Creating a fitness lifestyle requires a lot of discipline and routine. Unfortunately, not everyone is disciplined or works well with routine. I am a perfect example. While I can be very disciplined in specific instances, I am far from a disciplined personality. And routine, frankly, drives me insane. I thrive on variety … even in […]
As I think I may have mentioned along the way, I took a bit of a “vacation” that i just recently got back from. I am not sure one can truly call it a vacation when I don’t have a typical 9-5 life, but it was a change of scenery and a bit of refreshment […]
Anyone who has gained weight, then gone through the process of trying to lose it again, knows that it is not a situation of “equal and opposite”. Somehow what it seems to take mere days to gain, takes weeks or even months to lose. There are reasons for this, some of them scientific explanations, but […]
While focusing on our physical health is very important to a general improvement of ourselves, it is not the ONLY thing we need to focus on. Stress is a physical reality, an actual medical condition with documentable symptoms. Not everyone realizes this. But ironically, though it has strong effects on the body, stress is often […]

If you are here on this site, something caught your attention. But, unless you already know me, you might at this point be wondering: “Who IS this guy, and why would I want him to help me? I mean, what is so special about him anyway?” I guess a good place to start would be […]
A good friend of mine who has been the spark of many of my recent self-realization posts just offered me a challenge. Well she frequently challenges me to be a better me, but this time it was a specific challenge. Basically she suggested that I write a Eulogy for myself written from another person’s perspective. How would I want […]
Not sure deciding to start writing a book on Fourth of July weekend is the best idea! I am proud to say though that despite lack of sleep due to working and debauchery followed by a day of slacking for recovery purposes I have still managed to make some progress! I managed to create a database to track characters, […]
