2023 New Year’s Resolutions

Posted on 1 January 20231 January 2023 by Alan

Happy New Year! May 2023 be the best year ever for you and yours. Right or wrong, illogical or not, New Year’s Day is a good time to make resolutions. Yeah, maybe it is an excuse to procrastinate (e.g. Why didn’t you start doing X or Y months ago?) Maybe we are setting ourselves up…

Shoveling Snow

Posted on 31 December 202231 December 2022 by Alan

If I keep posting like this, you’ll think I am just a marketing arm for The Athlete District, but… Late May of 2021, I snapped the patella tendon on my left knee. Since then, shoveling snow wasn’t a possibility…and probably on the dangerous side. Until recently, after being a member of The Athlete District and…

How Do You Want to Be Remembered?

Posted on 30 December 202231 December 2022 by Alan

Today’s Bible reading (2 Chronicles 12-34) had, within it, a study in contrasts. First, a king of Judah dies: 18 After all this, the LORD afflicted Jehoram with an incurable disease of the bowels. 19 In the course of time, at the end of the second year, his bowels came out because of the disease, and he…

“Now to Him…”

Posted on 26 December 202231 December 2022 by Alan

“Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.” Jude 24-25 (ESV)

Want a feel good, incredibly touching movie? Just watched this film with my wife (“A Man Called Ove”): Might be the best movie I’ve seen all year.

“Why Do Many Developers Consider Scrum to Be an Evil Scam?”

Posted on 7 December 2022 by Alan

I’m hoping to keep this blog a positive zone, so I’m hoping this doesn’t go against that. However, if you, like me, think it is important to try have it so others can find joy at work and your company is using Scrum, then… “Why Do Many Developers Consider Scrum to Be an Evil Scam?”…

You Think You Exercise Hard?

Posted on 7 December 2022 by Alan

Earlier this year I became a member of The Athlete District, and I just uploaded this video to have them check my form. (They are on vacation this week, so we have to do exercise at home.) This will give you an idea of just how intense the workouts are: (Cross-posted on my Nibbles Ninja…

Why We Love the Church slide 1

“Why We Love the Church”

A friend of mine (who is also a pastor in Florida), Steve Camp, posted six images of “Why We Love the Church.” I asked permission to repost them, and he said yes. So, here are the slides along with the Scripture references as a bonus. 🙂 (All Bible quotations from the English Standard Version.) Firstly,…

30 Days of Python

As I suggest in “And It Begins…,” you and I can do anything for 30 days. Although I’ve already missed a couple days (once because I forgot on a day I just couldn’t get a Mastodon server set-up…and once ’cause I was staying up late already making sure I didn’t fail again :-)), back on Saturday,…

Scripture verse

“For I am sure…”

Posted on 27 November 2022 by Alan

For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. – Romans 8:38-39 (ESV)

Scott Adams' happiness formula

Scott Adams’ Happiness Formula

Posted on 30 October 202229 November 2022 by Alan

Although I would put this “happiness formula” first… But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well (Matthew 6:33, NIV). …this one from Scott Adams (in How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big) seems pretty good: Recapping the happiness formula: Eat right….

Protest Pink Wednesdays

Short version… In my group circuit class, Wednesdays used to be recover day. They stopped that last week. So, as a result, I now wear Protest Pink each Wednesday. 🙂 The owners of The Athlete District took this photo of me this morning: (Cross-posted on my Nibbles Ninja blog.)

6 Weeks Challenge Complete, 7.7 Pounds Down

Posted on 15 October 202229 November 2022 by Alan

I completed The Athlete District‘s 6 Week Challenge, ending up 7.7 pounds down, and in better shape. These before and after pictures don’t do justice to what their challenge accomplished (especially since the side shot wasn’t at the same angle): It may not be obvious, but the belly is smaller. 🙂 (And, my muscles are…

Day 1: 251.1 Pounds

I started a weight loss program with The Athlete District today. Six weeks of exercise, macro-focused dieting, and ample rest. Sadly, I am at 251.1 lbs to start. We’ll see where we are in six weeks. Oh, and I have to say their example recipes are pretty darn good. 🙂 Finally, these are my “before”…
