Health tip: Hate yourself enough to love yourself
I know, hate is a strong word, but think about this for a moment (especially you new runners). Our entire lives we focus on self-preservation. From an early age we’re told “Don’t touch that, its hot.” or “Don’t jump off of that, it is too high.” And, obviously, this is good advice. It saves us [...]
What your lungs remember your legs quickly forget
My recent jogging resurgence has taught me a little bit about my own body’s memory. It turns out that my lungs have not forgotten that this past spring I was jogging a lot. That I was jogging further and further and more consistently than any other time in my entire life. And that I was [...]

I didn’t eat very well this week. I ate more than I should have, and drank too much beer (my goal was to only drink beer one evening this week, and I think I drank like three or four evenings).
I did well with beginning my exercise routine again though. I ran on Tuesday, Friday, and [...]

This last week was probably my worst ‘food week’ on the diet in a very long time (besides our cruise, vacations don’t count on my diet). I started off the week right by going on a hike but I didn’t get too much exercise after that. Which would have been ok if it weren’t for [...]
Tracking my weight all the way back down to 180, again
It is hard to believe that The Diet is about 3 and a 1/2 years old. It was over three years ago that so many of us decided to get healthy, lose some of our extra weight, and try to help one another stay motivated to do it. It still surprises me to look back [...]
Weigh in: May 19, 2009
I didn’t weigh in last week. On Monday I was sick and the rest of the week sort of just ran away from me. This week I was really excited to weigh in to see how I did over the last few weeks.
Today I weighed in at 189 lbs. which is down three pounds since [...]

You’ve all been waiting with baited breath, I know – but at long last, here it is – my weigh in for this, our sixth week back on the diet.
It has been a great week. I ate very well this week. I don’t remember missing a single meal, I ate enough calories every day, and [...]

If I were to graph my week of activity it’d look something like the silhouette of a camel standing in the sunset. The beginning of the week started out great with a really great basketball session on Monday and Wednesday and we finished off the week strong with some basketball on Sunday evening. In between [...]

A bad start to the week and a strong finish resulted in me not losing a single pound this week on the diet. I didn’t hide this fact either. On Tuesday I let my competition know that his chance was now.
I hope he took it.
This week I’m going to try very hard to make [...]
Weigh in: April 14, 2009
Well, I’ve got good news and bad news. Which would you like to hear first? Ok, I’ll give you the bad news first. The bad news is that I didn’t have a great weekend insofar as the amount of food I ate. I didn’t eat anything bad. Just a little too much. (What can [...]
Weigh in: April 6, 2009
I’m happy to report that I did much better during this second week of the diet than I did during the second week of the diet back in June 2006 (Wow, has it been that long already?) when I gained 3 pounds. This week I’m down another four pounds and I currently weigh 199 pounds.
My [...]

How to turn weight gain into weight loss, and a slight change to The Diet
The entire purpose of The Diet is to help myself, and everyone else on the diet, stay motivated to get to a healthy weight and stay there. Usually this goal is somewhat shrouded under the veil of a competition. But for good reason: competition usually motivates people.
But that isn’t the case with everyone. Some people [...]

The first full week of the new diet effort is over and done with. The response from this round has been great. I really like having family and friends join in on trying to get healthy. It helps me stay motivated and focused on my goals and I hope that I help others do the [...]

Here we go again. Back on to get it off.

A way overdue weigh in and an update on the state of the diet.
Weigh in: Week Sixty Six
Better late than never, my weigh in for week sixty six.
Weigh in: Week Sixty Five
A week of loss, in a good way and a reply and plea to James.
Weigh in: Week Sixty Four
I've got a new goal and I'd like to continue to keep track of my weight again - because I think that is the factor to me gaining weight.
