About Me

I started on Livestrong early in 2010 in an effort to change my lifestyle. I did well staying consistent until I started looking for a teaching job on the other side of the country. Then I stopped tracking and posting, but I did pretty well with my diet and exercise. Then I moved, stayed with relatives all summer, and generally enjoyed my vacation a little too much.

Now, I find myself back in a steady routine of working out five or more days a week and I'm working to make that tough push from good to great shape. For me this means watching what I eat, especially portion control. This personal pitfall is made more dangerous by the fact that I really, really enjoy cooking.

A little about me personally: I'm married to a wonderful, supportive wife; I've been in the Army Reserve for over 11 years; and I am a third year middle school teacher. I enjoy many types of exercise. Currently I strength train with weights and body resistance, run, practice yoga, and do step aerobics. I get out on the weekends as much as possible snowboarding or hiking/backpacking depending on the season. See my blog for my current goals and progress.

I belong to several groups, peruse others, and frequent the forums, so please don't be weirded out if I friend you out of the blue. Odds are good I liked one of your posts or otherwise thought that you would help inspire me on my journey.

Please feel free to browse and comment on my blog and photos.
