The Road to SF: Progress!

Well, I last posted about being a fatso a little over a month ago. Let's talk about some of the shit that's gone on since then. First, Thanksgiving happened. My cousin came to town, and that week was a bust in terms of diet. However, we did stay in steamboat over that weekend, and I … Continue reading The Road to SF: Progress!

Advice: Avoid 16th Street Mall in Denver

I'm going to give you all a pro-tip right now. DO NOT GO TO THE 16TH STREET MALL WHEN YOU ARE IN DENVER. Denver is great, but for some reason, a lot of tourists have a tendency to go to this area of the city when they're visiting. It's a huge mistake.

The Road to SF – The Terrible Realization That You are Too Fat

Last night, I was at the gym doing my chest and tricep workout. To be honest, I was feeling good about it. My bench has increased a lot over the last couple months, and for the first time in a long time, I was doing dips without any assistance (something that has stressed my shoulder … Continue reading The Road to SF – The Terrible Realization That You are Too Fat

Hitting the Weights on a Lunch Break

I've never been guy who would forgo a night of boozing due to an intense gym session the next day, or ever consider training for something silly like an Ironman triathlon (I've known a couple of guys who've done that and they are lame as shit). That would severely hinder my social schedule. In the … Continue reading Hitting the Weights on a Lunch Break

What I was introduced to 16 years ago was something different. Brandon is a Cubs fan in … Continue reading Flying the W and Hiss Golden Messenger

Excellent food and cocktails.). Dinner included a lot of raw fish, drinks, and a bottle of wine. Anyway, we decided the best way … Continue reading Class Review: Beat Cycle

The Road to SF – The Workouts

The image above is of a blowfish that was washed ashore in Puerto Rico! Bizarre. It has nothing to do with anything else. The post below details the workouts I've been doing for the last few weeks or so. I stole them from a mens fitness site, but I forget which one, so I'm not … Continue reading The Road to SF – The Workouts

Drink Review: Little Owl Coffee

  Atmosphere: As I slowly work my way through my 30's, I toe the line of being a boring suburban fat dad and an edgy successful millennial. I'm probably more of the former than the latter these days. Little Owl provides an easy association with the artistic class as opposed to my droopy eyed co-workers which … Continue reading Drink Review: Little Owl Coffee
