Despite having run yesterday, and eaten very little, I gained 2 tenths of a pound. While this might feel really bad, even infuriating for a moment. I had to remind myself that running can make your body retain some level of fluid and only once the body gets the hint that everything is OK, noContinue reading “Day 28 255.0 lbs”

Today is Monday and I had a pretty darn good weekend of eating and biking. As of this morning I am 7 tenths of a pound away from a full 20 pound loss this month. I will not deviate from the plan and that 20 pound mark in one calendar month will be mine! IContinue reading “Day 27 254.8 lbs”

4 tenths of a pound, that’s all for yesterday. It’s not up, but rather down. the trend is good so despite my propensity to complain about that small a loss, I have hope for the weekend and a good relaxing mountain bike ride. I have a good weekend coming where I should be able toContinue reading “Day 24 256.7 lbs”

Today is a great day! Why? Because I’ve come now within 10 pounds of my 10 year lowest weight. And this time it’s all diet! Last time it was all exercise, more than 100 miles every week on the bike. While I loved the 100 mile weeks, truly! It doesn’t compare to this time. Again,Continue reading “Day 23 257.1 lbs”

Yesterday was a good day by all accounts. Sticking to the plan is yielding results I had only dreamed about in previous attempts. I want to put something into this writing so nobody can ever say I didn’t document this. This is MY ACCOUNT of what is going on with my experiment eating a wholeContinue reading “Day 22 257.9 lbs”

What? No loss over the weekend? What happened?? This weekend was a rare and appropriate deviation from the plan. Every year some of my oldest friends and I go to the Barrett Jackson auto auction in Scottsdale and relax, catch up and watch other people spend millions on cars they don’t need and will likelyContinue reading “Day 21 259.0 lbs”

Finally broke the 260 mark! That makes 15.1 lbs this month according to withing app. My lowest weight since 2013 has been 247.3 and then I was riding more than 100 miles every week on the bike, and trying hard to get lean. That means one thing, this is AMAZING! What have I learned? IContinue reading “Day 17 259.0 lbs”

Ugh! That’s what I say to this days weigh in. 2 tenths of a pound yesterday, and I thought I was so good and stuck to my plan. No reason to abandon all though. Yesterday I listened to Dr. Fuhrmans book. “Eat to Live”. In that he lays out a more aggressive weight loss planContinue reading “Day 16 260.4 lbs”

6 tenths of a pound yesterday. I’ll take that! Not my best day by far but certainly not the worst. I feel like I’m trying to tailor this into a plan I can work with forever already. I guess that’s because I am. That said, I have to remain focused on being rid of theContinue reading “Day 15 260.6 lbs”

Lost nothing yesterday, ate my way to zero. I’ve deviated from the Cray-Ray Winter hypothesis and it’s showing on the scale. Yesterday I ate 3 oat clusters, a bowl of beans and a bowl of corn and a big-arse salad! I also took a 3 mile jog/walk at a HR in zone 2. That, accordingContinue reading “Day 14 261.2 lbs”
