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 ...

Normally, I’d load up on caffeine and sugar, but I listened to my stomach and not my tired brain. I’m working towards eating smaller meals ...
You may have noticed that weight loss badge in the sidebar – it’s from myfitnesspal.com, where I’m tracking my diet. I am seeing that I eat too little fiber, so I went on a hunt for a list of fiber-rich foods. Found a good one with a couple dozen foods that you’ll find in a ...
iVillage UK has some common sense diet tips. We all know a lot of these, but it doesn't hurt to review from time to time, especially a few weeks into a diet when focus and discipline begin to wane: ...
Now that the walking is out for the next 3 to 6 weeks, I need to come up with other hundred day head start challenges. Because that’s the POINT of all this, isn’t it? Not waiting until after some event or date to get started improving my health? There are still things I can do. For ...
Out walking Saturday evening, ’round about twilight, and stepped on a rock, in a hole, on the gravel road to my house. Rolled the ankle. Severe sprain, much pain and swelling. This ankle has been a problem for me since I was 18 yrs old, and in fact was a direct contributor to the end of ...
