Wow, I can't believe that it's been a year (truthfully a year was a bit over a month ago) already. Apologies for failing to get a post up closer to my actual year anniversary but better late then never I suppose.

So, back in February I set a few goals:

• Continue working towards hitting the 180 pound mark
• Continue working towards hitting 20...

So it's been quite awhile since I last posted an update about my life change status. I should have done this shortly after Christmas but just never got around to it. Better late then never I suppose.

Back in September I had met my initial goals so I set some new ones (aiming for a completion by Christmas). These were to get to 180 pounds and 20...

Let me just start this out by saying this – I don't like eggs.

With that out of the way, lets get to the nitty gritty. Since starting this life change, roughly 8 months ago I have cleaned up my breakfast options. My go to breakfast used to be a sausage biscuit (sometimes two) from McDonald's. Today my go to breakfast is scrambled eggs with cheese...

So as of late, on nights after I've hit the gym, my current favorite bedtime snack has been a chocolate protein shake that also has some peanut butter (more protein and tasty too) and a handful of blueberries. Without further ado, here is the recipe:

• 12 ounces of Almond milk
• 1 scoop of your preferred chocolate protein powder (for me this is...

So as part of this life change I've been playing around with different, healthier snacks that are high in protein. I know plain greek yogurt is already high in protein and good for you, but plain yogurt is just disgusting by itself. It occurred to me that I could maybe make chocolate pudding using plain greek yogurt as the base ingredient. With that...

Back in early September I decided I was going to try Bulletproof coffee after reading about it's benefits. I'll be honest, the thought of using butter in my coffee seemed pretty crazy but when I tried it I was blown away – it tasted fantastic and I was energized all morning long.

At first I started with 1 tablespoon of refined coconut oil with 1...

It has been about three months since I left PixelMEDIA to join Sitecore and I figured, with the 2014 Sitecore Symposium all wrapped up, that it was a perfect time to post about where I'm at with the goals I set back on June 27th.

A quick summary

When I set my goals I was at 220 pounds. My goals were simple, drop 20 pounds (to be at 200) by Symposium...

After 5,168 days (that's 14 years, 1 month and 27 days), today is my last day at PixelMEDIA. I don't regret, for one second, joining them way back on May 1st, 2000. At that time I was employee 27 (or 28), two of us started on the same day. Now they hover around 70 incredibly talented individuals.

A trip down memory lane

In this period of time I...
