Yeah, I'm late. I simply did not want to step on the scale. Two bad numbers in a row.  I made a single conscious change this week.  I had no idea if it had helped.  At that point the negative thinking took over.  It won't work.  I'll never lose this weight again.  You'll never be...

Bleah. Not a good week, not a good number Exercise is the issue clearly.  I haven't done any. I'm also wondering why this has been so much more of a struggle than before.  When I hit 30 my metabolism clearly slowed down.  I'm wondering if I'm facing the same issue again. Under any circumstances, this... Continue Reading →

Well, at least the news wasn't bad. A bit of a mess, very little exercise, not great eating. Which resulted in an effective zero change. Like I said, it could be worse.  Next week will be better. Do want to share something that has been very useful.  This is something I learned from the "South... Continue Reading →

  All right, back at it. I'm not going to spend a lot of itme on the first weigh of the year.  Let's say that I made it through the holidays within the parameters I wanted.  My last weight was around 203 and I did all the holidays with only a two pound change.  I... Continue Reading →

When things don't go well you have two choices.  To quit or to begin again.  If you choose to begin again then there has to be a starting point.  Today is that.  I refuse to worry about watching every calorie during the holidays.  It's a time to celebrate and enjoy whatever there is to enjoy...

If you follow the sad tale of my weight loss you will have noticed that I haven't posted in a while.  Part of that is just reality.  I don't worry a great deal about sticking to a tight plan this time of year.  It's almost impossible and largely makes life unpleasant.  While the last week...

    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 →
