Are you going to have a cookout this weekend for the 4th of July? I know there’ll be one at my house, rain or shine. I hope the weather will behave however, because the kids will be crazy wanting to go in the pool. I’ve been watching the weather for the last few days and [...]

Summer is finally here. Did you lose weight like you said you would? I’m sure everyone has made that same promise of losing those pesky pounds in January that they gained over the holidays. Did you know the average weight gain over the holidays in only about one pound. Why do I feel like I [...]

George Carlin on aging! (Absolutely Brilliant) George Carlin’s Views on Aging Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we’re kids?

Would you hire a personal trainer (PT) if he/she were out of shape?  I know I wouldn’t.  I have a motto that I use: “I don’t take advice from anyone that’s in worse shape than I am.” The personal trainer I’m referring to actually works at the gym I belong to.  He’s actually a very [...]

You have nothing to lose (except some unwanted pounds). Then come follow me on Twitter, as this is [...]

This post has nothing to do with losing weight or any fitness for that matter. I’m actually just annoyed that I couldn’t backup my local drive and I’m just venting. You see, I purchased a Western Digital 500 gb external hard drive less than 2 years ago and have been backing up my computer since [...]

For the last couple of weeks, I haven’t been drinking as much coffee as usual on the way to my losing weight regimen. Every morning, I’d make a 20 ounce cup of coffee for my one hour drive to the gym. For the past few years, I’d drink all of it by the time I [...]

Wow!! It’s been a while since I posted to this blog.
