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 [...]
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 was thinking today on my run that I have been thinner longer than I have been fatter. How come my body image is of a fat man rather than a thin man? I mean if I start thinking that I am too thin – won’t that kick-off a eating binge?
It was the weirdest thing [...]
I’ve had to be more creative as the garage is full and I cannot get to my weight bench (that has been collecting dust for years). Part of what I’ve been doing this week has been strength training.
I am doing about half body-weight and half dumbbells. In this post I’ll talk about the exercises that are working [...]
I am happy to report that I feel well enough to start up my training again. The last time I worked out was Sunday, November 8th. I did a nice run but was kind of interrupted by finding an iPhone. I had to stop and try and find the owner from his call list. That [...]
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 [...]
When I was younger and my metabolism was seemingly supercharged, I did not ponder differences between appetite and hunger! They were the same in my teens and early twenties. I was an active boy/man and ate until I was full.
I also had the habit of wolfing down my food and since I always cleaned my [...]
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 [...]
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.”
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’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 [...]
Today I’ll update my progress and speak about how important going back to basics is whenever your plan is not seemingly working. This week I have not worked out as much but did longer workouts. It seems that the temperature out in east San Diego County has made it too hot to workout on my [...]
Last month I was inducted into the Kenpo International Hall of Fame in Chicago, IL. For those of you who do not know, karate is and has been my first love most of my life. Here is a link to that story on my other blog. Let me just say it was quite an honor [...]
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 [...]
