This last year as been very successful for me as I have had the support of many bloggers out there who have help to crystallize my thoughts and processes for MY weight (read FAT) loss! While most of the blogs have inspired, there have been a few that have resonated with me to rattle my [...]

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 [...] A lot has happened in the past few weeks since my last update. The not so good but expected – right before my mother-in-law stayed with us I had regained my weight loss but then lost ground again. We had the snack attacks before Halloween and were entertaining a lot of family before my wife’s [...] Trick or treat to all of you in cyberspace! In the context of this blog, the trick would actually be commonly referred to as the treat and the treat would be more of a trick! What the heck am I talking about? Well now if weight (fat) loss is your goal then a trick would be [...] One the the things I remember I could do when I was a teenager was pretty much anything I wanted to physically! I mean I could jump off of rooftops, do long distance swimming, run barefoot for miles through canyons. Why I even learned how to catch Voles barehanded in poison oak (without getting the [...] I have been working out more often than not and more importantly following my diet. Read “diet” as the way of eating that is both reducing my caloric intake and I can live with for life. Simply calling this my diet is an easier way of saying this. This last week was good for me. I [...] I am no different than anyone else that has had weight issues since high school. I used to be a quite active fellow that participated in all kinds of sports including scuba diving, hang gliding, rock hopping, and even karate! As many know that read this blog, karate has been my lifetime love as well [...] It is kind of funny but I accidentally ended up climbing Fortuna Mountain yesterday. You see I have not been working out much this week as it has been stressful at work and my oldest son (25 years old) had an operation this week (he’s fine). I did get in one session [...] I have been touting the benefits of fitness lately because after writing the post entitled, “Is there a best diet?” I have been just watching my calorie intake. Fitness is one way for your body to realize there is life away from the couch! When I was doing full contact karate training, I used to jump [...] The Samurai were known for their swordsmanship but to learning, took many years. One of the martial arts I am considering learning is Kendo, a Japanese sword fighting. While Kendo does not practice with real Samurai swords, it is still intense training, that can take years to master. Swordsmanship like boxing or karate, has ancillary fitness [...] Welcome to the new year – I trust you all have figured out your plan going into 2009. Generally we take stock of the previous year and try to do more of what worked last year and less of what flopped. On that vein I am going to explore what worked and what did not [...] Back in October I had bought a Walmart “Next Nitro” mountain bike. Well that bike lasted three weeks before the rear frame spring and rear sprocket busted. I realized it was not made for anyone that planned on using the bike so I took it back for a full refund. I found a Schwinn website and found [...] I just read a heart warming story on CNN here, about Karen Daniel. Here was a woman that had wrestled with weight her entire adult life. It was kind of interesting but seemingly the stress of having children were the only times she lost weight. Embedded video from CNN Video Another thing I noticed is [...] Some days I think I have it hard deciding if I want to walk the dogs, go for a hike, bike ride, or even a run but have you considered what the astronauts do for exercise? I saw a CNN story here about a new exercise gym the space station is getting. Astronauts have to workout [...] I found a report of a study in Science Daily here, that seems to tout the benefits of even one exercise session increased the body’s ability to burn (oxidize) fat! Whereas overeating tended to increase the body’s sensitivity to insulin (decreasing the ability to use fat). Here is a quick video talks about the role [...] |
