I’m gonna Hustle

On February 26, 2006, I’ll be climbing 94 floors to the top of the John Hancock Center, here in Chicago. This year’s Hustle sold out in a matter of a few hours, and I was lucky to get in. There are so many people who want to clmb stairs in high altitudes, all in support of the American Lung Association. If you’d like to sponsor me in my climb (make it interesting with a per-step amount!), please use the link below!

The Degerberg Academy, where I’m learning “blended” martial arts, ain’t too shabby for a place no one’s heard of. Check out the article in today’s Chicago Tribune Magazine:

You get used to it

Today marks the 600th day I’ve kept a food log. Yep, 600 days. Not all in a row – there was a few months in there that I either didn’t care or couldn’t or what not. But it’s been the best way I’ve found to eat better.

The first time I tried it was for a health class that I took by correspondence in high school. I think I took the class via correspondence because I was otherwise overbooked. It was pretty easy stuff, but for one unit I had to write down everything I ate. Wow, does that change things. (Being held accountable will do that.) I’ve been applying that logic for 600 days now! (With regular off days, of course. Everything in moderation, of course, including moderation.)
