Time to check in after 30 days of intermittent fasting and what could charitably be called ‘sporadic workouts’ Before I started anything I got a blood test at LabCorp designed for men’s health. I needed a baseline to understand where my health was – and by checking every 60 days I can track the improvement…
I recently got some routine blood work done, and instead of just glancing at the numbers and moving on, I actually sat with it. This felt like one of those moments where your body is quietly tapping you on the shoulder and saying, “Hey — pay attention now, not later.” So here’s the honest snapshot…
I’ve spent a lot of time “under the hood” of my own health lately. As I’ve crossed into my 50s, I’ve realized that my body isn’t just going to maintain itself on autopilot anymore. I’m looking for optimization—keeping the engine running clean so I can keep up with the kids, stay sharp at work, and…
Ok, so I don’t think I’m going to post every day, that just seems aggressive and I doubt anyone is even reading these (I’m basically using this site as a journal to refer to) but posting when some goal is met or I have some insights I’d like to capture seems appropriate. No real hunger…
2025 was the first year in over 20 years that I didn’t have any set goals I was trying to achieve. I mean, I still carried over some habits I created during the ’50 for 50’ challenge, but once that ended at the end of February I was burned out. I didn’t realize it at…
So – due to how crazy summer was (with work, vacations, kids being home) not much was accomplished since my last post but I was working on a plan in the meantime and I plan to start executing it on Sep 2nd (the day after labor day). It just seems like a good time to…
Its been 4 months since I completed my 50 for 50 challenge. So what now? Well first I took a break – completing that challenge was taxing and took up an inordinate amount of my time and I just needed a break where I could focus on other things and just relax and unwind. I…
When I began this journey of 50 for 50 I knew exactly what I wanted to achieve, yet my approach was vague. I jumped in enthusiastically, tackling tasks at random and celebrating early victories. But around the six-month mark, things shifted. The initial easy wins faded, leaving me in what can generously be described as…
This was an interesting one as the sources of learning ended up being pretty varied. There were two books I read “Co-Intelligence” and “The AI Driven Leader”, I watched a ton of YouTube videos and took a few training classes (some virtual, some in person). I came into this thinking AI could be a useful…
Wow. That was quite a journey. I’m honestly still processing the fact that I managed to complete everything. Looking back, I’ve spent over two decades setting goals, and the highest I ever reached before was maybe 60% completion—and that was with a modest list of just ten goals. When I first considered taking on this…
