Running sucks for fat guys! It’s seriously about the worst form of exercise that we can put ourselves through. Can you imagine taking 400 pounds and repeatedly dropping it on a couple of loaves of bread? That’s what we’re doing. We’re crushing a loaf of Wonder in the name of...

I frequently talk about working out and eating right and maintaining mental focus and those are all nice things, but I think that most of us know what it takes to drop pounds (at least in the scientific sense). I think what many of us lack is the HOW. Even if I know I’m supposed to eat less or eat...

Good gracious it’s been a crazy couple of days! I think this post has the potential of getting lengthy, so if it does, please read longer. So weight training has been off limits for the last 6 weeks…something about organs needing time to heal post surgery — I don’t know. Anyway,...

I go to school five days a week as I try my best to get edumucated. I’m pursuing some certifications in order to become a computer ninja of sorts. I’ll spare you the gruesome details of what I’m studying; let’s just say that if this blog is for my right brain, then my school work is definitely...

Some of you may have seen the pictures that I’ve posted of myself on this very website and thought to yourselves, “Was he attacked by a bear? Maybe he was involved in some type of industrial accident? That scarring must be the result of some type of skydiving mishap.” Well, all three are...

Much like Boo Weekly in this Happy Gilmore-esque move I’m starting to really feel the flow of this diet and workout routine. I’m starting to feel so good about my progress. My trainer was out of town last Thursday so I was left on my own to exercise. I practiced self discipline and got in great...

I’ve officially made it through what I have lovingly named “The Gauntlet”.  This is the middle of the week when my exercise routine is the most strenuous.  I meet with my trainer on Tuesdays and Thursdays and do cardio on my own on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday.  If I make it...

Today I began the exercise routine that I’m going to be doing for a while.  My exercise plan consists of cardio on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, and strength training with Mike on Tuesday and Thursday.  Mike says that after a few weeks we’ll do interval training on Mondays and...
