Time flies...

So it's been 3+ months since I posted anything and my Mom didn't even call!
I can only assume my absence from the "blogsphere" was unnoticed.

Why has it been 3 months?  Busy - very busy
In late October I took a full time position on the Management of the club that I train people out of in Pittsburgh.  And I maintained my personal training schedule so I ended up putting 70+ hours in a week + my on-line clients etc....
As a result my blogging, my own training, my eating etc... took a distant 10th place to everything else.

Time to right the ship and get back on track

Dietary work - too much sugar!
The single hardest thing for me to avoid in my diet is sugar.
But it needs to be kept in check so this will be my main dietary focus for now.

That's it for now
