I’m still here and still toeing the line on my diet. The workplace stress has been off the charts, but I’ve managed my way through it just fine. I go back to the doc in 10 days for a weigh-in. I went in another notch on my belt this past week, so I’m hoping for ...
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 ...
Came across this one this evening: Taking several bites out of eating The crux of the Five Bite Diet is, skip breakfast, have five bites of something with protein at lunch, five bites at dinner. Pretty simple. But it sure does risk missing a whole bunch of nutrients. I don’t think it’s for me. Update: Wow, seeing a teenager ...
Well, I survived the weekend, despite a really bad Saturday – we had my oldest daughter’s birthday party early because of conflicts in March. Something like fifteen 9 year old girls for a Hannah Montana/High School Musical theme party. Can you say pizza and cake? I couldn’t. My mouth was too full. But, I rebounded with an ...
I feel pretty good about how I handled yesterday. I didn’t eat enough calories, again (less than 1200), but I only had two and a half hours sleep the night before. 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 ...
If nothing else, I ought to be able to post about what I’m eating, correct? Well, that depends on me sticking to logging my meals… so, we’ll see… Anyway, here’s yesterday’s food: January 3, 2008 FOODS Calories Carbs Fat Protein Breakfast Egg Beaters – Egg Beaters, 0.88 cup(s) 105 4g 0g 21g Lunch Kraft – Light Catalina Dressing, 2 Tbsp 60 12g 1g 0g Breakstone’s – Cottage Cheese – Lowfat 2% Milkfat Small Curd, 0.25 ...
When I started this Hundred Day Head Start on September 23, I wanted to break some rules and see if it made a difference. I threw out the spreadsheets I used to plan my daily exercise and log my daily fat, carbs and protein. I didn't want to be tied to anyone's methodology, including my ...
Man, I had the worst day yesterday. The subject is most definitely NFB (not for blogging), but when I got home I got into a contest of "I love you THIIIIIIIIIIIS much" with my youngest daughter, which I desperately needed. Looking back, though, I did pretty well with the food - not perfect, though. If there ...
I had to do some planning for today. Scheduling challenges with sick kids, family obligations, and work. Nothing that any of you don’t go through every day. Breakfast – Went big because I knew I would be eating a late lunch – 2 eggs, 2 slices bacon, wheat toast, 1 glass of milk. Late lunch/Early dinner – ...
Challenging! Breakfast – small bowl Raisin Bran. Lunch – Mixed Greens, egg salad, lite italian dressing. Dinner – Roast turkey breast, small serving mashed potatoes. Snack - 1 protein shake. The challenge: Numerous – broken washing machine. That was my exercise. Ever move a washer full of water? Trust me, lots of full-body exercise for the fat man. Other challenges ...
