On the Net: The Mother of All Mother’s Days?

Check out this story about the Duggar family expecting child number 18! Now I would like to have a nice-sized family, but I think at this stage, 18 kids might be a bit much. Moreover,  more than likely whoever I marry will probably not have the “clock time” of the mom in this story.

Wow, Talk About Forever!

I know it’s been that long since I’ve posted. Blogging ain’t easy, especially when you’re transitioning into a new job and you’ve got lots of other new responsibilities. Even so, I’ll try to squeeze in some time to post some new thoughts and give you some updates. I continue to roll on with P90X, slowly creeping toward my weight goal. Graphic design is becoming more and more a part of my life. I’m still writing and performing poetry. I’m into kickball again, but this time I have a head coach spot! Film at 11! Details later!

Project Transformation: Going to the “X” Level with P90X

Initial Thoughts About P90X

Today was the day. OK, maybe yesterday was the day. I’m referring to my receipt of P90X(R), the extreme home fitness training system. Though it might sound silly to say this, I was very excited when I finally got the package. If I had known that UPS was going to deliver near 8 PM CST, I wouldn’t have wasted half my morning waiting at home for the delivery truck to come. Thanks a lot, UPS!

Well, when I got the package, I opened it immediately and watched the introductory DVD. I thumbed briefly through the manuals, one for exercise and the other for nutrition. All I can say is that this is going to be a serious time of training.

Project Transformation: Do the “Don’ts” for Making 2008 Your Year of Fitness (Part 2)

5 Critical Don’ts to Observe for Making Your Fitness Plan Work

It’s that time of the year again. You’ve seen the commercials on televisions. You’ve heard the spots on the radio. You’ve seen the well-sculpted, slender bodies. You’ve seen the rippling muscles. You’ve seen the tight butts and sexy legs. You’re tempted to respond, to buy into the hype. Yes, you’ve heard and seen all of the new member specials at your local gym or health club. You think to yourself, “This is the year that I will get into shape.” You tell yourself, “I’m going to walk everyday, diet, and workout six times a week.” Ah yes, the much ballyhooed New Year’s resolutions; these things and more you plan to do for 2008.

While it’s great to talk about all you will do, consider what you won’t do. That is, in the midst of your do’s, consider the “don’ts” as well. Your don’ts are just as crucial as your do’s to helping you improve your plan for health. With that in mind, consider the following five (5) don’ts for setting a solid foundation for your 2008 physical fitness.

Project Transformation: Day 119 - Year-End Review

It’s been a while since I last gave an update. For that matter, it has been a while since I’ve posted anything to my blog period! Even so, it’s time to give out some numbers and talk about plans for the future. I feel that I’m halfway to most of my goals. It’s been exciting to make the progress that I’ve made. Even more, it’s been gratifying to hear people say, “Wow! You look good! You’ve lost weight!” Obviously, if I never posted pictures for their viewing, they’ve already put the “Before” and “After” images together in their heads. OK, with all that said, let’s look at a few pictures and talk about results and future plans.

Christian Commentary: Think, My People, Think.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything to my blog. Hey, that’s life some times. As much as I love to write, I do have to attend to matters beyond the electronic ether. Hopefully, I’ll have the chance to catch up on some posts that are way overdue.

I am an e-mail pig. That is, I’ve got multiple e-mail accounts (at least five (5)) and I check them all everyday, several times a day. What’s worse is that I’m thinking about adding a few more accounts! To quote Michael Jackson from the Off the Wall album: “Don’t stop till you get enough!” (Hee-hee! Oooh! Can’t you see my glittering socks and one glove?) I’m sure I’m not the only one who has multiple accounts out there.

Lest I stray from the intent of this post, I received an e-mail from a very dear friend that I’ve known all of my life. As is typical in this age of e-mail, I, along with you, probably receive a bombardment of e-mails forwarded from friends.  I’m beginning to think that the “forward” button is one of the most evil contraptions devised. That button has become a license for friends to spam you legally.
