Well it was bound to happen. And it will happen again. Actually, by my count over the next two months there will be a half dozen times that I will be able to say that was my longest run ever. I have now conquered 14 miles, just a tad over the benchmark of a half marathon, but mentally it felt really good to achieve a new level.
Saturday morning was perfect for a little jog. Read the rest of this entry

Somewhat lost in all the baby excitement the last two weeks, was the news that I “won” the lottery for the NYC Marathon. On November 2nd, me and 50,000 of my closest friends will be stomping our way through the five boroughs. I am excited. Nervous, but excited. It’s amazing how quickly you can lose what […]

Relax. This is most definitely not a post about Star Wars (sorry Tommy). It’s actually about my new toy, gadget, device, thingamajig, activity tracker – yeah, that’s it… my activity tracker. I will be the first one to admit that this is not something everyone “needs” to go out and buy. It’s not necessary. But for me, it […]

Well I would call the first week on the program a success, with the exception of one thing… The Dreaded Scale. I was able to get in 4 runs this week, just missing on my goal of 5. However, my eating regiment was pretty spot on. I went over my alloted calories a few days, […]

I’ve spent the last 2 weeks trying to hone in on what helped create the success I had last year when I was able to shed 75 lbs. Even though it was approximately 2 years ago when I started, it seems like a decade. I remember the feeling I had when I set a goal – and reached it. It […]

Over the last several years I have really grown to hate people that lie. I’m not sure exactly why, although it likely has something to do with the 25+ employees I manage who consistently lie on a daily basis. Who then try to cover up their lies with more lies, but yet I am suppose to continue […]

Stop me if you’ve heard this before. I’M BACK. Not so much blogging, but back and focused on weight loss. I discovered it’s not the weight loss that is the hard part (yes, it is a grind). But it’s the maintaining that takes the real work, or should I say real discipline. I honestly believed […]

Well I finally found a way to stop the insanity. Bad habits were taking over. Like the one where I don’t take the time to bring anything for breakfast, so I just stop at McDonald’s or Burger King on my way to work. There were several days when I even double dipped and had fast […]

My dog is big. When we adopted him, he was a measly 35 pounds at 5 months. I expected him to grow as an adult to approximately double that. When people say how big Matthew is getting… It’s a nice compliment about how much he is growing – starting to look like a little boy, […]

It’s hard to stay motivated, at least for me it is. Some people just have it in their DNA. Perhaps I could break it down to the simplest of things. Every morning when the alarm goes off, I have to hit snooze (more than once). On the other hand, or in this case, the other side of […]
