Post-Vacation Check-in and End of Week 2

by Rick June 29, 2009

Our vacation to the Oregon Coast was fabulous.  Susan and I got four whole days to ourselves, sans kids.  Woo hoo!  My weight loss efforts went unscathed.  We actually took quite a bit of food with us, and ate just one meal out a day.  This was kind to both the pocketbook as well as [...]

Focusing on an even tougher week

by Rick December 1, 2008

Cross posted on PickOnTheFatKid.com Well, the weigh in this morning was not really surprising.  I had a tough week and the results actually showed on the scales.  I gained a half pound.  I’m not going to beat myself up over it because I can’t change the past.  I did eat pretty well during the past [...]

Climb every mountain!

by John T September 15, 2008

A few things

by Rick July 8, 2007

Hey everybody, hope you’re having a great weekend.  It’s beautiful here in the Pacific Northwest, especially after a scorching mid-week.  I rode my bike along the river this morning and enjoyed the coolish air.  I’ve upgraded to WordPress 2.2.1.  If you run a custom WP install and haven’t done this yet, I highly recommend it.  [...]

On the road

by Rick June 14, 2007

Day 1 of our vacation.  I packed a cooler full of yogurts, string cheese, granola bars, Diet Coke, etc… all of the stuff that I would consume when I’m at home.  Not a problem.  Dinner tonight was at Applebee’s, where they have a part of their menu that shows the Weight Watchers points.  I chose [...]
