Share Your Nostalgia

After seven days of great toys, I suppose it is my turn to wrap things up in my Toy of Your Life topic. Before I begin, I want to extend my gratitude to those seven writers who said, "Yeah, Keith. I'll write up something for your silly feature." Nancy, Colin, Christian, Randy, Max, Dave, and … Continue reading Share Your Nostalgia →

The Music of My Life – 1990

Welcome back to The Music of My Life, where I feature ten songs from each year of my life. In most cases, the ten songs I choose will be ones I like personally (unless I explain otherwise). The songs will be selected from Billboard’s Year-end Hot 100 Chart, Acclaimed Music, and will all be released … Continue reading The Music of My Life – 1990 →

45 – Not a Colt or a Record

Back in July I wrote: "since I started posting about my weight loss journey, I have been followed by just about every keto diet page, healthy living page, eat better/workout more page and such. This irks me for some reason. I post my stuff here to keep myself accountable. On the weeks I gain weight … Continue reading 45 – Not a Colt or a Record →

Lordy, Lordy, I’m Down 40!

Today, I began my 16th week on Weight Watchers. When I weighed in this morning, I was happy to see that I had hit a major milestone. This week I lost a whopping 5 pounds taking my total weight loss to 41 pounds! I hope to eventually get past some of the stress related things … Continue reading Lordy, Lordy, I’m Down 40! →

Getting Smaller

Tuesday is "weigh in" day for me. I sort of have a ritual when it comes to weighing in. As soon as I get up, I use the restroom. I take off my watch, take off my shirt, and weigh in in nothing but my boxers. My apologies for the detail, however, I feel that … Continue reading Getting Smaller →

Time Well Spent

Sometimes, you have to MAKE time. That is what I did the last time my boss asked for all of our "time off requests." I chose one day a month and took it off to be sure that my wife and I get some "us" time. Last Friday, was the first of those days. By … Continue reading Time Well Spent →

Weekend Ride on the Emotional Rollercoaster of Life

It's been a crazy past few days. On Friday, we took Andrew to the ENT to discuss the results of his sleep study. He has severe sleep apnea. Usually, this means that the tonsils or the adenoids need to come out to open up the airway. The doc took a look at his and said … Continue reading Weekend Ride on the Emotional Rollercoaster of Life →

Almost 30 …

I try to hold myself accountable as I continue my weight loss journey. I neglected to post this week's weigh in results. I really was not sure what to expect this week as I had a bad day where I went over the points I was allowed. I tried to counter that by walking an … Continue reading Almost 30 … →

A Weekend of Ups and Downs

This weekend certainly was one that left me emotionally drained. It also left me knowing that there are things that I need to do as well as some priorities that need shifting. Some things are just too important and changes need to be made. I have every intention of doing what needs to be done. … Continue reading A Weekend of Ups and Downs →

Staying Accountable

I'm not quite in a writing mood today. I'm not perfect. I disappoint people. I hate when I do that. Sometimes I take things the wrong way or read a signal wrong. I hear something and it reminds me of my past life and I react to it that way, which is wrong. I am … Continue reading Staying Accountable →
