My first 5k

by Rick August 30, 2008

Cross posted to Fat Guy in a Little Coat Well, I did it, and I had a great time! I finally ran my first official 5k. My wife and son came out to cheer me on and it was an overall great morning.  I finished in 45:29…definitely not my best, but considering the number of [...]

Sometimes Having a Positive Attitude is Necessary

by Rick August 27, 2008

After reading Charles last post and writing a pretty nasty post about my latest feelings on my blog (you can check it out here) I decided to post something positive.  I’ve blown off a lot of steam and am now feeling more relaxed. For people who don’t know, I had a pretty bad time last [...]

Exercise High & Sugar War

by Charles August 27, 2008

I’ve been exercising now for about 6 months… jogging/running for the last 2 months… and I’ve noticed something today. I’m sitting at my desk at work… and I wanna go run again. I already did a 3.8 mile run this morning and I should be too tired to care… but I wanna keep moving. I [...]

Here we go again!

by rev.todd August 26, 2008

So this is my first weigh in again! My plan this time is to count calories, which kind of worked with WW, and exercise. Sounds simple, yet I know it’s not. To start, I am going to use the Biggest Loser book and an Og Mandino book for motivation. I will do the “Couch to [...]

by Charles August 26, 2008

… in the form of “Encouraging Words”! Seriously, I’ve noticed something about this last couple of weeks. It’s not just me, it seems that something is affecting most of the FatBloggers. I can’t really pinpoint an exact feeling except “discouragement”. Just the following examples show that many of us are entering a point of “bleah” [...]

Weigh-in: Year 3, Week 11

by Charles August 26, 2008

The order of life has returned somewhat to normal, but I’m tired of being lazy. Lazy about my eating habits, lazy about yard work, lazy about house work, lazy about bible reading, lazy about blogging, lazy with the checking account and bills, etc. I’ve squandered and wasted too much time, energy and money to be [...]

Week 2 Weigh-In

by Rick August 25, 2008

Well, Week 2 wasn’t as good as I’d hoped. I tried to be good, but it’s hard, when nobody in your family is eating healthy. 2 days in a row now, we’ve had Mac & Cheese. Then Chinese, then Pizza. It’s really getting me down, because I need to save 1400 calories for dinner alone [...]

Blog Maintenance

by John T August 24, 2008

I will be updating FatBloggers to WordPress 2.6.1 this afternoon. Normally, the site looks a bit wierd during the update. If all goes as smoothly as it has in the past, all the dust should be settled by 5pm PDT. … and we’re back. That wasn’t so bad now was it?
