I never quite understood depression until experiencing it first hand. In one defining moment it reared its dark head from the shadows and bit me hard; and I couldn’t deny it. Whether we know or acknowledge the reasons behind its manifestations, it is debilitating. Growing up, depression and anxiety weren’t part of my physical, or …
I got busy and a little lazy, and got behind in posting my status. Today I’m supposed to post my Week 7 status, so I’ll need to add both. I did pretty well sticking to macros and remained consistent with workouts right before the gym closed. My body compositions indicates that body fat % is …
I skipped altering my macros on Week 6. With other changes due to Coronavirus, like more work meetings and children doing home school, I didn’t need to add more to my plate. I’ll be changing things now; however. I have adjusted my macros to the following: Calorie Target: 2300 kcal Carbohydrate: 242g (42%) Protein: 213g …
How the weeks fly by. If it weren’t for tracking on this blog I probably would have lost count of the weeks by now. The days leading up to my weigh in, my weight fluctuated quite a bit; mostly water weight I’m sure. However, my week 5 weight continued my downward trend at 198.4 lbs. …

What a week, eh folks! People raiding the store shelves, buying up all the toilet paper. Everyone confined to their homes and yet the stores seem busier than ever. Earthquakes in the morning. Whoow! When will the zombies start showing up? With all this Coronavirus craziness my body must have gone into survival mode cause …
Week number 3 into my body recomposition experience. Time sure does go by fast. My recent measurement is 199.8lbs. That’s 1lb down from last week, so the downward trend continues. As mentioned before, I do not have a specific weight target. My aim is to get down to 10% body fat for starters. I have …
My second week in and the scale shows 201, down from 205. 2lbs average a week is fairly aggressive though I’m ok with it. After last week I was a little concerned I was cutting too fast so I added in more calories but I also suspect that a portion of it was due to …
One week in and I am 3 pounds down from 205lbs. Yeeayuhh! It is more than I expected. I don’t want to cut too much too fast so I will likely adjust in the coming week to increase carbs and protein intake a little. Standing on a scale and weighing in is not always the …
About a year ago I set out on some personal goals together with my children, goals that are broken down into four categories: Spiritual, Physical, Social, and Intellectual. It has been an amazing learning and growing experience. I shared in previous posts about my health journey and some of these goals/aspirations tie in on the …
