Good Days and more EA Active Fun!!



Hello Fatherverse Inhabitants!!




Ok, so today some AWESOME news came my way. I interviewed for a job that would benefit my family on so many levels. One, it is a well paying job, and two, it is in the same building as my, Beautiful Wife. So that means we can carpool and save money on gas, and the daycare we picked out for the girls when we moved to Louisville, is close to our workplace. So getting this job would mean SOOO much more for us.




Well 10 minutes into the interview, she told me how well I presented myself. I have to admit, going into the interview, I was "in the zone", or what I like to call, focused like Kobe. I had done my research on the company, I had mentally run through the interview in my head many times, and knew I would leave the interview leaving everything on the table.




Well, I was the first of 3 interviews and was told I would find out later tonight (my interview was at 4:30). I got a call around 7:30 telling me that I GOT THE JOB!!! I have spent so much of the past day and today being focused, I'm not even sure I know how to relax and celebrate. Seeing the happiness in my wife's eyes, made it very real to me. And yes I AM EXCITED about this. My Wife and I get to take lunches together, and carpool. I am very much in love with My Wife, and these little things mean the world to me.




Well, today is Day 21 of the EA Active 30 Day Challenge. I have lost weight and more importantly, my BMI is just dropping. I feel better and find myself with so much more energy. Well, my Wife and I are both doing it, and we have good plan that will carry us for 6 months before having to repeat anything.




Our plan (which we started day one when we got it) is to do the 30 Day Challenge on Easy, then we do 30 days of Preset and Custom Workouts (2 weeks of each); then do the 30 Day Challenge on Medium; then do 30 days of Preset and Custom on Medium; then do the 30 Day Challenge on Hard; then 30 days of Preset and Custom on Hard. Plus we're going to get wrist and ankle weights to progress as well.




Oh, to anyone that is looking for a workout to create, feel free to copy mine. This one, I promise, will make you feel it. But it is fun. It is my own CQ's Custom Boxing Training Workout. Here are screen shots of the exercises.



Feel free to send my some of your workouts to me, and I will post my other ones later on as well. I think this is a great way for the EA Active-nation to interact and to keep the game fun and always interesting!!

I'm Fired Up!!!

So I will not mention names, nor will I apologize for what I am going to say or who it offends (I’m in my “house”, front door is ALWAYS open to come in, or leave)…but as my alarm went off…ok I will stop lying, I was up ten minutes before it went off, a barrage of thoughts ran through my head like the montage part of every episode of “Phineas & Ferb” I am weeks away from wrapping up my first year as a runner. What an amazing lunar cycle it has been for me. At first I started running because I wanted, no again being honest, NEEDED to lose weight and lower my blood pressure (go to any of the blog entries from a year ago, in case you don’t know, and you’ll see why). And there is no greater calorie burner than running (as long as you are willing to push yourself, compare an hour of any exercise, and running is most effective). Turns out, along the way, I discovered Me. Weight loss isn’t, and hasn’t been, on my radar in a while. I am not sure the last time I stepped on a scale. I just kn

Where I've Been The Past Week....

Hello Everyone, Some of you may have noticed and some of you may not have, but I haven't been online, whether here, Facebook, Twitter, or Daily Mile (I have spent some time on Google+, I must admit). And that was by design...I needed some time to think to myself. Last week I happened to look at the palm of my hands and notice quite a number of dark brown spots on my palm. I know my hands and knew that these were new. Which I was suddenly seized with an uncomfortable feeling: The Unknown. I emailed Damary, who helped me find a dermatologist and I called and they booked me for a week later (today), which if anyone who has been a new patient knows being seen this soon is both a blessing and usually a sign of urgency by the Doctor's office. Now mind you, a couple of weeks prior, I had started feeling crummy. So much so, I had told Damary if I kept feeling this way, I was willingly calling the doc to set up an appointment. So I went in today, having made the mistake of searching sym

Kentucky Derby Marathon Write-Up

So surprisingly, I slept through the night, Friday night. When the alarm went off, Saturday morning, I felt very rested and ready….Ready because I was on the verge of fulfilling a dream, and had put in the training. I grabbed my Superman shirt which I had the girls put there handprints in paint on, my Mile Dedication List that a dear friend of mine had made for me, my Power Balance Band, my Garmin, and put those one, and finished getting dressed. Damary and I knew that her and the girls weren’t going to be able to see me start, it was easier if they dropped me off, then she would go home with the girls (Lord knows they would have MORE than enough time to have a normal day before coming back to see me finish). As we pulled up and Damary was pinning my number on, one of my Daily Mile and Facebook friends, Wendy Bell, yells, “Hey Superman!” and introduced herself to me and Damary, which was nice to immediately see a friendly face. I then made my way, with all of the other runners to the S
