Accepting Challenges

Published on September 28th, 2010 by

Thanks to Jack Sh*t, Gettin’ Fit and his 5k Challenge, I will be participating in a 5K on November 14th. I say participating and not running because I’m sure it will be a hybrid run-walk for me. I don’t run for exercise. I am more of a elliptical and weightlifting guy. When people ask me

Being One

Published on September 16th, 2010 by

Weight loss is a tough thing to conquer. If it was easy, none of these fly-by-night products would have infomercials. The term “magic pill” wouldn’t be used. Everyone would be at the weight they want to be at. Why is it so tough? Some people think that the mental part of losing weight is the

Getting Creative with Food

Published on September 10th, 2010 by

One Day Means Nothing

Published on September 8th, 2010 by

One Day actually means everything…if you’re talking about starting a diet “one day”. Or is you are saying “one day”, I’ll get to the gym. That “One Day” was one of the of the most important days of my life. The “one day” I decided to take my life back and lose weight; I’ll never

It Gets Easier Everyday

Published on September 3rd, 2010 by

I was mortified after my first week of eating healthy. How am I going to do this for the long term? Eating right is too hard. Tracking what I eat is tedious and time consuming. How am I going to succeed? After the second week, my feelings went from mortified to concerned. Am I going
