All Journeys Start the Same
Consistency succeeds where bursts of activity between long periods of bad habits does not.
So what do you do after a long week at work, with nothing planned for the day and more energy than you’ve felt in months? There’s a joke making the rounds on Pinterest. Something about “Who the hell runs five miles in thirty seconds?”
I tried to do five days of 1300 (ish) calories, but I know that light-headed feeling. I mentioned it in my morning update, and Michael pointed out that I should be in the 1600-1800 calorie range. I ended up around 1800 today. This was the first official “do two T25 workouts” day, but because I’d moved […]
Not a lot to say about Thursday. Woke up, ate what I said I was going to, did two T25 workouts in the pool. It was becoming apparent that 1300 calories wasn’t a whole lot for a 450 pound man, but I managed. As this was part of the Beach Body Challenge, I had been […]
Day 3: slept like a rock again. All that Shakeology energy just needed an outlet, and Focus T25 fit the bill. My eating patterns held. Under 1400 calories, fit in the Shakeology, I ignored the now-weeping pastry chef downstairs who had relied on my sweet tooth to put his kids through private school.

Looking like Will Smith, talking like someone you can only put up with at 3am when the infomercial blares at you after you’ve caught up with everything on the DVR. Leaping and jumping and skipping and punching and generally acting […]
[Note: links provided for information. I’m not selling anything. I’m a reviewer/tester by nature, so I like to document.] As I mentioned in my earlier post, I met Michael Friedman at the Clinic by Dr. H. He’d led me through my first workout there, and he is a good motivator. He’s been there himself – […]
One of my journeys is health. About a year ago, after one too many suggestions from my doctor about getting a lap-band for weight loss and other weight-related issues, I jumped on an opportunity to spend two weeks at the newly-launched Clinic by Dr. H. The H stands for Dr. Rob Huizenga.
This blog is like its starting title: the beginning of a journey. The first post is new snow: wherever you step, you leave a mark that will last…but not forever. Snow melts, and that first step will eventually be nestled into a corner of your mind, as more recent steps and the view ahead take priority. I […]
