Well, I slept well from 10:40p to 3:40a - ugh. Not enough hours of sleep. I have a headache. I'll admit that this lack of sleep is likely due to starting an exciting project about a week ago and not wanting to stop until it's complete. It's been an almost 30 year dream and it's …

Yesterday went by extremely slowly. I think that was because the tasks I was working on were taking hours at a time to run and I couldn't leave my desk while they were running. I had some heartburn yesterday so I countered with a couple snow peas. I drank a lot of water. I'm down …

Yesterday wasn't as rough as I thought it would be. I read a lot of articles on fasting and they made it sound like I was going to die the first 24 hours. If I hadn't been used to fasting for years I probably would have. By fasting, I mean that I used to only …

I'm going back to daily logging. I use myfitnesspal to log my food and workouts, but I have no accountability so if i don't workout then i have nothing out there that holds me to keeping on track.I have grown tired of the constant back and forth with myself. I've been keeping regular track of …

It has been such a crazy ride. 70 weeks and virtually no progress... and that's just what I've posted about. In reality this struggle has been going on since Dec 2008 (416 weeks)... and that's too long. I still haven't figured out how to get past the feelings of unworthiness that I believe hold me …

Here it is. Time for my workout logs to come out regularly. I was reading some articles on something related (it's early still) and figured out what I was doing wrong with my workouts. I don't know why it hadn't occurred to me sooner, it only made sense. I was increasing my reps but not …
Climbing Wall Instructions
First the disclaimer: I am only sharing how I built this wall. You are responsible for you and yours I am not. Don't be stupid. There is also a TLDR; at the bottom. This is the biggest project I've ever built. To-date, this makes only one of three projects I've ever built. I studied a …

Some days it doesn't seem like I've been at this so long... other days it seems like forever. Week 52... that means I started actively tracking my progress a year ago.So where am I today? I'm smaller. I don't weigh much different. I'm not quite as active as I was. When you skip one day …

Been a bit "off" for the past 6 weeks. I have gained about 4-10 pounds back depending on the day. I've been eating crappy. It's time to get back into the workouts.From now until July 1st, I'll be working out for an hour on strength and an hour riding a bike. Now, that means that …

I haven't been publishing blog posts weekly for a few weeks. I have been very busy with work, school, and family and I just forget... and I'm the only one who probably reads these so they're really just for me right now.I've still been dropping in size but not weight. I am down to a …
