Line in the Sand

by Charles January 24, 2010

There it is… I’ve drawn it on the ground… I’m refusing to cross it. As is our weekly ritual, Amy and I got on the Wii Fit and weighed ourselves. In a drastic turn of events, I gained 6.4 pounds in one week. I honestly know that it was a combination of many bad food/drink [...]

Defeated, but not Out of the Running

by Charles December 14, 2009

I know… who is this guy who’s posting here?  Actually, I used to blog a lot about my weight-loss journey until I hit a few snags in the road and virtually quit blogging at all.  However, though I had pretty much stopped focusing on weight-loss, I had not given up on what I had loved [...]

Weigh-in: Year 3, Week 45

by Charles April 21, 2009

My wife and I made some tough decisions this week. We have to truly cut expenses and anything that is not truly necessary. This meant the farmer’s co-op will make it’s last delivery next Tuesday. We had been throwing some food away because it was too much and we’ve been going out too much also. [...]

Weigh-in: Year 3, Week 44

by Charles April 14, 2009

Yeah, so I didn’t post last week. Turns out that we got superbusy at the house. You see, we were going to be observing the Passover on Wednesday night. Since we follow the Old Testament observances such as Days of Unleavens, we had to clean out the house of all leavening and leavened products. We [...]

Rock To Victory Half Marathon

by Charles April 8, 2009

Procrastination is my closest friend and worst enemy. I’ve waited too long to make this post (the race was on March 15th), but I’ve got to get it out before I completely forget the details I want to remember. Amy and I spent the night at my brother’s house as all four of us (my [...]

Weigh-in: Year 3, Week 42

by Charles March 31, 2009

Aaaaand… we’re back. So I wasn’t actually on any Spring Break (it’s been 17 years since I’ve ever taken one), but I just wasn’t feeling my oats last week. Sure, I had not done any running the week after my half-marathon and gained 1.4 pounds. This week, I got in a couple of runs and [...]

Weigh-in: Year 3, Week 40

by Charles March 17, 2009

Wow. What a week it has been. I’ve still got a separate post to write reporting the events of this past Sunday, so I don’t want to steal most of the thunder away from that. However, I do want to point out that I’m certain it was key to this week’s loss of 2.4 pounds. [...]

Weigh-in: Year 3, Week 39

by Charles March 10, 2009

I love my Wii Fit, but I’ve got to stop weighing myself on it on Sundays. Other than Tuesday/Wednesday nights when I weigh myself on it, that’s the only other day. I got overconfident when the durn thing told me I’d lost 7.5 pounds since my last weighin on it. Granted, it was after my [...]

The Fear of Getting Thin – Another viewpoint

by Charles March 9, 2009

I don’t want to take away from Jason’s post whatsoever, but another angle on why someone would fear becoming thin came to mind and I had to share it. I also felt it deserved more than just another comment. My wife had been on Weight Watchers for a few years off and on and was [...]
