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. …
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 …

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 …
One beautiful clear morning in early summer, I found myself pacing dirt trails within the Garden of the Gods in Colorado. A work trip had brought me to the area. Though my endurance was nowhere near where it had been in the past, I connected with this terrain. It energized me and I felt as …
My hands felt near frozen. This was crazy. “Just go inside now,” I thought. No. I needed to make one more shot and then I could go in. Only three shots made in a row could produce the psychological, ethereal key that would unlock my own mental door allowing me to physically go back inside …
Where to begin? I have always considered myself an active and athletic person. However, with more years under my belt and time to reflect on it, for the first thirty years of my life I realize that “active” does not necessarily equate to “healthy.” The idea of a “healthy” lifestyle was hardly a consideration in …
