Twisted Sideways

Today begins the first day of a 6-month session of Kickboxing for me.  I went to a class a few weeks ago and enjoyed it.  Although I was VERY intimated because the class is actually held in a legit Martial Arts facility and they expect you to bow and follow other forms of etiquette not [...]

A few months ago I lost my FitBit and I have been pretty bummed to say the least.  I’m kind of a data freak and this little device was one that I became obsessed with in terms of tracking my fitness levels, food, weight, sleep patterns and a whole slew of other things in life. [...]

So it’s been awhile yet AGAIN since I posted here.  I used to be so good at posting updates but I have been so busy with trying to run a business that by the time I am done using the compute for work, the last thing I want to do is be on the computer [...]

Tonight, my brother Jason got married here in Austin.  Most of the family was together or at least what was invited.  It was a small, intimate gathering.  My brother Mike and I were taking some pictures as my friend Jen was snapping a few shots here and there before we left.  Dude, I need to lose [...]

Day two of our training has come and gone. It was a bit more difficult for me today cause I ended up with what felt like a numb foot for part of our training time. After much walking and restretching, I was able to determine that it was caused by the way I was walking [...]

Last night, Tuesday, we started the long process of training for this half-marathon! And boy did I wake up a little sore this morning. It was even hard to go to sleep last night because my legs ached a bit from the stopping and starting. Today, Wednesday, we have a break to rest before we [...]

So I have decided to begin training for a half-marathon! It’s the baby steps to the big one for sure. So I plan to start small, work my way to the 5K and then up from there. I am doing this with my good friend Jen for a few reasons. The biggest, being my ass. [...]

I sure hope so. I’m heading to the gym to blow off some major steam. Oh and to lose a few pounds. That couldn’t hurt either. With school starting back up today, I hope that people didn’t have the same idea about the gym. But then again, it is 8:45pm so hopefully most of the [...]

So this weekend while out on the river kayaking with some friends of mine, we decided to manover around some rocks and swiftly moving rapids. Little did I realize how tight of a squeeze it really was until I was well into the rapids. I was thrown from my kayak, pulled underwater, the kayak went [...]

So I have to admit, until last week I hadn’t been the doctor in almost ten years. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to go, it was more that I didn’t need to go. I just don’t get sick. After having my tonsils removed as a kid, all my illnesses stopped. Before that however, I [...]
