About Me

I’m a 31-year-old father and husband living on a peninsula in Massachusetts. I have a beautiful son named Will, a gorgeous wife named MJ who is far too hot to have married me, a dog I love and two cats I put up with. I’m a smart-ass newspaper reporter with a penchant for turning a phrase and a sense of humor as dry as the Sahara.This blog is mainly about my life as a new dad, but I’m also prone to talk about marriage, sports, politics and pop culture. I’m a Boston sports fanatic and my hatred for all New York teams knows no bounds. I’m honest to a fault, prone to cross a few lines but simultaneously heartfelt and sincere. But whether I’m describing the time I manually pumped my wife’s breast while she was nursing or writing about how much my son enriches my life, the only promise I can make is I’ll update often and I can’t help but be passionate. Thanks for stopping by!

30 by 30: Week 3

Unfortunately, not much progress on the weight loss front this week. Here are the numbers:

STARTING WEIGHT: 237 lbs

CURRENT WEIGHT: 232 lbs

WEIGHT LOSS TO DATE: -5 lbs

CHEST: 43 inches (-.5 inch)

WAIST: 46.5 inches (-.5 inch)

HIPS: 47 inches (-1 inch)

I started off the week really well and went running three times. I totaled 8 miles and I’m up to running 3 miles at a time without stopping. It takes me a shade over 31 minutes to do, but I’m getting there. Unfortunately, I still haven’t made it to the gym. Running and going to the gym just got VERY difficult because MJ is back at work and I’m in charge of Will everyday. But I just have to find some time.

The biggest challenge this week was eating right. I had a lost of restaurant food and I even caved in to some dessert this week. Ice cream cake and a sundae at Cold Stone Creamery. What can I say? I’m a weak man. I managed to lose a couple of pounds and my measurements are slowly going in the right direction, but I’m pissed because I know if I want to get to 30 lbs I’m going to have to do more.

I also had some dental work done this week and it hurt like a bitch. Basically they cut some of my gums out to get to my impacted wisdom tooth to fill a small cavity. The pain was not conducive to running and exercise.

Sorry this post is so lame, but make sure you come back tomorrow for Fatherhood Friday because I’ve got a doozy planned!

Here’s this week’s humiliation.
