“What diet did you use to lose 105 lbs?”. I get this all the time. Here’s the truth… I DON’T know. When I started my own transformation, I remember starting on a Wednesday. Sure, everyone else starts on a Monday, but I’ve never understood that. But I do remember that the first day of the new year started on […]…
Last night, my wife and I went out with my buddy from high school and his wife to a Braves game. When they started the “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” song, I felt like a kid. It was great to unplug and have some “game food” without guilt. It was a big DOUBLE burger from the legendary […]…
The stage was set. A woman, clearly older than everyone else in a contest but still wanting a shot claimed to the world that she wanted to be a professional singer to the judges.

No way – beef nachos (I even ask for extra cheese), plus more chips and salsa than I can […]…
The number #1 question I get about my infatuation with pancakes is, “Mikey, how many pancakes do you eat when you cheat?” The truth is that it varies, but my record… shamefully, is 13. I ate 13 pancakes drenched in syrup after the Peachtree Road Race in 2011. But that is not my norm – however, I did eat […]…
