It’s that time again. I’ve got to curb my TV watching so that I can get other things done. At least, I need to curb it during the week. I don’t smoke. I don’t do drugs. And I don’t drink to excess. But… I watch a heck of a lot of TV. It keeps me…
The Around the Bay 2025 Road Race is three weeks from Sunday. There’s still time for training. I haven’t done as much as I wanted. Surprise, surprise. But I’ve done more than I did last year. Even though I’ve run the distance many times, my main goal is to finish. 30 kilometers is a challenging…
I’m annoyed with myself. Spoiler alert: My weight went up again in February. Not a lot. But it went up. I’m annoyed because I was on track to go down in weight. For the first three weeks of the month. I was on track. But in the last week, I messed up. I messed up…
Another year sped by. Last year, we celebrated my birthday in Fort St. John at Keaton and Kate’s place. This year, it’s just Deb and me. But we were at Caileigh and Chris’ place last weekend. And that was my real birthday present. Spending time with my immediate family. The world is a very different…
I was talking to my friend the other day. And I mentioned that I weigh myself every day. “Obsess, much?” Drew asked. And I had to think about it. I mean I blog about my weight loss journey a fair amount. And I do weigh myself every day. A few times during the day, even.…
Ah, averages. My monthly weight for December benefited from averaging. Because my weight gain was at the end of the month. Ah, the holidays… So, the average didn’t reflect my actual weight at the end of the month. But poor January. Even though my average weight went down each week, it was starting from a…
Last year, I signed up for this year’s Around the Bay Road Race. Before I ran the 2024 one. Talk about optimism! And now, I’m realizing that it’s only two months away! Last year, I wasn’t consistent with my training. I started late. And I didn’t do much of it. This time, I’ve been running…
You know, sometimes I don’t get it. Weight loss, I mean. I weigh myself every day. So, I see the ups and downs. And usually, I can see a gain and know where that came from? My weight went up? Oh, yeah, I ate a medium pizza by myself. My weight went down? Oh, yeah,…
I love Teen Burgers from A&W. Not only are they delicious, but they give me jolt of nostalgia. When I was little, my mother would give us some money and we’d go to A&W for lunch. Or dinner. Me and my siblings. Five of us. Sometimes my cousins Mark and Paul would be there, too.…
December was a “step back” month. To be fair, it usually is. For the last few years, I’ve gained weight in December. It’s a tough month to “be good”. Parties. Celebrations. Traditional foods. Late nights. Drinking. You get the picture. The last couple of years, I gained more than 3 pounds in December. This year,…
