Straight from the Oval Office

been feeling very good lately.  The wife and i have been doing an EXTRA hour of cardio every day and even taking our lil one along in his stroller.  as happy as i am to be getting closer to my goal of losing some body fat, i’m evenmore excited that we’re doing this together.  i’m getting back into the swing of things, so i should be updating my blog more often.  Have a great remainder of your weekend!!!!

for the first time in more than two weeks, i actually woke up and worked out this morning.  i’m usually so tired from work and being husband/daddy that i’m dragging out of bed every morning. hopefully i can make it two in a row tomorrow…off to work now

Had a wonderful weekend. I was able to get a much needed break from work so that i could spend time with my wife and the little one. We didn’t really do anything exciting, but we were able to get a lot of rest and some thing done around the house. The best part was that my wife and I actually had time to exercise TOGETHER!!! May not seem like a big deal, but trust me it is.  Our schedules haven’t allowed for much exercise time, especially together.  She’s so thankful for me working out with her, and i’m just glad that she’s ready to get back on the grind after the birth of our beautiful son.  She spent most of the weekend looking at her pre-prego pics, so when we worked out, she was moving at a madman’s pace. I couldn’t ask for anything  more out of the weekend.  Now on to a great week!!!

my lil brother is thinking about getting th3 p90x program and us going thru it together.  anyone try the program and have feedback? let me know

sometimes it really sucks being a man of your word.  this is exactly one of those times.  10 weeks ago i made a commitment to really push myself in order to see how much progress i could make.  at the end of the 10 weeks, i was going to take and upload my new progress pics, measurements, and write about my results/feelings. damn damn damn. the last day is tomorrow…my how time flies!!! well, it’s been a hectic 10 weeks that has seen the death of my father, the birth of my son, and me seemingly wandering in between here and there! i’m not being negative, just honest…..i don’t know what the story is going to be tomorrow as far as the measurements and the pictures are concerned, but they will be there.  i guess, if nothing more, they will serve as a reminder that my word is all i really have. . .if i commit to something, i better do it or live with the consequences!! see ya tomorrow!!

it seems like the more you want something, the harder you work towards a goal…..the more obstacles are placed in your path. not that i can really call having a beautiful baby boy or business picking up obstacles, but you know. trying to find the time now to work out is ridiculous.  but it’s a challenge that i’m willing to accept. evenmore, soon my wife will be going back onto her rotations which means that Trey will be coming to work with "daddy." right now, my workouts are taking place AT THE OFFICE.  everytime i’m not on the phone or with clients, i’m either getting a set of push-ups, crunches, or sets of weights in. it’s funny to see how other people think and react.  they really do think that i do it for show. . . .i didn’t know anything was really amusing about seeing someone jumprope in the office parking lot on his lunch break….but the hell with them…let em laugh and poke fun. because when i come into the office on fridays in the jeans and t-shirts. . .. i see their REAL reactions………………Damn, dude just look like he did a bid in county for some months.  that’s good enough for me!!!

thought this was supposed to get easier as time passed.  cried for the first time tonight since my pops passed. haven’t even been able to hold my son today b/c i get so sad about my dad not being here any more.  i knew it would hurt, but didn’t know it would feel like i’m dying on the inside.
