Why I Won’t Weigh Myself
Anyone in my life kinda knows I’ve kinda gone cardio-crazy. With anywhere from 6 to 12 hours of moderate-plus activity in any given week, I’m working on it. Most of it’s because I’m cycling for commuting. Dialing in between 100 to 150 km of cycling per week on average, yeah, it’s becoming a “lifestyle” and [...]

Get serious. And to moan and piss and whine like this publicly, on social media sites? Please. Get serious. [...]

Nowhere to Run, Nowhere to Hide
When “fat” is your body issue, and I’m talking F-A-T here, there are three places you cannot help but be confronted with your bigness.

Hanging Up on Hang-ups
Funny how we get so hung up on our hang-ups we sometimes don’t even notice when they’ve disappeared.* I was fucking floored Thursday night when I realized the varicose veins I’d been loathing for the last year had suddenly vanished in the last couple months, thanks to my awesome new fitness regime.
