Okay, first things first. You’re probably asking yourself: “SoF 8? What in the Blue Hell happened to SoF 7?” I have no easy answer for this. It’s a complex mix of annoyance, lack of time, and shame over what I … Continue reading →

Well it’s clear at this point in the Summer of Fitness that I won’t be reaching my goal weight by the end of the summer. It’s been six weeks, and I have yet to break out of the upper 240s … Continue reading →
