Nutrition & Progress: Week 8
I am pretty happy with how everything has been going. More so than I have been in quite a long time. I am down another 1.6lbs (total of about 8lbs) and clothes are fitting better and better. It is nice…
Nutrition & Progress: Week 8

Mental Break at the Fair
Last night the family and I went down to the water front for the Chow Wagon. Knowing that I would most likely not be able to find the appropriate amount of carbs, fats, and proteins while I was there, I…
