Did not know what to expect today. We were ready to go early on a beautiful Saturday but most of the wineries don't open till noon. Seemed a bad idea on a long holiday weekend but what can you do? What we did was just hop in the car and cruise. We ended up in... Continue Reading →
Travelling by Twos
So for the holiday weekend I and the Lady in my Life decide to get away for a little together time. Since she spent most of the first third of the year in St. Louis it's just a little make up time for us. We decided to explore the wine country of northeastern Ohio.... Continue Reading →
Time to Get Real – Week of May 20
OK this is a bad news/good news week. The bad news is that I back slid a little. I know that this is normal and I'm not making myself crazy about it but I had been on a little bit of a roll so I'm disappointed. Here's the good news. For a variety of reasons... Continue Reading →
Time to Get Real – Week of May 13
This is almost spooky. I'm on a streak of stress filled weeks. Just a lot of stupid things that are bound and determined to make my life unpleasant. Traditionally that is just death for any kind of weight loss or exercise. Plus I've eaten out a couple times where I also have a tough time.... Continue Reading →
Time to Get Real – Week of May 6
My apology for the sudden disappearance. Although to be honest these posts are more for my own accountability than anything else. But events have kept me from staying accountable. It's been a busy couple weeks with lots of travelling and work and other assorted excitement. The problem is that those kinds of events can... Continue Reading →
Time to Get Real – Week of March 22
They say that virtue is its own reward. Well bad behavior tends to be self punishing. Ate badly. Probably could have gotten away with one or two bad meals. Five bad meals later and I put some weight back on. Edged just back over that obscenity deleted threshold again. But we won't be there long.... Continue Reading →
Time to Get Real – Week of March 15
I was ready. Ready to back slide again. This had been a tough week. My schedule was totally disrupted, the exercise routine had been a mess. Plus this was an emotional week with my daughter moving out of the house for her first full time job. Emotional eating was going to be a problem. Sigh.... Continue Reading →
Time to Get Real – Week of March 8
Sigh. So I guess I should be encouraged. I survived a week surrounded by Easter candy (which I ate, let's be honest) and it's been a rather down week emotionally for me. And despite that I didn't gain a pound. At the same time I didn't lose any either. I keep hoping to get through... Continue Reading →
Time to Get Real
Knew this could be a tough week. My wife has been away for a while (job related) and was coming home for a weekend visit. PLUS it's Easter. Too much eating out. Too much candy around to tempt me. This could be ugly. And it wasn't. I kept up my exercise routine and tried to... Continue Reading →
Time to Get Real
This is going to be short because I'm home sick today. But the intent was to start being more intention about this weight loss thing. Not sure how I did it this week (I did get lots of exercise but my eating was not optimal) but I dropped 4 pounds. Which puts me back at... Continue Reading →
