Once-born or Twice-born???

by Chris May 19, 2009

When I lived in British Columbia from 1999-2002, I met a wonderful friend through work. Liisa worked at another university, and I knew from the moment I met her that there was something very special about her. She has such an incredible spirit, and offer an extraordinary energy to those around her, that I feel [...]

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 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 [...]

He speaks… for me!

by John T March 18, 2009

Will (occasional FatBlogger) over at 4XLT made a post that I could have written if I were of a mind to… and I wanted to be honest.  Go over there and take a look… the hook… But here I am, looking objectively at the how’s and why’s of my life, and I come to the [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
