Week 76 – No Harm, No Foul

by John T July 15, 2008

Cross Published on Rejecting Your Reality… I survived my birthday and the presence of a cake in the house. But that wasn’t my biggest worry last week; I ate horribly. Heavy on the convenience food and light on the fresh fruits and veggies. On balance, it was exactly the kind of week that is ‘normal’ [...]

Weigh-in: Year 3, Week 5

by Charles July 15, 2008

I’ve decided I need to bring back my exercise and food log. It’s obvious I’m slipping and I need to get some accountability back into the mix. I’m not doing good on my eating choices… okay.. I’m really not making very many good choices at all. I’ve let my willpower slide and it hurts to [...]

Which road to choose?

by Rick July 11, 2008

At the “Y” in the road I headed towards the road that had beer and pizza at then end.  This is the road I have been familiar with my whole life.  It is amazing after making such tremendous progress that we can fall into our old habits so very quickly.  A beer here and an [...]

T-minus 365 days

by John T July 8, 2008

I’m not a big fan of celebrating my birthday. Its rather frustrating to my loved ones, because I would really prefer a low-key affair. I don’t like being the center of attention and when I don’t respond to the ‘celebration of me’ in a way that others expect, they get upset. Truth be told I’m [...]

Week 75 – Now where's my cake?!

by John T July 8, 2008

Cross Published on Rejecting Your Reality… When I was a fat little kid, my favorite birthday treat was my Grandma’s HOMEMADE German Chocolate cake with piles of caramel coconut icing (I could eat that stuff with a spoon). Grandma said, "I don’t trust that Duncan Hines any further than I could throw him". Folks, she [...]

Weigh-in: Year 3, Week 4

by Charles July 8, 2008

I guess I never tire of hearing myself make goals and then self-destruct in trying to reach them. I did okay as it could have been much worse considering the holiday weekend. Still, I made a lot of good choices, but they were overshadowed by exceptionally poor ones. I still have a long way to [...]

Losing weight in Albuquerque

by rev.todd July 7, 2008

Well, a lot has happened since the last time I really posted. I was in Oregon for school, NY City for a conference. I moved to Albuquerque, NM and started a new job at a new church and then I went to Los Angeles to record our new EP “Caballo de Lumbre” with my band [...]

It was a sad commentary

by Charles July 6, 2008

My wife and I enjoyed watching Wall-E today. An excellent social commentary on our consumer greed and the type of life it is leading to if we don’t change. In some ways, it was quite scary just how far we might go in our laziness. The destruction on our own home world and the living [...]
