Thoughts on Living the Life Creative
Getting sick is a really bad weight loss strategy. Except when it's a good one. This was a week when I would be travelling and hanging out with friends. Which meant that eating might be a problem and exercise almost surely would. I tried to be good with the eating and was probably OK. A... Continue Reading →
That terrible moment just before you step on the scale. Victory or defeat? Yes, I'm not supposed to think about them that way. It's a marathon, not a sprint. It's a lifestyle not a diet. Blah, blah, blah. Every week it's victory, no matter how small, or defeat, no matter how small. I got the... Continue Reading →
Well, if it was easy I wouldn't need to lose the weight in the first place. Let me be honest. I had not one, not two but three meals this past week of pizza and wings. Seriously? How stupid is that? So the number at the end is hardly surprising. Hell, given the uneven exercise... Continue Reading →
But, but, but... I was better about my eating. Not great but better. I exercised 5 out of the 7 days. I even exercised TWICE on one of those days. And the result was minimal. Sigh. Then I remind myself that this happens some times. Your body will take some time to adjust. That it's... Continue Reading →
Thanksgiving. Christmas. New Year's. Travelling. Road Food. Birthday. What do all of these things have in common? They're all excuses. They are the excuses that I have been using for two months now to explain why I have not lost any weight. Why I haven't exercised. Why I'm not eating right. I want them to... Continue Reading →
No weigh in this week. There was a death in the family and I am away from the official scale on weigh in day. Wasn't expecting great things because of the Super Bowl although I didn't attend a party because we were away as well. So it may be better than many years. I am... Continue Reading →
Crap. As in I don't even want to write this post. I want to go away, curl up in a ball and feel sorry for myself. I want to make excuses and throw a pity party for myself. It was a bad week. But it was going to be a tough week under any circumstances.... Continue Reading →
This is the American Film Institute’s 2007 list of the top 100 American movies; I’ve put the ones I’ve seen in bold. I've included only those movies that I've seen the whole way through. I had checked it a couple years ago and had scored about 60% of them. Just updated it and now I'm... Continue Reading →
The struggles continue. I know I need to up my exercise routine. I need to be more active. To help with that I bought a Fitbit which is a high tech pedometer. The truly useful part is that it links to my Fitbit online account via wifi so that my steps are automatically recorded for me.... Continue Reading →
No, I haven't quit. Yes, I'm back. The end of last year was just too... something, to deal with in those final weeks. Struggling to support my wife as she adapted to her limited mobility and the increased responsibilities on me. Packing up my office and concluding my job. The holidays and the food that...
