Anyone who knows me, or has followed this blog, knows I’ve always struggled with weight and being fit. It’s been a constant battle where sometimes I do well, even for long periods of time, but then something sets me back and I go back into my old habits. Back in April 2025 I was inContinue reading “Goals to hit, back to the car”

First half marathon
Since my last post I’ve continued on my training for the half marathon though I hit a couple of set backs. The first set back was our family summer vacation not long after that post. We went to North Carolina but stopped into Maine and upstate New York for a while on the way. IContinue reading “First half marathon”
Half marathon training
For a while, off and on, I’ve had it in the back of my mind that I would like to run a half marathon. Each time I get back into running and get a good routine going I figure I should work on going longer. I’ve run in a few races over the years, butContinue reading “Half marathon training”
Break a cycle
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”
Biking the Harvest Moon Trail
Since I started trying to get back into biking a few years back I had thought it would be cool to bike the whole Harvest Moon trail. Its an old railbed that’s been converted to a trail going between Grand Pre and Annapolis Royal here in the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia. It’s 110 kmContinue reading “Biking the Harvest Moon Trail”
Cape Split
Today was the first day of my Sabbatical from work. Three months were a all my typical excuses are no longer valid. I have the time and ability to do a bunch of things I’ve been putting off. I started today with one thing I’ve been putting off for a long time. Not really intentionally,Continue reading “Cape Split”
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”
Meds Reminder
With my last post I talked about having to take eye drops every hour when I’m awake and then an ointment for while I’m asleep. I thought it would be hard remember to put them in and keep track if I had done it for this hour yet or not so I wanted to setContinue reading “Meds Reminder”
Eye have had a tough week
For over a week now I’ve been suffering with an eye infection. Just before last weekend my right eye started itching and I could tell something wasn’t right. From there over the weekend it continued to get worse swollen and red. I’ve had eye infections a few times over the years and usually over theContinue reading “Eye have had a tough week”
