Seems like a common thread for my life and writing here, periods of being good about my health and fitness followed by periods of sliding backwards. In August I was back up to 250lbs and not in a great spot. Since then I’ve been doing fairly well with eating well and exercising. But I’ve hadContinue reading “Break a cycle”

Beautiful views & eye opening realizations
A couple of my good friends are celebrating birthdays this month. As part of that they wanted to hike Cape Split as a group. Despite living here for a long time, and it being a well known trail I’ve only been out to the point twice before, the first time was just over a yearContinue reading “Beautiful views & eye opening realizations”
A month of running
We’ve reached the end of 2020 and also the end of December which was the month long virtual 5k wwwp5k. When I first decided to challenge myself to do not just one 5k during the month but try to run a 5k every day I wasn’t really sure I was going to make it. EvenContinue reading “A month of running”

The weather hasn’t been the best but I’ve gotten out on a couple good rides. I can’t wait to ride a bunch more. After a few recommendations I also purchasedContinue reading “Isolation Fitness”

I’ve just started reading Atomic Habits by James Clear and I’m not far in but I’m already seeing benefits and advice I can take. One ofContinue reading “Building Habits”
Fitness Roller Coaster
Fitness, or lack there of, has been a reoccurring topic on this blog and my life. Like many people who struggle with weight things have been a roller coaster. A few years back I thought I had finally broken that and had built all the good habits I needed to stay fit and healthy, butContinue reading “Fitness Roller Coaster”
Stupidity and Laziness
Back in August 2014 I had reached a big milestone after a lot of hard work. I was so proud of myself and swore I would never go back. At that time I reached my goal weight of under 180lbs after months of hard work and dedication. Things went up and down from there butContinue reading “Stupidity and Laziness”
