Ok, maybe famous is a bit “over the top”…but I have the great honor of hav­ing the one and only Miz­Fit from mizfitonline.com pro­file me over at her site today!  She asks the tough ques­tions.  I attempt to answer in some pro­found way (ok, that’s “over the top” too…).  You’ll just have to go check it out here!  If noth­ing else, browse around her site, she is a wealth of health and fit­ness infor­ma­tion. And, fun to read!!  Thanks, MizFit!

    I’d be pretty excited, too, if I were fea­tured on MizFit’s site! She rocks! :)

    I liked what you said in your inter­view, so I thought I’d come over here and tell you so. I’ll def­i­nitely be adding your blog to my feed reader. I like how you look at things with so much perspective…very cool. :)

    Hi Lance — I loved the inter­view. I like the way you described your­self as skinny-fat. But some of the things you eat are way weird.

    great inter­view! You deserved the spot­light. Your site con­tin­ues to inspire me and forces me to think about the deeper issues and bless­ings in my life. I can tell how much of your­self you put into each post! Have a great week­end ;)

  5. Mazel Tov! I’m look­ing for­ward to the day that I become famous on some­one else’s blog. Enjoy the shin­ing moment.

  6. I agree with Annette. You deserve the spot­light. Your blog is really orig­i­nal and the top­ics you cover, thought pro­vok­ing. I will be head­ing over to mizfit’s site to see the interview.

    In the mean time, keep up the good work!

    Thanks for let­ting us know about this inter­view. It was great to learn more about you.

    I have to say I’m impressed with your 18 mile bike rides, but more impressed with the broc­coli, corn flakes and honey mus­tard!! :)

  11. Hi Lance,

    This is a favorite quote of mine. It reminds me to leave the past where it belongs, try to live in the moment, and look to the future with excitement.

    Con­grat­u­la­tions on the honor. I’ve headed over to Miz­Fits to read your answers.

    @Jennifer — Your wel­come! The bike rides are fun!!! The broc­coli — it really tastes deli­cious. I even got my kids to eat it — and that’s no small task! In fact, they think of me as the “chicken and broc­coli” guy…and I don’t think they mean it in a com­ple­men­tary way!!

    @MizFit — What can I say — you rocked my world today — you’re awe­some!!! The quote — that is deep — on this day, of all days — wow! Hey, I say — don’t ever grow up…and about doing the q & a — I really can’t thank you enough! Thanks again for mak­ing this day a great one!

    @Rarestone — An auto­graph, now you’re reaaaally mak­ing me feel famous!! I con­sider myself very lucky that I was ‘cho­sen’ by MizFit!!

  21. Hi Lance, that was nicely done … I found it very inspir­ing (you lost 50 pounds in 8 months, wow!) and it’s a great way to get to know you bet­ter. :) This is also my first visit to Mizfit’s site … it’s cool!

  24. Tammy Warren says:

    Way to go Lance! 50 pounds in 8 months is a great deal. I am get­ting there slow and steady. It was the get­ting started again that was hard for me. 18 mile bikes rides…that might take some time for me.

    Have a great week!

    Tammy War­rens last blog post..A change for me

  25. Lance says:

    Tammy — Thanks! Slow and steady is good — it’s more likely to last. Start­ing can be the hard­est part, and then once you get going, you’ve got momen­tum on your side.

  26. Rachel says:
