Well, this weekend went well on the Chuck the Chunk challenge. I have been very fateful to my diet. I have not cheated (or used any PEDs) but my people are calling A-Rod’s people to get the hook-up. Oh I have been tempted over these last few weeks, but when temptation calls, I grab a few  baby carrots, and do some …

Just a quick heads-up… DaddyNewbie.com is a part of the #SuperMilkMan “Meet the Rock” contest. We, here at Daddy Newbie Studios, are in pre-production mode for a $150-million budget (minus the $150 million) Instagram video. It will include awesome CGI dinosaurs from Industrial Light & Magic (crayon drawings from my son), epic sound effects from Skywalker Sound (well, maybe more like: …

Well I have been lazy on my posting, but I have not been lazy on my diet or exercise for Chuck the Chunk. This post represents days 10 and 11, and it is slowly getting easier, as I’ve settled into a routine. I’m getting used to my diet, and I’m battling through my massive cravings. Speaking of cravings, I think my …

Starbucks sent me some of Via instant-coffee packets to review, and I have to say I’m not usually a huge fan of coffee. But, since my son was born, I find myself drinking it more frequently. It’s got to be a mainstay for most parents, particularly if you have a baby-toddler-2-year-old. The Starbucks Via coffee packets are great for those …

So, I went camping this past Monday. I made a checklist of things we would need. In the end, all I really needed was an Ark. It rained extremely hard over the 2-day period. A water-logged son-and-dad combo do not make for a great buddy bonding moments. We ended up spending a lot of time in the back end of …

Well, Day 09 of Chuck the Chunk is in the books and the weigh-in went well. I started last week at 260 lbs. At weight-in last night, I am at 256 lbs.–with a loss of 4 pounds. I am pretty happy with that–as eating the foods on this diet are lacking the yummy, and the workouts have kicked my butt. …

Ok, well, this is day 07 and 08, as I was camping. We did a little hiking, but mostly lived in the rain. I should have packed the Ark instead of my tent. This is going to be short and sweet, unlike my awesome camping trip–with little sleep, eats and a solid lack of a good time. Until tomorrow my …
