I'd love to say "Back in the Groove" but it's never that easy is it?  LOL. I AM back to the weekly routine of checking in here at the blog.  On the other hand the weight loss thing didn't go quite so well. It didn't go badly (no gain) but there was no weight LOSS... Continue Reading →

So the Phase I experiment lasted a week.  On Friday last my lady wife looked at me and said "This food makes me unhappy.  I don't want to do this any more".  Given that the same thought had occurred to me just an hour before we decided to move on. We have not given up... Continue Reading →

It's been a while, I know. Life has been busy and challenging and lots of other things.  This blog is just one of several things that got set aside.  May or may not have been the right decision but it was the one that got made.  One way or the other. This week we begin... Continue Reading →

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 →

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 →

  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 →

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 →
