Thoughts on Living the Life Creative
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →

It's taken three weeks and I figured I'd have absolutely no chance at happiness. I mean it was my birthday weekend. How likely was it that I'd manage to lose some weight. I lost 2 pounds. Can't explain it, won't argue with it. Ate reasonably well, got some exercise. It worked. I like it. Weekly... Continue Reading →
Sigh. Can I offer up my explanation (excuse) first? Tough weekend. Bishop's Ball which throws me out of schedule and routine and the Super Bowl where, well, it's just not weight loss friendly unless you're willing to sit there and have no fun. I didn't pig out but I didn't do real well. So in... Continue Reading →
I need a little more time to process my thoughts on General Convention #77 but I thought I'd give a quick look at the City of Indianapolis. I should admit that I have a bias against many midwest cities right off the bat. As a child of the hill country of western Pennsylvania my image... Continue Reading →
