When things don't go well you have two choices. To quit or to begin again. If you choose to begin again then there has to be a starting point. Today is that. I refuse to worry about watching every calorie during the holidays. It's a time to celebrate and enjoy whatever there is to enjoy... Continue Reading →
Christmas Traditions – Presents
Christmas is such a collection of traditions. Most holidays will gradually develop traditions but I'm not sure there is one that is more prone to be "ruined" if those traditions get bent or left off for a year as Christmas. With that in mind I thought I'd share a few of ours. There are two... Continue Reading →
Time to Change – End of Year
If you follow the sad tale of my weight loss you will have noticed that I haven't posted in a while. Part of that is just reality. I don't worry a great deal about sticking to a tight plan this time of year. It's almost impossible and largely makes life unpleasant. While the last week... Continue Reading →

To wipe our enemies by any means possible. Some have gone so far as to call for the nuclear option. The... Continue Reading →
Time to Change – November 14
And then this happens. Activity was good, eating was OK. Did not expect this result. I managed to run (without stopping or walking) two miles on my mid-week workout. So this was actually a great week. You know what? I think I'll avoid over-analyzing this. And just enjoy. Next week will be tougher.... Continue Reading →
Enjoying Richmond – Some wineries
I started these posts as I explored the immediate Richmond area. There's still plenty to report and explore but I'm going to expand the actual search area. One of the things that's enjoyable about Richmond is that you're so close to so many other cool areas. So lots of potential discoveries. Halloween weekend the lady... Continue Reading →
Time to Change – November 8
Well it wasn't much, but I lost weight this week. I'll take that as a win. Continuing to pay more attention to my activity levels. The running actually continues to be OK. Ran only twice this week.

Time to Change – October31
No point in running from the truth, it wasn't a good week. Not terrible, but I didn't build on the previous week's momentum. But I have decided to focus on what is going well. The running continues to improve. I "ran" three times this week. I'm still walking part of each half mile but... Continue Reading →
