A Better Me – Wk. 18

The last time I posted something in this series, I said I was going to cut back on posting weekly updates. I said I would start updating on my progress about once a month. Well… as it turns out, that's not going to work for me. [Read more...]

A Better Me – Wk. 13

There's really not much to report this week. In fact, it's all pretty boring really. I try to change it up a little bit here and there, and I try to be consistent. I have my good days. I have my bad days. But really, I just keep moving. So I think it's time I cut back on posting about my progress. Not because I'm getting nowhere and not because I'm throwing in the towel or anything like that. The truth is, I've run out of things to blog about when it comes to my progress and I'm bored to death about blogging on my progress.

A Better Me – Wk. 12 – My Daughter Is A Bad Influence

Talk about a slacker – that would be me. I'm really late in getting this post out, but I have good reason for it. My daughter was in town over the holiday and left only yesterday. So what does that mean as far as my progress? Well! Let me tell you, Lauren was a horrible influence on my the entire time she was here. I pigged out on food I really had no business touching… like fettuccine chicken with alfredo sauce – one of my weaknesses. [ still drooling ] [Read more...]

All That Muscle Swallowed His Brain [Edited and Revised]

[UPDATE/EDIT]

This was an experiment. An experiment in different writing styles for me. I'm still trying to find my style – whatever that means. This post in particular, was a lot of fun for me. I really liked the idea of leaving it up to you – the reader – to figure out what happened. The comments left behind were so different from one another. Now, I'm going to edit the hell out of this to let you know how I interpreted everything that went on. Let's see if your interpretation of what happened changes after you see the revisions. Revisions will be in bold and in red. Also, this updating/revising is an experiment for me. Let me know what you think. I believe this will help me later. [Read more...]

A Better Me – Wk. 11

I wouldn't say it was a bad week, but not the greatest week I've had either. I went on a little road trip – love road trips. I spent most of the week out of town or on the road. I'm surprised I didn't gain any weight this past week. While I met my calorie-burning goal this week, I still missed two gym days because I was out of town. I could've gone to my old gym, but it just never happened. There was just too much shopping to do and not enough time. But the week wasn't a total flunk. I found some awesome fitting jeans at Old Navy… and they were a size smaller! Whaaaaa?! Yep. In fact, everything I bought was a size smaller than my normal size. This is a very, very good thing. Yayee!! [Read more...]
