Monday’s Leftovers

Monday's Leftovers

I’m trying a new weight loss strategy. Not eating all of my food. I know it isn’t rocket science, but the fact is not eating all of the food in front of you is one of the easier things to control. At least I think it is. We’ll see how it goes! First, go check [...]

I lost two pounds this week which of course makes me very happy. I’ve only just restarted so I have a long ways to go, but I have now booked three weekly losses in a row for a total of 8 pounds. That feels like a great start to me! How did I do it? [...]

Day 2

by Rick August 24, 2010

Here’s what I had today: My coffee, 250 2 granola bars, 200 Hamburger (like yesterday), 700 Misc. chips, 300 Chicken enchiladas, 600 15 Frosted Mini Wheats, 150 Total Calories: 2200 I’m starting to wonder if ~2,000 calories a day is the sweet spot here. I think I can lose weight and feel good on that. [...]

It is what it is.

by Chris October 9, 2009

I’ve taken a bit of a break from running in the past two weeks. I did my 5km run and am still feeling incredible about my accomplishment. But, the weather has been crappy, and life has been a bit nutty. My landlord decided to put the house up for sale, so for the whole of [...]

Holy Moley

by Rick January 24, 2008

Here’s me, taken about a year ago or so, at about 300 pounds. I hated having my picture taken back then because I was, well, fat. My oldest son just happened to have a camera with him when he snuck this shot. I’m glad he did, too; I need a reminder somewhere about how I [...]

The Importance of Honesty

by John August 20, 2007

“One of the hardest things in this world is to admit you are wrong.
