Less of a Man

As I half predicted last week, this week’s total is nearly even with last week, although officially I gained back two tenths of a pound.  However, this week I did NOT mow before weighing in and was fairly well hydrated, and I was also wearing more normal weekend clothes for me which, yes, includes a [...]

Well, today was the day of the annual company picnic.  And in true fashion for a company that does really seem to care for it’s employees in its own way at least, it was a big shindig with air boat rides, lots of games and such for the kids… and ice cream, popcorn, snow cones, [...]

This week’s fit point asks an interesting question:  who inspires you to do what you do, and who inspires you to try harder?  That’s a very good question.  After all, you should always know WHY you are doing what you do, or else you won’t have much of a reason to keep doing it, eh? [...]

Well, another week has come and gone… and officially I’m down just over a pound.  Yeah…  unfortunately I’m going to stress that officially again.  I was slightly dehydrated for the weigh in (mowed again early Saturday morning) and I wore a light outfit without a belt.  (Still had my keys, wallet and phone as usual… [...]

Ah, we’ve all been there… even those who aren’t really out there trying to lose weight.  The raw scenario:  you’re at a restaurant, and you’re trying to figure out what you want to order.  You may not have picked out this restaurant for whatever reason, but yet you find yourself here.  And your brain is [...]

Last week was a pretty good week all in all… of course any week you’re down three pounds is a good week by definition, eh? I’m back on the wagon with tracking my eating, or at least making good estimates in the cases where I go out to eat here and there.  (Well, I call [...]

If you can control one part of the body, control the head.  Where the head goes, the rest of the body follows. I first heard this in a karate club meeting, I think, and it was in reference to judo if I recall;  if you have a chance to grab someone’s head for a take [...]

First, a gentle disclaimer.  I’ve had a long and colorful relationship with caffeine, and some of it manifests itself into my medical history.  I won’t get graphic with any of it, I promise you, and it’s not really that close to TMI (in my opinion) but I just don’t want to be accused of not [...]

Well, the last two weeks weren’t all they could have been.  Actually, I think I’d pin it more on last week than the week before… but since I wasn’t tracking, I’m just going to have to judge the week before to the best of my vague memory.  I know last week was bad, just don’t [...]

This week’s fit point asks, What do you wear when you work out?  I actually had this conversation with a friend just yesterday when she was telling me about this great little outfit (her words) that was kind of like a big garbage bag with drawstrings that makes you lose weight when you work out…  [...]
