The Weigh-In Week 12

by Tony August 31, 2007

239 that’s what it said on the scale this morning. A loss of .8 lbs. I don’t get this weight loss thing at all. This was the loss I was supposed to have last week after piging out all weekend. Not the loss I was supposed to have this week after logging nearly 20 miles. [...]

On the road: Week 35

by John T August 30, 2007

  According to a story on MS-NBC, 16 million people will fly during the End of Summer holiday weekend. I have done my share of flying, and while flying is quick and easy, I would rather drive. Driving allows you to experience the small things that become memories; the stop at that roadside stand for [...]

Since we are like most Americans, we hold conversations during the commercial breaks in our favorite programs.

Broke Down on the Road: Week 34

by John T August 23, 2007

Just when I get a handle on my current work assignment (see last weeks post) I spend the week treading water. I know, I know, I can hear my Weight Watchers leader’s voice now, “You’re not treading water when the scale goes down”. California State Route 330 is apparently more treacherous that I had originally [...]

My First Big Bump In The Road

by Tony August 21, 2007

Up until now this whole weight loss thing has been pretty smooth sailing for me. I’ve worked really hard and been fortunate to have 11 straight weeks of losses. This weekend turned out to be my first major gale. I know it’s something you have all gone through. This weekend I made the decision to [...]
