There is truly nothing to say about this week. Just look at the number, lol! Let's just say that...nope, I got nothin'. See you next week. Onward. My resolution remains: I want to am going to be The Guy again. The Guy weighed 175 pounds and looked good and felt good. And his blood... Continue Reading →
Time To Change – Late!
The weekend kind of got away from me! Followed up a surprise great week with a less than great one. But OK. Lots of little things. A temporary change in the schedule I had established (beyond my control), and an associated change in my exercise/food routine. That's never good. A little backsliding on my... Continue Reading →
Time To Change – Senseless But Solid
Then you have a week like this. It didn't seem like a great week. Of course, it didn't seem like a bad one either. I got almost no exercise. Schedule and weather just got in the way. Included in that was no exercise on my shoulder, and I saw some very quick negative... Continue Reading →
Time To Change – The Song Remains the Same
Just a tiny bit of movement. At least it's in the right direction. The weather is improving so I have no excuse not to increase my activity levels. The bicycle will come out this weekend as well, so I will have some miles to chart there. Food is fine, exercise is low, blah, blah,... Continue Reading →
Life Among the Unemployed – Making Hard Decisions
(These posts will appear when there is something to report) Unemployment is not a straight line experience. It changes as you go along, and that means decisions have to be made. Often hard ones. It's time to acknowledge a decision I've made with my family. For the moment, I am not pursuing youth ministry positions... Continue Reading →
Time To Change – Momentary Status Quo
Let's call this a plateau. That's the name for one of the great frustrations of weight loss. After a while, your body adjusts to the changes you've made and the weight loss slows to a stop. You can be doing everything you were before when the number dropped steadily but with no effect now. It... Continue Reading →
Time To Change – Bouncing, bouncing, bouncing…
Well, at least this is back on schedule. Just a quick note this week. Starting to adjust to the new realities of working as a substitute. Also made the decision to fully go back to the dietary principles I've used before (meaning focusing less on "diabetic"). And lots of water. The early results are... Continue Reading →
Time To Change – As Predicted
Somehow, I keep forgetting to do this post, lol. Actually, it's not surprising. There's been a change and I haven't fully adjusted to it yet. I began doing some substitute teaching with the local school district. It's a way to bring some desperately needed money into the house as I continue to search for a... Continue Reading →
Life Among the Unemployed – Trying Something New
(These posts will appear when there is something to report) In my last post in this series a couple weeks back, I mentioned that I had begun the process of becoming a substitute teacher in the local school district. All that paperwork, fingerprinting, background check and TB testing has been completed. I have a... Continue Reading →
Time To Change – Milestone!
I have no idea how I missed last week. When I went to post this week, I realized the oversight. Ah well, it happens. After several weeks bouncing back and forth by a pound or so, we showed positive movement again this week. While I did pass a milestone weight, I know not to get... Continue Reading →
