This morning I woke up and did something that I haven’t done in over 25 years… That’s right, I looked down at the scale and the first number was a 1 instead of a 2. No weird tricks – No sitting in the sauna for half an hour or going on a 40 mile ride [...]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I’m getting more boring every day… Might even make that the new subheader for the blog. It was 1500 days ago that I decided I should watch what I eat every day until I learn how to eat right and make habits I can use to [...]

Saturday mornings have been rough for me lately. I got in to a groove whence I would cut back on my food all week to have a decent weigh-in on Friday or Saturday, and then performed the life equivalent of a bonk at the beginning of every weekend. Today was no exception aside from the [...]

As mentioned before, I haven’t done anything for the last 2 weeks. Even standing up for more than an hour or walking half a block aggravated my ankle’s stitches so I did my best to keep off of it. I found it isn’t helpful to cut back my food consumption even more if I can’t [...]

6 lbs over my best weight as opposed to 20 that is… A week and a half later, and I’ve had a chance to get back to my center. Haven’t given up carbs completely, but I did eliminate all the refined stuff (aside from the scotch I’m sipping right now) and stocked up on tons [...]

I spent the weekend up at my parents house in PA, which was a good thing, but whenever I’m away I eat bad things. It isn’t so much that I eat bad things, but I eat too much. This is constant for any outing from my normal schedule. Dinner out, visits to friends, visits to [...]

Not quite, but close. I finished my math course, coasted into the holidays, vegged out for 2 or 3 days and then jumped headlong into a web dev project that I’m trying to polish off for work as quickly as possible. I’m giving them free labor in my off hours, but it’s a learning project [...]

So I was talking with the wife today, and I blurted out this cockamamy scheme I had to give me incentive to hit my next goal weight. I’d already settled on splurging on a few parts I’d really like to have, but couldn’t justify actually NEEDing in the purest sense of the word. Today I [...]

I lied about doing something fun with the next nice weekend… I was working around the house. I put a dent in the task of restoring the steel basement doors out back. It started out easy, but as I started to chip away at the years of corrosion I remembered a lesson I learned from [...]

Now comes that bloated feeling from Christmas and dinner tables. I spent a week of eating where I averaged 2500-2600 calories a day. That comes from 2 or 3 of my normal days, and 3 or 4 days of 3000-4000 calories after separate family dinners on different days. When looked at from the viewpoint of [...]
