Well, I did it today--something I have at times never thought I would do again. If I were to be honest, there were also many other times that I missed this thing incredibly, a guilty thought to be sure. As a sheltered, insecure and very lonely kid, at nineteen I bloomed when I found a … Continue reading Medieval Fair & Magic Brownies
Day 50 – We Failed
It became apparent about five days ago that we would not have enough money to make ends meet and still have a good birthday for Aria. So I did what I needed to do and immediately went into emergency mode. I began sleeping a couple of hours, working until it became unsafe to work, then … Continue reading Day 50 – We Failed
Day 45 – To Buzz or Not to Buzz
I slept for about an hour last night, then got up and worked from midnight until six this morning. Six hours later I was up again. Our heater is out and it is freezing today--after a high yesterday of 69 degrees. Life in Oklahoma. This afternoon we spent time with the girls on their school … Continue reading Day 45 – To Buzz or Not to Buzz
Day 44 – Snake Guy & the Chicago Boyz
Another day down -- sort of. My day started at 4:45, paused at noon for lunch and a quick jaunt around the park, then a few hours editing 60 minutes worth of video down to what you see below (an awesome video, let me tell you!), then an evening of feeling fairly sick. Stacy isn't … Continue reading Day 44 – Snake Guy & the Chicago Boyz
Day 43 – A Three Ring Kind of Day
Hey guys, today was most certainly an unusual day. First off, though, I'd like to urge you to consider checking out our Patreon page and thinking about becoming a sponsor of the fitness journey. As I have written about and vlogged about numerous times, I got to the point where I was so very close … Continue reading Day 43 – A Three Ring Kind of Day
Episode 42 – Stupid Knee
https://youtu.be/2WCwoDq58lM I think I'm going to start labeling these blogs and videos "episodes" in an effort to make them seem a bit more interesting. Or something like that. By the way, the videos really do go with the blog and, in fact, are far superior, so go check them out. They often feature my kids, and my … Continue reading Episode 42 – Stupid Knee
Breaking 40 Days – Day 41
https://youtu.be/WdfINcsxf6g Today we officially broke forty -- days, that is. Breaking 40 for Life, for those who don't know, is based upon the theory that when you are doing almost anything in life, but in our case specifically physical exertion, there comes a point where your brain tells you to stop, that you've had … Continue reading Breaking 40 Days – Day 41
40 Day of Breaking 40!
https://youtu.be/E-DFgznzVts This is a day of biblical proportions! Forty days on our fitness journey! Today was...well, a day like any other day with a couple of exceptions. I woke up at 2:30 this morning and worked until I was too tired to continue driving, came home and took a nap, then had our usual lunch. … Continue reading 40 Day of Breaking 40!
Day 39
Yesterday was a 50th anniversary party for my wife's uncle, and though we made generally good choices we did decide to eat a piece of cake--the first bit of sugar in 38 days. Man that kicked off a chain of cravings that wracked both Stacy and I and our kids, and this is by far … Continue reading Day 39
Day 38 – Measuring Day
The hard work in this journey comes in the beginning. I have not blogged in four days, and while I oftentimes have little of value to add to the internet, I have set a goal of blogging daily in an effort to keep myself engaged in the quest to not only go from 400 … Continue reading Day 38 – Measuring Day
