We had a near-blizzard in Chicago today. Most of the day the view from my windows here in the Steel Tower was Chicago’s famous horizontal snow. I did not go out of course but I did not do any treadmill walking or stair climbing. I got all absorbed in working again; I edited a three-chapter …

Half-Way to 10K!
Today will be a good high calorie burn day! Ended yesterday at 2244 and that included a weights workout!

I can’t believe I’m this …

I did not change my usual diet at all which is decidedly quite health-supporting and I did my usual weights workouts. Put this in perspective. My weight has …

Better Late
My day was very busy but I wouldn’t miss! I had to top 2000 today. Threw down 400 kettlebell swings this evening!
