I’ve been politely questioned, rudely asked, and even teased about my weight. None of that really made a difference in terms of motivating me to get healthy, in fact, it may have had the opposite effect. My trainer is taking a different approach — a financial consequence. Liz and I have agreed. If we don’t come [...]

Sunday Stats – Back on Track!
I knew something good was happening when I put on what used to be my favorite pair of jeans, and there was so much room in the butt area, I looked like a badly-dressed senior citizen. To summarize: I had a good week. Take a look at my stats! It’s fun to see that I’m [...]
Sunday Stats = Revisiting Goals
I’m constantly looking for new ways to measure myself. I don’t mean this metaphorically- I actually get online and look at different charts, indices and calculators. I guess it goes back to my psychological need to “measure up” in some way. Any way you look at it, I’m not progressing as rapidly as I need [...]

Final Results of Cleanse!
Clean living is the cardinal principle in the lives of the world’s greatest athletes. Marshall “Major” Taylor I finally finished! The 9-day cleanse, that is. When I began the two pre-cleanse days, I was weighing in at 202.5 pounds. Two days later, I began the Isagenix 9-day program, and this is where this video recap [...]
Cleanse day two (boo hoo!)
Okay, people, let’s keep it real. I like food. I’m sure I’ve mentioned that multiple times, both in text and on video. I know you know that I know I’m an emotional eater. So, imagine this scenario. For two days, you aren’t eating, tasting, enjoying a meal. You are ingesting nutritious stuff, mind you, but [...]
Cleanse Day One and Fun in the Sun
Aloha! And a great big good morning to San Francisco, Austin, Washington D.C. and Raleigh! My first day using the Isagenix Cleanse for Life was bearable. I wasn’t as hungry as I thought I’d be… but boy, do I miss food. I like eating. I realized today that one of the consistent sources of satisfaction [...]
Friday's Workout
Hi there! The last time that I worked out was 4 days ago, and then, as you may recall, I was laid out with the flu. I was pretty out of it when I was working out, and I thought it strange that I didn’t have the strength or stamina that I usually do when [...]
Updated Eating Info
Hey, folks! No sooner had I written my blog about what I’m eating when I had a conversation with my trainer. On my workout days, we’re focusing on workouts. Guess what we’re dissecting when I’m not in the gym? You got it– what I’m eating. So, I know quite a bit about myself and my [...]
