Change in weight (10/27/20 – 11/02/20): -1.4 LBS Last week was a tough week. I was coming to grips with the fact that I had been in a slump of mind, spirit, and body for a few weeks. Sometimes the hardest part is recognizing it and admitting it. At least once you do that, you …
the highlight of my week was this view Sunday morning Change in weight (10/19/20 – 10/26/20): +0.8 LBS Sorry for the late post, I broke a crown on my tooth in half today so that derailed my plans... I am a very positive person who often sees the glass as half full. I also try …

Change in weight (10/13/20 – 10/19/20): -1.0 LBS Another week and another pound. This makes 4 pounds in 4 weeks. I will take that all day, every day. Or all year! I am getting back into some strength work (I know... I've said that before). My sister and I have been trading texts of when …

Change in weight (10/6/20 – 10/12/20): -1.0 LBS I ate myself to true pain and uncomfort on Saturday. This week, with a pound lost, does not feel deserved, but I will take it. Saturday was a celebration with a barbecue spread, and although I didn't pile on my plate, I couldn't finish. I went to …

I recently told you all about how I was prepping to run a 5k. Yesterday morning I set out at dawn to do it and I did! This was huge for me, but I'll get back to that. I did this 5k to support research for Parkinson's Disease, which does not have a cure. I …

My wife and I went away, without our daughter, for the first time since she was born (2 years in a week). This, my friends, felt weird. But, it was really nice. It was nice …

My selfie game is weak. Somebody coach me. This morning I got out a dawn to do a prep run for my 5k and to map out my route. I had one goal that satisfied two ends for me. I wanted to run about 2/3 of a 5k to see how it felt and I …
https://foxtrot.michaeljfox.org/fox-trot-virtual/Benjamincrosby Change in weight (9/15/20 – 9/21/20): +0.2 LBS This week was surprisingly difficult. I think all around, it was an emotional dud. I did not feel great (mentally), only a couple workouts felt good, and I just wanted to eat. My appetite was on fire... and not the appetite because I need to sustain. …

Yea, I know. I have one workout look. I don't know how to smile or look at a camera when I'm breathless. What is success? The Webster's dictionary calls it [attaining] a favorable or desired outcome.
