Day 644. 237 lbs lost (as of Sep 14). So I’m a bit late on my follow up to my last post. I’ve been in deep thought this week. Coming down off the high of my California trip took a few days. Life has returned to normal but as always with time to reflect there […]

Day 641. 237 lbs lost (as of Sep 14). I realized I hadn’t written in this thing for a month, but I also noticed something else today. 641 days. It doesn’t seem like that long ago! I remember when I started and it honestly feels like a few weeks ago.  Forgive me for not writing, […]

Day 582. 215 lbs lost (as of July 14) When I started this blog, it was merely a place where I could hold myself accountable. I had no particular goals for my audience; I had no goals as far as where I wanted to take it. It was just a place where I could go […]

Day 581. 215 pounds lost (as of July 14th). About a month ago I agreed not to weigh myself for a month and focus on The Zone. It came as advice from someone I trust very much, and it has proven to be a healthy decision for me. I wouldn’t say I had an unhealthy […]

Day 560. 214 pounds lost. I’ve talked about the condition on my right leg a few times; I have Blount’s disease. Its a growth disorder of the tibia (shin bone) that causes the lower leg to angle inward, resembling a bowleg. It started developing when I was about seven years old. I bring this up […]

Day 547. 212.5 pounds lost. Attending the CrossFit Level One course was an exciting but humbling experience in more ways than I can count.

Day 545. 213.5 pounds lost. Did I ever say I had my nutrition “on lock”? Yes…. Yes, I did. I mentioned this during my interview on the CrossFit Podcast. I genuinely thought I had.  After all, I had been eating all the right things for over 15 months, I knew precisely what foods to be […]

Day 535. 212.5 pounds lost. I’ve had tough workouts before, but none that challenged me quite like the one I had last Friday. The assignment was to push this big metal sled across concrete for ½ mile. It didn’t seem so bad when I started but as I attempted the simple task of getting this […]

Day 526. 211.5 pounds lost. Once again, the love today has just been tremendous. To all of you sending messages and emails I get them, I see them, and I love them. Anytime I start getting similar questions, it becomes a queue that I might need to address it. A ubiquitous but understandable question has […]

Day 525. 211 pounds lost. I am officially enjoying my first couple days of being free from the golden handcuffs. Let’s be clear about one thing though; it’s different if you are working someplace you enjoy. This was not the case for me. The weight is finally moving South again after a slow couple of […]
