Make Time...

Happy Saturday readers. Another week has come and gone, and it was a SCORCHER! It's been hotter than Satan's asscrack! I hope you all had a nice Independence Day. It's strange when a holiday falls in the middle of the week. It makes you feel like the weekend came too early...and then you have to go back to work. BLAH! Anyway, I had a productive week. I only worked Monday and Tuesday this week. And, sadly, Tuesday was the last day my workplace gym was open for the next TWO weeks. Some renovations are scheduled, and it will not open back up until July 23. I am really going to miss it, and when I first heard about the closing, I was quite apprehensive. I've been doing so well, and my workouts have become a vital part of my day. What would I do? Luckily, the other work campus also has a gym less than 5 miles away from my location. At first, I thought I'd be able to "hotel" at the other campus so...

It Was Only a Matter of Time...

Well, another week down. It was somethin' else. Things seemed to be moving along great. Last week I was firing on all cylinders. It was the last week that my gym would be closed for renovations, so I was looking forward to getting back to my regular schedule. Kettlebells and I were getting along great. I remember wondering where D.T. was. He hadn't showed up for quite some time. I felt a bit smug. Perhaps, I had him beat. Yeah...right. D.T. and his damn cousin Murphy came back for a visit. They showed up every single day. Little BASTARDS! On Monday, D.T. tried to convince me to step off the elliptical after 45 minutes. I was so tired, so why don't I just check out early. And, I thought about it too. I mean 45 minutes is a substantial workout, right? What's another 15 minutes? I decided to stay on and back off on my intensity. I was able to finish my hour and cool down. So...

Six Months In...

Hey readers! It was one hell of a week let me tell you. It was challenging, but I muddled through. I also felt inspired because I knew I was completing my 26th week. Six months into my new life... I never thought I'd be where I am right now. I'm on the cusp of entering the Century Club. I've lost 87.2 pounds in 6 months. It's still hard for me to put my mind around that, especially since I was able to do it without any serious restrictions. I'm still eating carbs. I'm still eating fats. I'm still eating protein. If there is one thing that I've learned so far is that a diet that restricts either of those three items won't work for me. I needed to learn how to eat and make tradeoffs. I was able to lose this weight eating an occasional cheeseburger and piece of dessert or candy. I'm much happier for it. When I see myself in the mirror, it's still a bit surreal. I guess because it happene...
