Beck Diet Solution – Day 5

by Rick January 31, 2009

Cross posted at antimattr.net Eat Slowly and Mindfully There are some good benefits to eating slowly and mindfully: when you eat slowly, your brain has time to register that you feel full, and when you eat mindfully, noticing and enjoying every mouthful of food, you feel more satisfied when you’re done eating.

Running work out started great, end with some searching

by Rick January 30, 2009

I did it. It was a real victory for me to do the speed work. What is speed work? It is a running work out where you go to the track, run 1 or 2 times around at a particular pace. Usually your 5k or 10k race pace. You do it like weight lifting, with [...]

Weigh-in: Year 3, Week 33

by Charles January 29, 2009

Yes, this is a few day’s late, but our regular WW meeting was cancelled due to icy road conditions (here in Texas, that means lots of accidents as almost nobody knows how to drive on ice; rule of thumb: you can’t). I ended up going to a meeting near work on my lunch hour today. [...]

Up and Down and Up

by Rick January 29, 2009

Cross posted at Waste the Waist You know how on The Biggest Loser, when the person climbs onto the scale for the weigh-in, the numbers tumble up and down while some suspense music swells? I used to sit there and hope for the best for these people. Now I realize that I hope we’re not [...]

Why Strength training is Helpful

by Rick January 29, 2009

I have been doing very well with my cardio routine of walking/jogging 2 miles 5 days a week. However I felt I needed more. My food intake ( I HATE saying diet) has been going very well, and I have had a lot of extra energy, but my weight loss started to plateau a little [...]

Pretty good night last night. Stayed away from really bad food choices!

by Rick January 29, 2009

Last night I still wanted to eat those darn kettle chips. A special person from the WW message boards recommended that I get the baked Kettle chips instead. She posted the cals., fat, fiber. Very helpful and encouraging person. So I got some last night and I think I made a big step towards health, [...]

Week 9 and 10 Weigh In

by rev.todd January 28, 2009

I have been the same weight the last two weeks which is just a pound up from the week before that. I have been so busy traveling, doing church stuff, and trying to get on top of my school work, that I have put little effort into eating right and working out. I do what [...]

Days 71-72 Intake Diary and Runs/Walks……………Blah!

by Rick January 28, 2009

Cross Posted at Losing Inspiration I haven’t had a lot to say lately. Not because I’m slipping, or giving up or fallen off a wagon or something. I just haven’t felt like talking. I’ve always said, “Don’t talk just for the sake of talking.”, and I don’t want to blog for the same reason. Maybe [...]

I can see it in your eyes-do you see it in mine

by Rick January 27, 2009

I thought of this post while I was doing my long run a couple of weeks ago. I think this every time I go running to my favorite park. There are always a lot of people exercising on this park’s trail. A lot of people who are just starting their journey go here to get [...]
