I’ve been unable to do my usual walking right now due to inflammation in my Achilles tendon. I’m not in the position to drop $100+ for a new pair of my beloved Brooks Beasts (size 10.5, 2E in case you want to send me a Christmas present, dear reader…), the shoes I wore while dropping ...
Never before have you seen a man more in need of diet and exercise. Right now, I am 345 lbs, just 4 lbs shy of my top weight. Three years ago I lost 60 pounds in 6 months before petering out. I watched every calorie I put in my mouth and I did an outstanding ...
Hi there. I'm back. No excuses, no apologies. I was off the bandwagon, now I'm back on. Both dieting and blogging. The annual kickoff date for the hundreddayheadstart is September 23 - 100 days before New Year's Day. The idea is to not wait for New Year's to start diet and fitness program you've been meaning to ...
Got back on the exercise path this past week. Besides all the walking at work, I also started walking in the evening. I found a nice pond with a 1/2 mile sidewalk circling it on some … ahem… ‘private’ property. There’s an industrial park near my hotel, so it’s pretty empty when I get there ...
Well, I’m back, none the worse for wear. I started my new job in Huntsville last week. I’m pretty homesick and missing my family, and yes, there has been some emotional eating. Luckily, this has been offset by a huge increase in physical activity due simply to the size of the plant. The walk from the ...
So, with this move to Huntsville, AL coming up, I’ve been giving the diet and exercise a good hard thought. As opposed to a soft thought, I guess. Anyway, I’m going up about 4 months before my family so the kids can finish school. Sucks for me. But for my diet and exercise, it could be ...
I’ve written about how I really like the Wii for a substitute exercise from time to time. Yesterday, Diet-Blog posted about the upcoming WiiFit, which promises to extend the exercise and fitness options to Wii owners. The base games provided with the Wii is the WiiSports package, which includes tennis, boxing, baseball, golf, and bowling. Most ...
So what was stressing me out earlier this week? A frustrating negotiation around the terms of a relocation agreement. But, it’s all wrapped up now, better than I expected, and we’ll be moving. We’re in Jacksonville, Florida, home of the Jaguars, and we’re moving to Huntsville, AL, home of… something, I’m sure. So, it will ...
This one hit my mailbox this morning: Exercise Seen as Priming Pump for Students’ Academic Strides Seven or eight years ago, studies offered mixed results on the question of whether exercise can boost brain function in children and adolescents. Experts are beginning to contend, however, that the case is getting stronger. “There’s sort of no question about ...
Long day working, doing the day job then hitting the library for some peace and quiet and an internet connection that doesn’t crap out every time I try to see a video. Knocked out a week’s worth of video posts for another blog I have (no, not porn… well, mostly… ) and planned ...
