Happy Anniversary

Linkedin informed me and a lot of my friends that it is my one year anniversary of working at Koko FitClub. I can’t believe it’s been a year. When I think back to last August when I first started at Koko, and I look at myself one year later, I’m astounded.

A Bucket For My Birthday

Birthdays, as birthdays go for most people, are not something we like to discuss unless you’re in grade school or about to be able to get a driver’s license or be allowed to drink legally. After that birthdays are not well-received. The first feared birthday is the 30th one. This one leaves childhood far behind . . . → Read More: A Bucket For My Birthday

The Pornographication of Fitness

This Huff Post article graced my newsfeed this morning and piqued my interest because of my belief in the seriousness of exercise and muscle building at any age. Tosca Reno answers the question Why do I need to exercise? better than anyone I’ve read. And not only for women. Men take heed, too. It’s not . . . → Read More: The Pornographication of Fitness

Work=Part of Life

I use Bloglovin’ to follow all the blogs that I’m interested in. That way I don’t miss any posts. Once in awhile Bloglovin’ emails me a list of new blogs I might enjoy.

This time it said 60 pounds. I felt my face make a what! expression. A little fear surged through me. A . . . → Read More: Potential

In The Zone

Another New Year’s resolution accomplished. I’m in my Koko Fit Zone. My e-BMI is 28.2, putting me right smack in the middle of my zone meter. Starting out at 31.8 over a year ago, I never thought this day would come. I’m back to the fit body I retired with and then let slip . . . → Read More: In The Zone

Amazing Day!

This morning I took a strength test at the Mashpee Koko. When I got the results I also most fell over. I had a strength increase of 89%! Who does that? That’s insane! I brought my Q score (a measure of overall progress) from what thought was an amazing 61 – to – get this: . . . → Read More: Amazing Day!

Avalanche

Some days seem like an avalanche. You know the kind – where one thing happens right after another and it doesn’t let up until you climb into bed. Most of my days are avalanche days, now. Just look at today. I left the house at 7am to be at work in the Harwich Koko at . . . → Read More: Avalanche
