It’s been coming for a while, but this was the first week where I didn’t do any evening workouts. My big change this week was I started actually keeping track of my eating.

Public Speaking
Like many, or most people public speaking is a bit of a phobia of mine. It’s not one that I can’t get over, but certainly not something I enjoy. It’s been quite a while since I’ve had to get up in front of people but that’s going to change soon. Over the past little bitContinue reading “Public Speaking”
Technology Woes
Most of the time technology and I get along really well. Much of my time is spent working with technology and helping others use it. That’s the way I like it, me being the one to figure something out and help someone else use it. When it goes the other way and technology doesn’t workContinue reading “Technology Woes”

This week however I gave in many more times on my eating and snacking. ThenContinue reading “Week Five Summary”
Noah’s Birthday Party

Happy Birthday Noah
Today is the first of three of my kids birthdays that fall in September. Noah, my youngest, turns six today! He’ll have his actual birthday party with friends this weekend, but there is only a half day of school today so he’ll also have lots of friends here after school to celebrate and have cakeContinue reading “Happy Birthday Noah”
