It is Tuesday morning, January 11, 2021. I normally wake to my alarm at 5:30 AM on delivery days. Today it felt more like I just rolled out of bed rather than wake up, as I feel like I tossed and turned most of the night with thoughts about my delivery today (first-time content), as …

Day 21,301
It is Monday morning, January 10, 2022. Started off the day with a little good news. I’m back on my meal plan, and I am down almost a full seven pounds from where I was last week at this time. Up the hydration, down the carbs, and discipline, discipline, discipline. I do believe combining my …

Day 21,300
It is Sunday morning, January 9, 2022. I made a mistake this morning. My wife gifted me with a Flaviar subscription, for which I am truly grateful. Part of my quarterly shipment is a small, three-vial tasting sampler set. It comes in a cylindrical container with a slip-off top. I had shown that wonderful gift …

Today is a Saturday, January 8, 2022. Nobody’s making people into Soylent Green yet. A great performer passed away yesterday, legendary actor Sidney Poitier, and I’ve read several tributes to him. One that particularly grabbed my attention was the reflection by Halle Berry, posting a quote from Mr. Poitier’s book, “Life Beyond Measure”. “A tiny …

Day 21,298
It is a Friday, January 7, 2022. I don’t have a class today, as just about all of my classes have moved to a four-day format, and today I have a number of meetings to attend, starting with a casual “come as you are” chat with my fellow trainers here in about ten minutes. Coffee …

It is January 6, 2022. A year ago today, a sitting president, defeated in his attempt for re-election, organized protestors in an effort to overturn a lawful election. It was not the best moment in the history of this country. No matter what policies his administration implemented that may have had a net positive effect, …

It is Wednesday, January 5, 2022, and baby, it’s cold outside. 15 degrees according to my little weather station – I’ve got an Accurite weather station that ties into a weather crowd-sourcing app, Wunderground.com (Weather Underground). I’m not expecting a lot of drama today. There will be a lot of discussion in the news about …

Day 21,295
Good morning! It is Tuesday, January 4, 2022. It is early, but I made that choice… or more likely, my bladder wanted to get up and I decided to go along with it for now. The weight-loss plan I’m on right now cuts carbs and increases water consumption. I have not been properly hydrating for …

Day 21,294
Today is January 3rd, 2022. Funny… I almost kept adding “twos” to the end of the date. This is the first day of my “renewal”. Generally speaking, January 1st really isn’t the best day to start on a new path and rededicating oneself to goal setting and finding some balance, primarily due to my desire …

Day 21,293
The end of my holiday break… tomorrow, I’ll get up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed to resume my role as a trainer for a really great company, and, no, I don’t write that just because this is my public blog and I might have co-workers or customers read it. I’m a very happy person, professionally speaking. Just …
