People often approach me and say, “Matt, you’re a great writer. Reading your blogs and Facebook posts has inspired me. I want to start a blog!” Obviously, that’s not true. But I wish it was. Not because I need an ego boost (though that’s nice every once in awhile); I want people to blog because […]
Of all the words I’d use to describe myself, “sentimental” would rank pretty high on the list.

Those three things intersect more than you’d think. When you’ve been married awhile and have young kids at home, you take date […]
Matt: Day 2 Exercise At Home Weight: 199 lbs I decided to do something a little different today. Instead of doing one of the darebee.com workouts we have, I decided to arms and abs. Emma’s mom gave us some weights so I did bicep and tricep curls. Since it was raining this morning, Emma couldn’t […]
Matt: Day 2 Run 5 minute warm-up, alternate running one minute and walking for 90 seconds, 5 minute cool down Weight: 196 lbs Today was my first early run. It was pretty dark and…I may have tripped a time or two. The sidewalks around my neighborhood are kind of uneven. My toe caught the edge […]
