I've been a big fan of roast vegetables for a very long time (check out this vegetable roasting guide I shared back in 2011!), and they can be a sure bet as a side dish for any number of delicious meats too! This recipe and post were made with assistance from my own, specially designed custom low carbs, whole foods recipe helper, Wholesome Low Carb Eats GPT! To try it … [Read more...] about Roast Celery Root and Radishes – Low Carb Side Dish Recipe

Half and Half Part Two: A Kettlebell and Calisthenics Double Circuit Challenge
Somewhat against my better judgement, I've joined a gym. The weather is getting hot, "summer is coming" (no, I don't care about preparing to strut around on the beach, I just really hate hot weather). And the mosquitos are likely waiting for the earliest possible moment to start coverings me in welts. So, this year I am planning ahead with alternative workout locations that … [Read more...] about Half and Half Part Two: A Kettlebell and Calisthenics Double Circuit Challenge
A New Spin on an I-Go You-Go Kettlebell Workout Challenge!
It happens to the best of us, but recently, my workout partner and I realized that we'd kind of gotten into a rut. Both of us had been managing a particularly high level of stress, so we weren't going to be hard on ourselves about it. In the bigger picture the fact that we'd kept going was the important part, but it was time to mix things up and revisit some of our favorite … [Read more...] about A New Spin on an I-Go You-Go Kettlebell Workout Challenge!
Two Weeks of Weeknight Kettlebell Workout Challenges
There's been a little less travel here recently, which is not a bad thing! Granted, I did still manage to get in a couple of hotel-based workouts when I was in Michigan learning more about Fanuc robots and robot programming. Thankfully at that particular hotel they had an almost totally unused stairwell with just perfect I-beam grips so you know I had to take advantage of … [Read more...] about Two Weeks of Weeknight Kettlebell Workout Challenges
Hotel Gym (or nearly any handy gym) Travel Workout
This past week I had the opportunity to learn more about programming specialized automation hardware out at Opto22 in Temecula, California. Along with the amazing weather, the hotel where I stayed had a surprisingly well equipped gym. By my definition, "well equipped" means the gym includes some type of pull up bar. In this case it was the top bar of a cable machine (also … [Read more...] about Hotel Gym (or nearly any handy gym) Travel Workout
Something Fast: Descending Ladders – a Weekday Workout & a Bodyweight Travel Workout
While I usually have an "all out" challenge workout planned for the weekend, during the week I usually don't have quite as much time--or I might be traveling. Here's a couple of very recent examples--both with a descending ladder . The weekend travel example is bodyweight only, it was part of my recent long weekend in Chicago wrapped around a Monday AI event hosted at a very … [Read more...] about Something Fast: Descending Ladders – a Weekday Workout & a Bodyweight Travel Workout
Weird Weekend Challenge Workout
The schedule has been over the top lately, but that's no excuse. So, I've made a few changes to my routine. If I've gotten enough rest (which has become a bigger priority), I'd do at least one, and sometimes two *nearly* all-out sessions. Since I was in Detroit early this week (where we somehow managed to walk between 6-7 miles each day), I had to make sure this workout was a … [Read more...] about Weird Weekend Challenge Workout
Workout Logic: ChatGPT and AI Kettlebell Experiments (and some workouts to do)
Even if we don't run in the same social circles, recently it's hard to go a day without hearing some mention of AI tools such as ChatGPT and their implications for any given industry, subject of study, commercial enterprise, etc. Those who know me from "real life" also know that I've harped on the fact that we must know the "why" behind certain types of decisions etc. Buzzwords … [Read more...] about Workout Logic: ChatGPT and AI Kettlebell Experiments (and some workouts to do)
Product Review: Click and Grow Smart Garden 27
First, please understand that I have been enjoying Click and Grow Smart Gardens for now a little over two years! In that time, I've managed to grow all of the fresh herbs and most of my own salad greens. As we all know, there's this phenomenon when buying cilantro and other delicate fresh herbs - we use as much as the dish(es) call for and then the rest of it magically turns … [Read more...] about Product Review: Click and Grow Smart Garden 27
The Half and Half Challenge Workout (Outdoor Edition)
You can probably tell by the lack of regular updates on here that my schedule has been pretty full so far with 2023. The good news is I've been continuing to work out and record those workouts to use here (along with some new recipes). Some of them are just not ready for prime time yet - I like to test and polish things up before posting them here for you. The Power Hour Half … [Read more...] about The Half and Half Challenge Workout (Outdoor Edition)
