I’ve wrote about this before and even took shots at the idea one has to keep a food log to lose weight. While I think it is a good idea, I also think it is easy to eyeball the food one eats all the time and stay on the straight and narrow [path]. Well lets talk [...] Welcome to the new decade (2010)! I saw an encouraging report here, that stated that while Americans have not gotten skinnier, we have leveled off of the increasing obesity! That is good news! Starting my third year of recent fitness aspirations, I have high hopes to continue what was successful last year – weight loss! If [...] I remember as a young man watching a MacDonald’s commercial about how you could still feed a family of 10 for about $10! I was amazed by this but sure enough a hamburger, small fries and a small coke cost under $1. When I left home at age 17, I ended up living on tips (I was a [...] I am very happy to announce that the eating season, for me, is beginning Tuesday, September 29! It is my 8th year wedding anniversary (second time around)! What do I mean the eating season has begun for me? Well that will be the subject of this post as well as my goals and progress for this “season.”
I’ve been watching TV lately and have this Baskin & Robbins commercial in my head, you know the one about ice cream and cake! Well yesterday I took a day off of the diet but worked my tail off. I put in a patio beside our front porch in the heat yesterday. My wife fed me well [...] I have taken most of this last week off from exercising because I over did it again. I ran my incline hike-runs on Sunday and Monday (Monday was the 4th day in a row) and noticed my legs felt like rubber on Monday’s run. I got really light-headed too so I only ran the first [...] It is kind of funny in a cynical way, the doctor told me a couple of weeks ago when I went if for a cold – that I had high blood pressure! As I have been battling my weight up and down, I’ve noticed that the blood pressure rises with the weight. Well I was told [...] Have you noticed that people seem to cling to diets like they do to religion? Now I do not mean to impune religion importance in one’s life, only to point out that to many people – there is only one way to lose weight! Whether it be hi-carb, low-fat, high-protein, and yes even high-fat diets, [...] One of the items you may want consider if you have made the decision to go on a diet is keeping track of whatever measure you are tracking. In the old days before all of these new fangled diets – all one had to do is count calories. A doctor would simply put a patient [...] I knew today was not going to be a great day for my diet (or lack of one lately) because I did not feel like making my lunch this morning. Instead I packed my credit card and headed off to Burger King for lunch. Before I got there I was trying to talk myself out [...] What you may be wondering is a pre-new-years resolution? Well it is my attempt to counter the good meals and lack of regular workouts I have had since I’ve moved. I have made gains in my progress (I mean GAINS) so I am now 240 pounds (up from 224 pounds at the beginning of September). So if I [...] I was searching youtube and I found this old 1985 Grapefruit 45 Diet commercial. Wow… Do you remember them? The one I fell for asked the question, “Do you know anyone that ate 2 (or 3) grapefruits a day and did not lose weight?” I could not answer the question (and figured that it must be a [...] Plateau’s are hard to deal with for any dieter but mountains (my term for my present state) are even harder. What got me here? I would like to say it was not my fault but I moved a couple of months back and got used to eating on the run again. I did not eat my [...] As I was working out tonight I had a thought… I have lost 35 pounds in about 33 weeks since the beginning of the year! Wow! That sounds like I am losing about one pound a week. Many diets would like to claim such a weight loss per week. But most often I have observed [...] This is just a quick note to say I have lost 35 pounds so far since the beginning of the year. I am now 225 pounds! I’m multitasking right now so no sage wisdom or wit but rather just the pure joy at achieving another few pounds! I only have 11 more pounds to go [...] |
