Hey there!

This stream of consciousness is intended to be an unfiltered account of my journey to fight my way to a healthier, happier life. One day at a time, one step at a time, one organically-grown-emotionally-raw blog post at a time…

  • 2018-06-15 Nashville Day 1 – Live from 12 South

    I don’t know if ya’ll have heard the news – Nashville is the new Hotness and like all great fast growing metropolitan areas, each neighborhood has its own name/flavor/vibe to pull the cool people in. Our Air Bnb is apparently in the 12 South district – or so I’m told. I arrived yesterday in the…

  • 2018-06-14 Next Stop Nashville!

    For a while now I’ve been mostly “everything is awesome… life is amazing… blah-blah-woof-woof”. It’s really nice to be a part of this repeating record, especially given what I’ve been through to get here. It doesn’t make for very exciting writing though. I mean, day after day of the same routine gets boring to write…

  • 2018-11-12 Rolling With It

    Still feeling a little off. I had good sleep last night, but it wasn’t enough. I wasn’t able to make it to the gym again today because I had to work right away AND had to take my car in to get a recall on it fixed. I’m back home now, but between that and…

  • 2018-06-11 Late Starts

    My typical routine is to get up and get my gym time in early and write all about what’s in my brain from my beloved elliptical machine. It seems like when that doesn’t happen, I’m never able to fit it in later in the day. Life gets busy and there’s just no other good time…

  • 2018-06-10 Mind the Gaps (or Don’t)

    The first half of this week I totally kicked ass at getting things done and sticking to my master plan. This second half.. maybe not as much. I probably could have predicted that. One area that has suffered is my gym time and consequently my blogging so there are gaps. I can’t be too concerned…

  • 2018-06-07 The JS Cheeseburger 🍔- A Solid 3.75

    3.75 Out of 5. I’m going to try not to focus too much on the fact that my rating scale is flawed and needs some refinement and just roll with it. I had another JS burger experience last night and it’s the 4th or 5th time so it’s about time I broke down the facts…

  • 2018-06-06 Nothing to Read Here

    It’s hump day again and my week is rolling along nicely. I’m trying to think of something to write about, but coming up empty. It’s kinda nice that there is Almost Zero drama in my life right now. It’s ok because any minute, things could change and even if it doesn’t happen in the next…

  • 2018-06-05 So Far So Good

    Yesterday I managed to get 3 out of 5 things checked off my to-do list for the week. Not bad! I also faced my arch nemesis head on and won a battle but the war waged on. I’m referring, of course, to snail 🐌 mail ✉️. It’s a never-ending pile of papers that need to…

  • 2018-06-04 List Of Ten Things…

    … to do when you fall asleep at 9PM and wake up before the butt crack of dawn: 1. Open the curtains and windows cuz it’s a beautiful day. 2. Realize the sunrise is amazing and put on sweatpants to stand in your driveway to take some pics. 3. Decide better shots are waiting at…

  • 2018-06-03 A Sunday with Significance

    But first.. weekly stats! The top areas of focus this week were sleep and work so I’ll start there. Sleep.. 7 hours and 12 mites average sleep per night. Score! That’s 12 minutes above goal and I only missed hitting that two of 7 nights. Next stop – 7 and a half. It’s all about…

  • 2018-06-02 Quite Contrary

    How does the garden grow?… With lots of digging, weeding, and hard work – that’s how! The first Saturday in June… and today I had high hopes for getting lots done outside, and indeed that is exactly what I did. For some reason, maybe PMS, maybe too much to do and not enough time, but…

  • 2018-06-01 June Flipping First

    Holy Rollovers Batman.. it’s June First!! April showers bring May flowers and May was so Hot, let’s hope June is so Not!! One of my unwritten goals this week was to get 7+ hours of sleep a night. I had no excuses for not hitting that target. Kids are home, I can get to bed…
