Bring It On

This weekend I completed the 4x4x48 challenge created by David Goggins. Here's my take. 

Thinking about my profession & what it means to me after listening to The Wolf of WallStreet by Jordan Belfort some this week got my brain in that gear. And the Athletic Brewing Co beer I mentioned last week? It is THE BOMB!!! 

Learned some new things from The Spartan Up podcast with Joe DeSena the other day. His guest was Sarah Wilson from I Quit Sugar. And frankly it made me stop & pay attention. Here are my thoughts. And feel free to go check it out. 

Hanging out with my good friend Danielle today chatting about life, family & business. After some *cough cough* technical difficulties....aka Erin for got to unmute the mic, we had a good chat! Enjoy!

Adding some logging for strength workouts on paper. And why do I suck so bad with food prep? Ugh. The struggle & my excuses. Add it to the do something that sucks list & force myself to do it, I'll thank myself later-I know. 

4 hacks to bettering your health. And some other randomness, because y'all know I can't not be random.

A little information about purchasing livestock products directly from a producer, and a couple of key things to know. 

Today is my late buddy's birthday. This guy was always the crazy one of the bunch, loud, obnoxious & I loved him. I couldn't ever leave a conversation with him & not have been in stitches. Here's to you today my old friend. Happy Heavenly Birthday Mark. And a toast of Patron to you.

Tomorrow night I’ll be telling one of my stories. A little overview of the hip story.

Some happenings locally & some thoughts on what we need to do about it. 

I've recorded only 50 of these things? Feels like 500 some days. A message from Andy Frisella's Andygram yesterday made me chuckle a little bit....because it's true. And then I’m off to the squirrel races so buckle up, there’s some cornering going on here today.

Got some bloodwork test results back this morning & I'm celebrating!!!!

Food tracking, macro targets & how they aren't forever fixed in stone. Also some random inappropriate-ness about barfing up french fries & body cleanses. 

With the shit show from yesterday to pull-ups & training goals. Focusing on the targets are where I must stay to remain focused and eye on the prize. If your goals & targets don't make you nervous, they're not big enough. 

I get asked all the time what motivates me......a lot. But what keeps me going is not motivation. 

A personal memoir of a life lesson from 1992.

Calgon take me away. The last 24 hours has been a little rough around here.

Down & out doesn't have to be. 

We all have a time in our lives....like more than just one....that we need the help & support & accountability from other people. Be it to help pick us up when we've fallen, call us out on our excuses or just be a teammate in general. This cast started out with one track in mind then took a hard right turn into something totally different. Surprised aren't you. HA!

No one else can do it but you. What kind of commitment have you made to yourself?

I get asked a lot of questions from friends who want to start running. Here are some things I've learned....of course the hard way....since I started my running journey. 

How many times has someone told you, you can't do that. Or your crazy for wanting to do that. Or there's no way you'll ever do that. I can't even tell you how many times I've heard it. So here.....hold my beer & watch this shit. 

Have you ever had an issue with your kid's Playstation account? Like fraudulent charges? FML Good luck with their shitty customer service. 

Getting a running start into the new year.

A little Project 90 update, a coffee bean & some gratitude.
