How I did it
How to live in japan
It took me
6 months
It made me

How I did it: Well, I don't think my story will help anyone else, unless the lesson is "just do it". Basically, I was in the process of leaving my job and moving from LA to NYC, because my fiance got accepted to a school there. A good friend of mine had previously lived in Japan and now has an import business, bringing good from Japan to the U.S.  He was planning a short trip there for business, and suggested that if I were willing to split the re… Read how I did it…

How to go from vegetarian to vegan
It made me
I dig it.

How I did it: I was vegetarian for over 15 years, but eggs and dairy were an integral part of my diet.  Recently I started to learn about the ecological issues associated with non-vegan foods, and it inspired me to go the vegan route.I'm not a "strict" vegan in that I would still willingly consume foods that contain dairy and/or eggs.  But, I'm at least 99%, as I avoid those foods as much as possible without being a pain in the neck to those … Read how I did it…

How to lose 25 pounds
It took me
8 weeks
It made me
Inspired

How I did it: I started with the Master Cleanse (aka Lemonade Diet).  I lost close to 20 lbs in two weeks on this program.  I gained 5 lbs back within a few days of putting food in my digestive system.I don't recommend the MC for the weight loss that occurs during the program, as it's rapid enough to be considered unhealthy.  I tried it only because of the detoxification claims of proponents.  Although I felt great at the end of the… Read how I did it…

Motivation 2 weeks ago

I have a number of exercise and fitness related goals, but this is the first one that is blatant vanity. I usually try to avoid using vanity as a motivation. However, in my 15 year on/off relationship with fitness and nutrition, I’ve always un-admittedly wanted achieve this goal. I just realized that I’ve probably never made it happen because I never made it a goal.

So, here goes…

live in japan (read all 2 entries…)
Done. 2 months ago

I can’t believe I never updated this while I was in Japan. Anyway, I lived in Tokyo for three months, and it was a great experience. I loved it so much that I’m already planning my second stay (I use the word “planning” figuratively).

Anyway, I guess I’ll set this to done.

Earn black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu
On my way? 2 months ago

I trained in MMA at PKG in Los Angeles for about a year (actually about 6 months stretched over a one year period). But I moved to NYC this year. I just recently jumped on the opportunity to train at the famous Renzo Gracie Academy.

So, three weeks down, and ten years to go. :)
