Losing it

I lost 74 pounds once.

8 Year Weigh-In

So… I did a little research today- because I realized, having lost 61 lbs (as of today) that I don’t know when I’ve EVER weighed 183 lbs.

Closing the Bakery

First time I’ve gotten good “full body” photos to compare to this “benchmark” photo…the one that changed my life.

I’ve also been very athletic from school/college- […]

I Know I Can…

How freakin’ inspirational eh? Thanks to @willlanier for sharing via Chalk Up: Musings of a CrossFit guy– remember when I first tried CrossFit? I actually did another beginners class and am sold- just looking for the right schedule and timing to start elements classes!

New workout that I’ve been dying to try out… boxing! I kind of feel like I’d be REALLY good at it! So I looked into LA Boxing– they have a gym in Mamaroneck- and I can take a free trial class! I think I’m going to try it out this Saturday… see how I do! […]
