Gold Gloves

-
No doubt as a kid I thought it'd be cool to win a couple Gold Gloves.  But I sure never thought they'd look like this:


I got a set of signed 'gold' gloves from the 9Round corporate signed by the owners of the company.  I've been using them the last couple times I went.  Let's just say my old ones were definitely showing their wear and ready to be replaced.

Season of changes

-

It definitely feels like a season of change. We've had numerous protests throughout the country with calls for Police Reform and calling awareness for systemic racism within the Judicial system in the US.  It's encouraging to see the widespread and varied folks at the protests, but at the same time it's scary as hell because we are in the midst of the a global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic is still growing in the US and seems to be growing faster here than other parts of the world.  Is some of that appearance because have a more transparent government and press?  Or is just that we've done an incredibly shitty job job of protecting our selves and socially distancing.  I suspect its a combination of the two, but we are definitely doing a shitting job of protecting ourselves.  We are still staying home and minimizing our contacts with others.  We've not let our son start back soccer yet, but field space is getting hard to come by at the parks so we may star...

2.5 Years!!!

-
 Well I got off track on blogging and my weight loss journey.  I've done a good job getting back on track with fitness and dropped about 15 lbs of the weight I'd put back on. I missed my weigh in this weekend as well as my daily step count, but did get my 10k this morning before I came into work.  I also weighed in and was down to 317.6! I just checked and that is only 2.6 lbs up from when I made my last blog post. I'm turning 50 in October, so I've got a goal to be in the 'best shape' of my life when my BDay rolls around. Still noodling on what I'm going to based that somewhat abstract goal on.  I doubt I can get back down to 275 lbs, before then or even at all. But there are other health factors besides weight. I was able to complete the Huntersville Half back in December, and was not far off my PR which is incredible considering I was probably 30-40 lbs heavier than the last time I did it. I'm planning to do 50k in races this year before by Bday.  My ...

Eclipse is drawing near

-
Short update today before I head out Saturday for a long camping weekend.  We've been planning this trip for over a year. We are heading south to view the eclipse on Monday the 21st.  It should be an epic event.  I'm excited about it and not 100% what to expect.  I figure it will be unnerving and I'm confident we'll have a kid flip out and likely an adult. I've stayed the course and I'm down 121 lbs overall which is pretty incredible when I stop to think about it. Soccer season is back as of this week, which puts me back to going to 9Round in the mornings, I've had to shift my work schedule around some so on the days I go to 9Round I haven't been able to start my day with a walk, which means I need to walk in the evenings, but I'm usually at scouts or soccer so that hasn't been an issue. I've had a few ideas over the last few weeks of updates to or things to share, but I can't think of them now.  I'll have to start keeping tra...
