for my cholesterol numbers as it is for the numbers on the scale. I have struggled a bit [...]
