The last week has witnessed an intriguing phenomenon. As all of you who know me already know, I am quite O.C.D. about recording details and information. So as I looked over the numbers this morning, something hit me. Six of the last seven days I’ve either remained the same weight OR gained weight (between .2 [...]

I’m adding this exercise to Tuesday’s workout- which I am repeating today. Wish me luck since this workout nearly killed me three days ago.

The last two days have involved some fairly intense but simple exercise routines. To be honest they are only intense because I allowed myself to get out of shape. Yesterday I had the house all to myself, so I cranked up the Itunes and fit in an indoor workout for a change. Heavy Bag Dead [...]

May 25th: This was my first day of getting back to physical training, and my last day of undisciplined eating. The day started with a 30 minute workout but closed with a triple scoop waffle cone. Resistance Training: performed as a circuit (one set of each exercise all the way through and then repeat). 1. [...]

Anyone can punch one of these things, but where is the fun in that? Well, okay, that can be fun. But isn’t it more fun to take something intended for one purpose and think up a dozen other good uses for it? If you’re me, then the answer is an emphatic yes. Allow me to [...]

One Summer, Three Book Lists, and Twenty-Five Pounds…

Sounds like an epic adventure, and it probably will be. Hopefully, before this summer is over, I will have dropped 25 pounds (ten that have resisted my best efforts and fifteen that crept back on) and read over 350 books. Thanks to budget cuts for state employees (which both my wife and I were effected [...]
Well the scale says 180.8- which is far better than I expected. My calendar today is pretty full, although I do plan on squeezing in a workout in about an hour. My one concern is that my daughter has some kind of cold/flu (with a fever), so I hope that brief post workout period where [...]
Back in the Game…

Well it’s been a long, busy, and sometimes depressing semester. I never stopped training (except for those two weeks I was sick as a dog), but I did stop managing how I ate. I will spare your eyes a current photo before the page break, but it ain’t pretty. To make matters worse I went [...]
