Weekly walk with Tania
For the past couple of weeks Tania and I have been taking walks. This week we went in the morning (instead of our usual nighttime stroll) since she was Tired. I guess it’s better since we get to see more…
Brighton Beach Volleyball
Had an awesome day playing some beach volleyball with some great people today. We started early around 9am. I decided to get there by bicycle which took about 1 hour and 45 minutes. It was a good workout and was…
59:43
I thought about the title for this post somewhere between mile 6 and 7. I thought to myself, “You’re close to a sub 1 hour time. You can do it. Just push yourself”. I haven’t been here (time wise) since…
Walking through Queens at night
When do you get 70 degree weather in February? I don’t think it happens too often. At least I don’t think it has happened in my lifetime in New York. Tania and I took to the streets of Queens to…
First run of 2018!
After yesterday’s trip to Constitution Marsh Tania and I had dinner at Table in Peekskill. The restaurant is very good, but they are known for having very large portions. I told Tania I was not capable of resisting their “Really…
Vegan bean/quinoa guacamole burger with yam fries
I had a crack at making vegan burgers today. I looked up the recipe, gathered the ingredients and took a shot at it. I’m happy the way they turned out, but after tasting the final product there are a few…
Veganism for almost 2 weeks
Tania and I have been eating clean (vegan) for almost 2 weeks now. I have to say it’s paying off. My fitness really took a turn for the worst recently. I was about 220lbs a few weeks ago, and now…
Appalachian Trail – Bear Mountain
Tania and I took a trip up north to Bear Mountain to walk one of its trails. We decided to take the Appalachian trail which presented us with a lot of stairs (100+ floors if I recall correctly). It was…
218
218 pounds. This is the heaviest I think I’ve ever been. After some previously failed attempts I think it’s time I take my health/fitness a bit more seriously. I’ve done it before and I can do it again. I plan…
Review of Blink Fitness in Jackson Heights
Tania and I have decided to sign up to a local brand spanking new gym called Blink Fitness. Blink Fitness is owned by equinox and is much more affordable ($15 or $20 a month as compared to Equinox’s $150+ monthly…
I made it to the front page of another sub-reddit
Back in January I had made it to the front page of r/itookapicture on Reddit. I have made it yet again to the front page of yet another sub-reddit. This time it is r/bodybuilding. I have to admit it feels…
Don’t wait till New Year’s – Month 12 complete
It has officially been 365 days! Today completes my year-long journey. I kept thinking about this day many times along the way and never thought I would get here. I’ve tried in high school but only managed to stay focused…
Almost there
It has been almost a year since I first began working out. Time sure has flown by. I remember when I couldn’t do much in the gym and I wasn’t capable of running very far. I tried to recreate this…
Bodybuilding update – Month 7 complete
Month 7 is done. Seems like the months are flying by now. The strange part is my body is not progressing at a rate at which it used to during the first couple of months, but the good part is…
