First Post!

This is it!  I’m finally starting a fitness blog.  This has been a dream of mine for years, and after watching my wife develop a successful mommy blog,  I’m honestly a little jealous.  I’ll be bringing you fitness tips that I see online, and reviews of fitness products I buy or receive from manufacturers.  I’m a fitness gadget nut and given my current job analyzing data for eight hours a day, I come home and analyze my workout data too! 

I’ve become a fitness nut since the birth of my son in 2008.  At that time, I was close to 240 pounds, sluggish, and ugly (well, maybe the ugly part has not changed ;-).  Even though, I am not in peak shape (yet), I sure have started working hard at it.  Currently, I’m around 200 pounds, and I attribute the success to gadgets, gimmicks, and of course the internet.  Just learning what is out there, and keeping it fun helps tremendously with staying active.

I hope you will find my blog posts entertaining, as well as informative.  Please join me on a lifetime journey into the world of fitness… or as I like to view it, a high quality of life, longevity, happiness, parenting, and trying to look good for your spouse.
