Week 11

by Rick May 22, 2007

Drum roll please, Anton…I’m down another 1.4 pounds for a total of 39.2 pounds lost since March 6.  A lower week was to be expected; there seems to be a two-week pattern like that for me. Just as significantly, I began my Couch-to-5k program tonight.  The idea is to get you off the couch and [...]

An idea

by Rick May 20, 2007

Hadn’t posted much in the last few days, so I just thought I’d check in real quick.  I had a class Friday evening and most of the day Saturday, so I definitely had to do some planning ahead to accommodate eating during that time.  Saturday at noon, my classmates went to a restaurant for lunch, [...]

God, Satan, and dieting

by Rick May 18, 2007

by Rick May 17, 2007

If you’re on a weight loss plan with a set amount of calories or points each day, you might plan out your eating each day, putting the majority of those calories of points into one meal.  It’s interesting to hear the rationale for these decisions.  I used to be a no-breakfast guy, then I’d load [...]

Interesting weight loss trend

by Rick May 17, 2007

Take a look at the graph below.  Notice anything unusual?  For the past several weeks, I’ve been losing a lot of weight one week, but then just a little the next week.  If I graphed my weight loss every two weeks, it would come out quite a bit more evenly.  We’ll see if this trend holds [...]
