One year ago today , I got on the scale and saw that ugly 196 pound reading. By New Year’s Eve, I had lost 46 of those pounds. The scale read 150. This morning, the scale reads 150.
Through focused, almost obsessive, attention to my diet and working out (doing CrossFit since September), I have been able to maintain a lithe 150 pound weight (some days, I’m a pound over; some days, I’m a pound under) while building functional strength since then. My next step is to buy a barbell and bumper plates to ramp my fitness training up to the next level.
A year isn’t very long, but this year feels like an eternity. That big, bulky Apollo of 2007 has given way to a lean, mean machine that sets personal bests on workouts with startling regularity.
Here are my five upcoming fitness goals.
Acquire a barbell, bumpers, gymnastic rings, a Dynamax ball, and squat stands for portable workout awesomeness.
Max the APFT by my 38th birthday.

After I returned from LoveFest 2006 on Sunday morning, I noticed a screwy kernel panic on the screen of my PowerBook G4 . So, I rebooted the machine and it worked okay. Later on Sunday, I attempted to boot it up, to no avail. I had planned to spend a couple of hours in my studio. Unfortunately, the PowerBook had other ideas.
According to the Genius Bar guy in Palo Alto, my PowerBook’s video hardware is failing. That causes kernel panic on start. The PowerBook was effectively u... more

50 weeks ago today, I landed on my face in Menlo Park . A few days ago, I got a call from Bicycle Outfitter to let me know that the repairs on the bike I crashed, my beautiful Trek 520 . It’s taken them a while. First, they had a shipping issue with the distributor of the Mavic A719 front rim. Then, there was an issue with getting the Bontrager Hard Case touring tire. But, the bicycle is finished, it’s beautiful, and I am so happy.
Putting the 520 in my bike room to sit ... more
Trying to muster my mileage again, after long periods of distraction and no desire to ride. Today, I thought I was in line to getting my 18,000th mile this week. The ride was mostly uneventful, all pathetically slow fifteen miles of it. Well, that is until my left cleat failed to hold my foot as I jumped into the pedals and hammered away from the red light at Hollenbeck Avenue in Sunnyvale. I listed right and landed on the asphalt.
I’m not badly hurt. My ribs are sore, I’ve ... more
Time Marches On From: mt-olympus.com Post Date: 2006-10-31 16:24:09
I’m sitting here right now, between jobs, pondering my life, where I’m going, what I’m doing, and what it means. This is a dangerous thing to do when you have nothing to do, you’re limerent over somebody momentarily inaccessible, and you’re down from your usual swagger.
The idea of destiny has come up a lot in my mind lately—not just surrounding the person with whom I’m smitten, but also several other aspects of my life. What am I doing with my l... more
