Hello it's me...

 

I have been very bad about updating my weight loss blog. I could bore you with a lot of excuses...the truth is life is just busier than ever before. Busy is good...just finding the time to keep doing the things I love just gets harder.

I realize at this point it is like starting all over again as far as the blog goes. I am probably writing this for myself and to keep myself on track. 

Weight loss? I have kept the weight off, if this is the first time you have found me....I have lost 130 pounds over the last 2+ years. I did it with WW and a lot of determination, encouragement from friends and reading a lot of other weight loss blogs.

I still love my job at Q102 here in Cincinnati and I have been doing TV for the past couple of years. I do an artist interview segment that airs on the local CBS affiliate WKRC. It's called "Backstage with Brian Douglas." You can check out some of the tv stuff on my facebook page  http://tinyurl.com/2ajc9ht

Recent interviews I have done include: Lady Antebellum, Adam Lambert, Colbie Caillat, Adelitas Way, Good Charlotte and many others.

Since the last time I posted here, I have done a 5k, 10k and The Cincinnati Flying Pig Half Marathon. I need to start some light weight training again for tone but do my carido six days a week.

Hope you are having a great day!

 
 

This week's Wi and other fun...

I love the holidays not so much for all the gifty things (as a friend of mine calls it) but because the of the reaction on my kids faces , spending time with those I love and remembering the reason for the season. The holidays also mean we are usually in hyper mode and everybody is so BUSY. Make sure you take a deep breath (I am telling myself this too) and take in all the fun that can be experienced aside form the hustle and bustle.

My weigh in went well this week, I lost 1.2 and I have now lost a total of 121.4 pounds. I have been adding points and trying to find that magic number that will keep me maintaining. I really believe that the next phase (maintenance) is going to be as challenging as losing has been.

Had a fun day earlier , the radio station where I work hosted a lunch for winners with the band Saving Able. We had an awesome time, the band sounded great and the guys couldn't have been any nicer! If you are not familiar with Saving Able they have 2 current hits "Addicted" and "18 Days." Here is a pic from this afternoon with the guys and my good buddy Grover who is on before my show on the radio.

 

I hope you have had a great week and enjoy your weekend! I am headed to Cleveland tomorrow morning to hang out with the guys from "Hinder" they are playing the House of Blues in Cleveland tomorrow night. :-)
