One of my newest, and most favorite, workout companion apps is called Fitbod and is available in the iOS app store. Fitbod is a great combination of “workout recommendation app” alongside a “workout tracking app” that does so in an attractive user interface that even comes with an Apple Watch app. What sets this app…

The long road to exercise…
I’ve encountered many challenges with health and fitness over the years, but coming up with a routine – believe it or not – has been the hardest. I’ve taken numerous approaches ranging from utilizing pre-made app-driven schedules to micromanaging my daily routine using multiple calendars, task lists, and trackers. I’ve tried early morning workout routines because…
iPhone Health & Fitness Apps 2018
With my recent revival of a weight loss regiment, I thought it timely to review the health and fitness apps I use on my iPhone X. These are not the only apps in the app store – obvious – but after trying literally hundreds of apps in various categories (food tracking, weight training, water monitoring,…
Continuous Weight Loss Acrobatics
It’s been quite a while since I started my blog – which originally began as a small side project to share my challenges and achievements along life’s path. One of those challenges is weight loss (or the lack thereof) which has been something I’ve struggled with for years. Like many people, I have become subject…
iPhone Health & Fitness Apps 2016
After several years on hiatus, and having used almost every high-end android phone on the market, it was time to move back to the iPhone 6S Plus. Not because I despise Android or Google but because after buying a new MacBook Pro, I just needed an ecosystem that worked fluidly. The issue at hand was…
Going Big: Weight Loss Highs & Lows
“Go big or go home.” A catchy yet overused motto that has applied to me in the past. In the middle of 2013, I “went big” and signed up with a personal trainer. Not just any personal trainer but rather a high priced trainer at a highly rated boutique fitness center located in the heart…
Bottom of the cookie jar
I realized I was addicted to food last night as I was stuffing down two glazed, a chocolate glazed, and a chocolate covered crème filled doughnut at Krispy Kreme. I had craved them, dreamed of them, and talked to people about them. I HAD to have them, and I did. And I wish I could…
Living in zero gravity
There’s something about laying down that invigorates the soul… Not as in sleep through the winter hibernation mode but rather the put your feet up after a thanksgiving meal way. It’s in those moments where you stretch out all your muscles, yawn really big, and let out a bear groan that you feel perfectly relaxed….
My emotional connection with gluttony
Food is my hobby. My past time. My love. The thought of devouring certain foods makes my mouth water, causes anxiousness, and ultimately drives my physical body to ingest countless calories, sugars, and fats every day. Except for this past week – the first of many to come. That’s not to say I performed “perfectly” this…
The Weight is Over
I’m overweight. There, I said it. And not in the “I need to lose a few pounds” kind of way. Rather, in the muffin top, size 38 pants, can’t suck it in any longer sort of way. It wasn’t sudden and it wasn’t a mystery as to why it happened. It came about as a…
