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 →

    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.  I am moving over to the actual course I'll be running (fingers crossed) next month.  Kept my pace...

  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 →

  Nothing like a good number to start you off for the day.  Deuces are wild!   The exercise regime is improving too.  Still not getting out as often as I want (three times this week) but just being consistent is a HUGE improvement. A week ago I did the full distance I'm training for... Continue Reading →

  Yeah, sudden gaps inevitably mean that things aren't going well.  The number down at the bottom isn't good at all.  I'm really struggling with my eating at the moment. But I've decided to focus on those things that are working well.  My training for the 5k continues.  Just the fact that it's still going... Continue Reading →

Running a little late but I didn't want to get into the habit again of missing a post. Another mixed signals week.  But I think I'm OK with that this time. The number down at the bottom there isn't headed in the right direction.  It is only a minor fluctuation so I'm not going to get... Continue Reading →

OK, so this has been a couple of weeks coming.  Walked straight into a major stress event at work.  Stress is not my friend.  In general or in terms of trying to fix the issue at hand.  I was hanging on by the tips of my fingers (at least that's how it felt) and didn't... Continue Reading →

  You may have noticed I was missing last week.  The plan was that the post would be a little late, but then real life intervened. It was interesting.   Last weekend involved a trip for me that chewed up all of Saturday and about half of Sunday.  At least that was the plan.  The... Continue Reading →

  So this week was the first with daily weigh-ins. It was interesting. First, you get some real time feedback on what you're doing.  What I was doing mostly this week was eating poorly.  So the number wasn't good.  Somehow I still came away feeling good, if only because I knew exactly when in the...

So what needs to change? Last week I wrote about the things that presented the biggest challenges for me right now.  Trying to replicate what I did before in a very different environment hasn't worked.  New context requires new answers. I've spent my time off thinking about how to approach that.  Here's what I found: I... Continue Reading →
