Well, this week marked a big change, hopefully for the better…In an ADHD-fueled mania, I decided to try out an Apple Watch on a Strength Training workout and as of today have chosen to continue and sort of retire my sad old Garmin. Storytime kids. I am a technology and fitness enthusiast. So where those…

More of the same this week. Was pretty good with tracking meals and working out. Did pretty well drinking less. But then life had other things in mind. We had some good news and some highly stressful moments this week that caused us to both want to celebrate and also kick back. So naturally, one…

This week is in the books. Not much happened in the way of my road to recovery. Went for a run last Saturday afternoon and was happy with how it went. Then I started coughing….and kept coughing. Thought, “Oh, wow – that run must’ve taxed my lungs”. Then Sunday comes and my crappy old Garmin…

So here we are, starting over again. One. More. Time. It’s been months since I last showed up here and a lot has changed. I have to say, it was kind of nice to go back and read the other posts where I spoke of the struggles with my father and his health. Unfortunately, he…

Week 2 started strong but has ultimately proven to be quite challenging. Early in the week I decided to shift my focus to cardio and started a new training plan in Garmin with the goal of running a personal record pace half marathon in April. I shifted workouts due to some violent storms and maintained…

Well week 1 has come and gone again. What went right: Diet was pretty much in check, I tracked calories for most days, and I am incredibly motivated. What didn’t: Not much really. It was another stress filled week but for the most part I handled it in stride. Useful tools: This week I dove…

Unfortunately, life continued to get in the way and I struggled to get any sort of rhythm going. As a result, my weight loss journey was totally and completely abandoned. That will soon all change. With the dawn of a new year upon us – I will use this as a jumping-off point and restart…

Weight lost: +/- 2lbs This has been a rough two weeks for the weight loss plan. 10 days of Covid kind of whooped up on me. Then within days of recovering, I had a little accident at home that left me bruised, bloodied, and rolling headaches for a few days. I am now 18 days…
