  • Thinking About Photography: Expanding My Kit

    So, I’ve got a great kit so far for an amateur photographer, but I’d really like to get to the next level with it. I still don’t intend on turning my hobby into anything more, but I feel like having better tools allows me to get more joy from the effort I put into it. Read more

  • Weight Loss This Weekend

    I have to admit, this weekend wasn’t so great for my weight loss goals. While I did do a ton of walking (probably close to seven hours in three days now), I didn’t eat as health consciously as I know that I need to. I did, immediately upon coming home, juice myself some fruits, and Read more

  • OPPW: Week One – 298.8lbs

    So, it looks like I’ve made my first week goal (300.4lbs last week / -1.6lbs), despite not eating perfectly. I have been getting in a good hour of walking or more every day. I have been drinking more water, juicing, and eating lots of fruit and veggies. I’m planning on buying some multivitamins today so Read more
