Fat Pastor Friday: The Turkey Trot

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and rewarded yourself a little bit (but not to much) with some turkey and cranberry sauce.

Fat Pastor Friday: Falling off the wagon

A few weeks ago I hurt my hip while I was running. It took me about 3 weeks before I could run again and even then I could only run about 1/3 of what I used to. That was very frustrating for me and made me not want to do it because I knew what [...]

Fat Pastor Friday: 5 ways to eat healthy in a hurricane

Alright I’ll admit it, I’m a little worried about the hurricane we are supposed to get hit with this weekend. I bought a ton of batteries, got my first aid kit out, lined up the candles, put gas in the car, and all that was left was to stock up on food and water, so [...]

Have you ever been to a sporting event and you see “that guy” the one with every piece of team swag imaginable; the hat, the shirt, the pants, the sweatshirt, the socks, the shoes, the key ring, etc?
