It seems appropriate that this post is being published on 9/11. For me one of the lessons I took away from that horrible day 11 years ago was that we can never know when our time is going to come. And to take my life and live it, challenging myself constantly not wasting a day […]

This has been another hard month. Part of it is psychological, I’ve spent most of the last 7 years in the 180’s, always seeming to lose and then regain the same 10 pounds. The other part of is that I don’t look as heavy as I actually am. Most people usually peg me at 30-40 […]

One thing I’m realizing about weight loss is that there are no easy answers. For the first few months I saw my weight loss as a pattern (and being a programmer, I like patterns). Then last month and this month, the pattern went to hell. After my last report, I began gaining weight and not […]

“Reduce your diet by 500 calories a day and lose a pound a week!” I’ve been seeing headlines like that for a long time and I’m sure you have too. So why when I did exactly what was promoted did I not lose weight? Since I’ve had such great success at losing weight on a […]

My weight loss was slightly weird this month and didn’t fit my usual pattern. It could have been one of a few things or a combination: Going on a camping trip the first weekend and imbibing a bit with some mead and chocolate. Adding coconut meat and water to my diet and not eating as […]

I normally only write about food-related items, but this has gotten me so upset, I’ve decided to put this out there. By day, I’m a computer programmer. I am an employee of a contracting company. Next week, my current contract is ended and I’m going to be starting one that requires me to work from […]

Wow, what a month. After a few months of calorie restriction that didn’t go anywhere along with copious amounts of exercise where I ended up gaining weight, I went on a 3 week milk cure and lost almost 6 pounds in three weeks. This month I embarked on my ketogenic (low carbohydrate) eating plan. I […]

So this past month was a game changer. But probably not in the way that any average person would think. I’m changing my way of thinking about all this because I’m realizing a bunch of things I thought and blogged was wrong. So mea-culpa. If you don’t know, these posts are written early and scheduled […]

Despite my detox issues of the night before I was asleep by 8:30 last night. I slept til 5:30 and then alternately dozed and read til about 7am. (That’s par for the course for me on a Friday morning). I got up and went in the kitchen, to make breakfast. I wasn’t really hungry, so […]

(For 3 weeks, I did the milk cure, drinking 3 1/2 quarts to 1 gallon of raw milk each day. Except for water, all I had was milk. This is a series of posts (25) keeping track each day. For the entire series, start out on “Trying Something Old“). All links to the series is […]
