I have a goal. Not long ago I sprung for a Fat Cyclist team jersey from Twin Six, even though it is way out of line with the jerseys I usually get. I did this for two reasons: one, because part of the proceeds went to Livestrong; and two, because I’m considering going to Philadelphia […]
One of the social workers I work with who is usually stationed at another clinic will be temporarily assigned to the same building and shift I do for a few weeks. She’s close to my age and she’s been trying to get her workouts kick started too. So tomorrow, we’re going to meet at 7:15 […]
I’m sick. I don’t like being sick, and while there’s no “best” time, this really isn’t anywhere near that, since I start a six day stretch of work Monday. I’m hoping this is “just” a cold, not the flu, and certainly not the flu formerly known as swine. What about my workouts? Trying to do […]
I had planned for this post to run on Monday the 9th of November, 2009, but for some reason it ended up buried in my draft pile. My apologies for my tardiness. I ran this morning, a pretty short two miles, before my aborted attempt to attend Sunday service at Kane’ohe Higashi Hongwanji (to give […]
I’m about 90 degrees into a 180 degree turn. I haven’t been doing that well with my health and fitness recently–once I was done with the century I started a downward spiral and my way too busy October dragged me down into it further. But it’s November now and that part of my life is […]
On Tuesday, I took off from my regular job to help out my friend Burt Lum and sit on a panel at a Hawai’i Department of Health summit. Our topic: social media. Between Burt, who works for Hawai’i’s Blue Cross/Blue Shield affiliate, known as HMSA, Randy Kusaka of the Hawai’i Blood Bank, and myself, we […]
One of the big areas that I’ve slid in since the century ended is diet. I’ve gotten lazy. Until the last month or so, I’ve been pretty diligent about my diet, but it’s really disintegrated with more social events, my schedule coming apart at the scenes, and just being outright lazy. That has to stop. […]
I’m making progress. Slowly, but it’s coming. I’d fallen so off the wagon the last few weeks I stopped making the smoothies for dinner I had done for months. Instead I was either eating out or eating more cheese sticks and almonds, chased by a Diet Pepsi. That has to stop. I’ve also been sleeping […]
I’m tired, still. This month has been full of celebrations (which are not over yet), working a weekend day or two, and a new computer system at work, all of which are conspiring to keep me tired. I dunno about you but I find that combining being tired with not working out to be a […]
I’m righting the ship here. After the century ride I gave myself longer of a time off from being serious about working out than I really wanted to. In the meantime, the days have gotten shorter and the weather has been either raining hard or incredibly hot and humid. Things are, however, turning around. With […]
