Where did I go?
Friends, Thank you for coming back despite my horid blogging habits. It turns out that I suck at blogging. It doesn’t matter why I’ve missed posting, what does matter is how I plan on approaching this blog for the time being. I started this blog hoping to document my 12 week journey on the Body-For-Life [...]
Day 7 Recap
Wheee! A week has gone by and it’s been great so far. Day 7 went well. I ate everything I was supposed to eat and nothing I wasn’t. We had salmon for dinnerand it was awesome! I get a larger portion of fish and so I felt satisfied but not gross when dinner was over. [...]
Day 3 – 6 Recap
Blogging every day is harder than I thought. Sorry for the inconsistency. Days three and four went well with no turning from my current goals. I stuck to my meal plan for both days with no trouble. I have, however, wanted to eat ridiculous amounts of popcorn and Rasinets while watching a movie or two. [...]
Harder Than I Thought
No, Body For Life is not harder than I thought. It’s plenty hard, but I expected that. Blogging on a daily basis is hard as you can see from my sporadic Daily Recap postings. Day three through six are missing posts, I know. But I am keeping track and will post soon. Right now I [...]
Geek Brain: Lumosity
Brain health has become increasingly important to me in recent months. I’ve come to realize that I don’t use mine nearly as much as I could. Several months ago I received an invitation to join the beta testing program for a website called Lumosity. Lumosity provides brain exercising games via Flash and tracks your progress [...]
Day 2 Recap
Day two went much better. It started with an intense cardio workout on the stationary bike. I think my legs are still burning. I definitely reached level 10 today and my energy levels were up all day and they carried me nicely to my sleep at around 11:30 p.m. I did not stray from today’s [...]
Day 1 Recap
Day one is behind me. 83 days to go until I have completed Body For Life’s 12 week challenge. This will be the first of many recaps. The point of these recaps is to help me keep track of how I exercised and what I ate.
My Body For Life
The main reason that I started this blog is to journal my experience with the Body For Life training and eating program. My wife and I read and implemented Eating For Life a few years ago and had great success. This time around, however, we are including the exercise program as well as making the [...]
Confessions of a Fat Kid (Adult)
I was a skinny kid up until nine years old when something, I’m not sure what, happened. I started getting air tanks (love handles didn’t seem appropriate at the time) and a gut. Man boobs came shortly thereafter. Over the years I found myself more and more immersed in the life of a fat kid. [...]
Alow me to introduce…myself.
My name is Eric Granata and this is my first real attempt at a blog. This blog will not focus on my family, funny videos I saw or photos from the zoo. For that you can visit ericgranata.com. This purpose of this blog is to document my quest for a body that is strong, fit [...]
