Prepping for the New Year: Resolutions, Big Bang, Kaizen
I had to share this awesome post that I ran across while surfing the Blog-o-sphere:
Prepping for the New Year: Resolutions, Big Bang, Kaizen.
It is from a guy who blogs over at “52 Weeks, 52 Pounds: Weight Loss, fitness, insanity“
He is further along on his own journey to living healthy but he started the same way that I’m advocating: begin by making small changes. Keep it simple, keep working at it, and one day you’ll discover all those small changes have created a healthy you! Think of each change as a grain of sand. Keep adding a single grain of sand at a time and eventually you’ll have an awesome beach!
See ya on the dance floor!

Revel and Rejoice in the Little Things…at 4am Ssssnnnzzzz
Ok, confession time, I feel awful right now. As in this second.
Right this very minute!
Why do I suddenly feel like I’m on the set of Mame and everybody is about to break into a round of “We need a little Christmas?” Hmmm….
But I digress…
I didn’t sleep very well last night at all. I went to bed on time, 11:30pm and my alarm was set for 6:30am. (Allow me to insert a momentary aside…after much thought and evaluation of my daily routine and weekly work schedule, I decided that if I wanted to be consistent in when I go to bed and get up, that (1) 7 hours of sleep is the most that I can count on as a consistent routine thing; and (2) I forget what two was. I need more coffee.)
But I digress…
The Importance of Making Your Bed
One of the continuing themes that has developed in this blog is that switching from an “unhealthy” lifestyle to a “healthy” lifestyle is very very hard!
And what does “making your bed” have to do with “getting healthy?” Well to most people there may not be a connection, but for me there is.
Keep reading; all will be revealed.
Prepare yourselves, dear readers, all 7 of you who are reading this blog, because once again, we are about to enter the weird and wonderful world of “Tony’s Brain”….
cue the music please, hang onto the guide rope and if you get lost, well, the monster in the subconscious has to be fed somehow doesn’t he? heh heh heh…
2011-12-22, Week 1, Weekly Progress Photos: Third Time’s the Charm!
When I decided, ages ago, that I wanted to do this series of photos, I went to Academy Sports and bought four red shirts and four black pair of shorts. The were in sizes XL – Med. A little while ago when I put on the XL shirt. It didn’t fit.
Saying that “It didn’t fit” is like saying “The Mona Lisa is a famous painting.”

- I have a brand new truck! And I’m loving every bit the “newness” of it!!!!
- I don’t have to worry about breakdowns any more for 100,000 miles (bought an extended mechanical warranty) which means less stress and improved health.
- I don’t have to worry about new tires for the next 3 years (bought a tire warranty) which means less stress and improved health.
- I lost 1 pound from this week (Jenny Craig Weigh-in)
- Lost .51 % Body Fat
- Lost inches.
