Random thoughts...

I have been a very bad blogger...I have also been a very busy boy :-) I am sorry for my absence. It has been very sweet of those of you that I have received comments or emails from ...wondering where I had disappeared to?

 

• Weight Loss and Maintenance: I have been doing really well in this area. I made lifetime this past Thursday. I needed to be between 210 and 217 and I weighed in at WW at 213. I also finally got to go to my normal WW meeting and it was awesome seeing everybody. Our amazing leader Sue is still out after her hip replacement surgery. She emailed me today and let me know she would be back in May and I can't wait to see her again. She is not only our leader and an unbelievable inspiration but someone that truly cares and I am lucky to have landed in her meetings.

• My new favorite food: I have talked about in the past how I get into ruts with certain foods and I am in one now that I love! lol It is Mandarin Orange Chicken from Trader Joes. It is AWESOME and only 4 points per serving. It is also really easy to prepare. I saw it on a Trader Joes food list on Tina's blog a while back.

• Workouts: I have been doing pretty good but not amazing with my workouts. I am sick right now with the flu. Last week I weight trained 2x and did cardio 3x. I am seeing results with the weight training and need to step it up! Terry is the best trainer in Cincinnati and if you live here in town and need a personal trainer call Terry at 513 793 PUMP.

• Work at Q102 and Fox 19: Doing a new feature for both Radio and TV called "Behind the Hits" I am doing two dif versions the one for Q102 radio (where I work) is  long form interviews with bands. The radio version is up on our website already. Click here to listen to "Behind the Hits with The Script" They are an exciting new band from Ireland.

• The Fox 19 version is a video interview segment that airs on the Fox19 Morning Show with Rob and Shelia Monday mornings at 6:45a and 8:45am. It also airs on Friday nights during the Fox19 Ten O'clock News with Regina and Dan. They are building a page for their website and will be putting all the video interviews up soon. I have interviewed Natasha Bedingfield, Plain White T's, Flo-Rida, Elliott Yamin and The Script. When the Behind the Hits page is up I will post a link here.

• It is opening day here in Cincinnati for our Reds. The weather is cold and rainy however it is like a holiday in our city. I hope you are having a great day!

I was going to send you a "WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU" message, but I thought that might be kind of weird...

Congratulations on getting to Lifetime!! I am so incredibly proud of you. You've done SO well and it must feel like such an amazing accomplishment :) It's too bad your usual leader couldn't be there, but I'm happy that you were able to connect with her over email.

Sounds like you've been super busy - but good for you for keeping up with your workouts!!
