It has been years since I last wrote on this blog. And in those years so much has happened. I decided that I felt weak at one point and needed to begin eating meat again. That lead to eating pretty much anything and everything,.. and now… back to 279 lbs 😦 So, one thing that’sContinue reading “20 May 2026 Relapse to the Mean”

Today did NOT go as planned. I’d planned to make a food habit of potato and salad, that didn’t happen. About 11am that latest batch of spuds were done in the oven. I pulled all 5 of the massive beasts and put one in a soup bowl to eat and the other 4 in aContinue reading “Dec 4, 2022 Day 3 270.2lbs”

Yesterday wasn’t a banner day by any stretch. I sat here at the keys for about 9 hours working and watching videos when the day was done. Food wasn’t bad though. Had a big salad and boiled some white potatoes which were then smashed on a baking sheet and popped into the oven to getContinue reading “Dec 3, 2022 Day 1 270lbs”

Yup, you read that right, 271lbs 😦 OUCH. So, I think I’m not alone in that the events of 2020 and 2021 sent me for a huge loop around the sun, or two. And with that came the old habits of eating too much, eating things I shouldn’t, hating on myself for doing it whichContinue reading “Dec 2, 2022 Day X 271 lbs.”

I’ve been staying on the plan, about 98% of the time. That said I had had some pastry and chocolate and butter on cornbread. Yes, I said butter! There are times when there is no replacement for butter. Julia Child would tell you the same if she was alive. I find that the days IContinue reading “Day 72 238.8 lbs”

I’m in shock actually. I took three steps on the scale this morning to let it sink in. What you see above is the lowest of the three, and the first step on the scale. The two after were 1 tenth of a pound higher, but it was consistent so I and taking the lowestContinue reading “Day 63 239.5 lbs”

The numbers say I was a good boy yesterday, and I was. I heard once, and I forget where, but it was said that, “What we eat in private, we wear in public”. I can’t take credit for that because I didn’t write it, but that doesn’t make it any less true. My legs areContinue reading “Day 62 241.1 lbs”

Only 3 tenths of a pound since last I wrote. I had a very fun race this weekend and wanted to be sure I wasn’t in too much of a calorie deficit to be at my best. I ran a personal best 5K at 35.28. It could have been faster and will be next time,Continue reading “Day 61 242.7 lbs”

It’s Friday! And it started off great with a super weigh in, another low for the last 20 years. I have a 5k this weekend with my sister so I hope to be another pound lighter by Sunday morning, because every pound counts when you’re running or riding. I find that when I have timeContinue reading “Day 58 243.0 lbs”

1 pound a day. I can still hardly believe it. I haven’t been working hard to lose but I haven’t been working hard to gain or stay even either, and I’ve been sticking to the plan. The weight seems to keep falling off and I’m excited about it. Spent some time on the mountain bikeContinue reading “Day 54 243.7 lbs”
