  • 1 Million Calories Challenge – Week 3

    Jan 14 – I woke up early because of the dog, but that’s okay. I have decided to be as calorie restrictive as possible today as last night at my aunt and uncle’s place, I ate more than I should have. I think I ended the 13th with 100 calories left before hitting my cap. Read more

  • 1 Million Calories Challenge – Week 2

    I made it through another week with some successes and some failures, but I continued to bank calories away as most days, I had some left over. I am hopeful that the week ahead will see me do even better, continue to focus on eating healthier, but also forgiving myself when I don’t as long Read more

  • Calories in Context – Eating Out

    If we think about my 2700 calorie per day budget, and divide that up into around 600 calories for breakfast, 800 for lunch, and 300 for snacks, then that leaves me with 1000 for supper and as much as I know I should be cooking at home as often as possible, long days co-running a Read more

  • 1 Million Calories Challenge – Week 1

    This week wasn’t too bad. I tracked what I ate, and didn’t really alter my diet too much other than cutting back on the soda that I drink and things like chips, chocolate and ice cream… All the good things in life! Honestly though, I am excited about this challenge and documenting my experiences through Read more

  • Calories and BMR

    One of the most common pieces of feedback I’ve received so far for my 1 Million Calories Challenge is that 2739 calories per day are too many! Maybe everyone is right. I’ve definitely done more restrictive diets previously to lose weight and was able to feel fine for long periods at far fewer calories than Read more

  • 1 Million Calories Challenge

    TL;DR – January 1st, I start a countdown giving myself 1,000,000 calories for all of 2019. My cousin decided to do a push-up challenge in 2018 in part to improve his health. He completed over 37,000 push-ups during the year. His dedication to a challenge that he set himself was really inspiring to me and Read more

  • My First Post with Gutenberg

    It looks like I was one of the lucky few that got early access to Gutenberg on WordPress.com. It reminds me a little of the visual editor, and as someone that always uses the code or raw text editor, it’ll take some getting used to.  Why Try It? Well, I have been a fan of Read more

  • The WP Minute – A PressTitan WordPress News Podcast

    Over the last month, I’ve been researching, writing, recording and editing a daily video series that covers the latest of WordPress news with a few my own thoughts and opinions thrown in. It is called The WP Minute and it takes about a minute to get through an episode. This means you could get all Read more

  • When Are You An Entrepreneur?

    So, David Krug and I have been working hard to build up PressTitan and serve our clients well, but I don’t think of myself as an entrepreneur. I just like to do cool things that make my clients happy and pay my bills. I have been a fan of Gary Vaynerchuk for a very long Read more

  • Malcolm vs David

    So, I have started using the name Malcolm as much as possible. I have wanted to make this change for a long time, and you can read a bit more about that on a blog post from over two years ago entitled Name Change Thoughts. With the support of my wife and some recent examples Read more

  • PressTitan

    PressTitan

    I haven’t talked much about it on my blog yet, but almost a year ago now, I co-founded a company with a friend of mine, David Krug. He has an even longer history with WordPress than I do, though just as diverse in terms of experiences. The company was started to bring better technology and Read more

  • Fortnite Fails and Frustrations

    So, I took this week off from streaming because I have decided to level-set as I continue to struggle with anxiety and being too hard on myself. I have been streaming a ton of Fortnite, a game that triggers my anxiety. I was hopeful that if I played enough of it, my anxiety would go Read more
