Tie Your Belt?

Gone are the days when anyone wears anything the “right” way. I cannot remember where/who I recently saw this- but tying a belt, with a buckle, instead of fastening.

Something I was lucky enough to know and understand when I started my journey down this tough tough world of ‘losing weight’- mostly because I had a couple of trainer friends that were actually trying to get me down this road a looooong time ago. I’ve also been very athletic from school/college- […]

Midday Belt Test

In the midst of my losing weight, I have fun days like today, where I realize how much weight I’ve actually lost (close to 57 lbs) :). This belt used to barely fit in the first hole back in Dec 2010. Now look!

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! […]
