Weigh-in: Year 3, Week 38

by Charles March 3, 2009

Well, it could have been much worse, but I only gained 0.6 pounds this week. I did many things right, and some things wrong and some good things contributed to the bad. First off, I got in two runs this week. The total of the two was just shy of 10 miles (9.96) with the [...]

The Biggest Liar

by Charles February 26, 2009

This won’t win me big brownie points with the show, but I hate to see this happen on a show I really enjoyed. On 2/25/2009, The Biggest Loser: Couples voted off Dane Patterson. He was later shown in the “see them now” section of the episode to have completed a marathon (The Arizona Desert Classic) [...]

Weigh-in: Year 3, Week 37

by Charles February 24, 2009

I had a good week, not a great week. I only got two responses to my last post asking what I should do about having done nothing of my required list items to avoid the challenge punishment. They were both encouraging responses and I appreciated them very much. However, I then went through another week [...]

Weigh-in: Year 3, Week 36

by Charles February 17, 2009

I fell flat on my face this week, figuratively. I had a really rough week at work thanks to extra work created by a database corruption that left me being about four days behind on my workload. That helped me none as far as the stress and the associated consumption. I also ate poorly over [...]

In Sickness and In Health

by Charles February 16, 2009

I find it fascinating that I’ve been with Weight-Watchers for over two and a half years and not once has the subject of illness or medical conditions been directly addressed. Naturally, their own program material covers the situation of pregnancy, but what happens in the following situations: Common cold or flu: you’re told to drink [...]

Weigh-in: Year 3, Week 34

by Charles February 3, 2009

I should never had even talked myself into skipping this week. I thought I could still control myself though I would not have time (I assumed) to write everything down. I totally failed. I got in one run since the last weigh-in, but that was not enough to undo this past weekend. I am so [...]

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. [...]

Weigh-in: Year 3, Week 32

by Charles January 20, 2009

It would appear that my challenge to myself from last week paid off in the following aspects: I tracked all seven days of this past week for the first time in a few months (sorry, I hate to disappoint, but the video will not yet be made; see further info below). I actually chose not [...]
