If I am being honest, I haven’t made any extensive progress on my diet and exercise realm. It has been one area of my life of near complete neglect. With the beautiful Florida weather this time of year, 80 degrees and next to no humidity factor, I hope to improve this. I have cleaned out … Continue reading SG Workout Plan Recap Month 3

Lax.Bball.Lax.Repeat
For the President’s Day weekend we had plenty of sporting events to keep us occupied. On Friday evening, we supported the local high school varsity Lacrosse team, and our assistant Coach for our 12U team (Coach Gaby—who plays Defense for the HS team, pictured below).

Lacrosse 2.0: Coaching ECG and all girls 12U
It is the most insane feeling coaching again after a 15 year hiatus from Lacrosse and playing/coaching. Back in the day, I played goalkeeper for girls lacrosse. I played in HS and College, and after college spent some time coaching. I was never the most in shape, or the fastest kid. But I played with … Continue reading Lacrosse 2.0: Coaching ECG and all girls 12U
Chilly and Productive in NE Florida
It is a dreary, rainy day here in Northeast Florida. Despite the weekend’s crummy weather, I am in good spirits, and rather productive for a Sunday morning. This weekend I caught up on several loads of clean, unfolded laundry, cleaned several rooms in the house (including the massive dumpster fire of Hazel’s room), cooked a … Continue reading Chilly and Productive in NE Florida
B-ball Game nights
Ella had a late night Thursday evening game yesterday with Upwards Basketball. Hazel also had cheer practice at the same time. I love watching Ella trying new sports. She is still learning, especially the quick transitions of the game. She excels as a defender and rebounding. Sometimes there is a struggle for her to get … Continue reading B-ball Game nights

Quarantined, Overstimulated and Awake in Orange Park.
Since 1.10.22 the Grants have been quarantining from a Covid positive test starting with Ella. Today, a week and a half later, she is now negative but the others in the house are still positive. Super exciting. I must add that we are very lucky to have only had very mild symptoms. In the midst … Continue reading Quarantined, Overstimulated and Awake in Orange Park.
What is my why?
I have been struggling with how to begin this essay for graduate applications this weekend. In one application it is called a statement of purpose. I have been mostly ruminating rather than producing anything. When speaking in individual therapy this week my therapist and I were discussing the application process, but more than that, more … Continue reading What is my why?
Conquering the storms
“The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.” -Nelson Mandela I decided some time ago to start this path of graduate school. For many, this decision might not have such a profound effect. Or at least, not as many trials as I am simply having in … Continue reading Conquering the storms

It read: “Getting lost along your path is a part of finding the path you are meant to be on.” On taking those steps…along my path….I find myself now prepared with the correct equation of fortitude, passion and hope to move towards a … Continue reading Step.

WK 3-4 SG Workout Plan
Just checking in really. Today I made dozens of Christmas cookies with the girls. And maybe for the first time in my life, did not eat any dough, or gorge myself on cookies. I ate two finished cookies, one peanut butter thumbprint (with rolos not hersheys kisses), and one chocolate chip cookie. The past couple … Continue reading WK 3-4 SG Workout Plan
Roadblocks and Holiday Prep
As the Christmas season briskly approaches, I am just doing my best to keep up. I have had some major setbacks with my physical pain levels, mostly in my lower back.
