A couple months ago I was confronted with my out-of-whack workload and schedule. No one in particular said anything to me, but my body began going haywire.

Back in the day I drank about 6-8 cans of Coke a day. I know, I know. It’s called gluttony.  3 years ago when I started eating healthier and running I switched to Diet Coke. This year I gave up my favorite beverage primarily because it was giving me headaches. Now I drink a lot of [...]

Schooled by a 4 yr Old

June 14, 2008

This spring marked the first time in 13 years where I wasn’t classified as either obese or overweight. I’m now in the high end of the “normal” range. It hasn’t happened quickly for me.
