Many of us don’t experience real hunger very often. For most of us, food is aplenty. In the fridge. In a store. In a restaurant. We take it for granted. I’ve had a few people tell me that they never get hungry. They eat because they’re supposed to. But they don’t have their body telling…
I recently mentioned my monthly splurge. But if I’m honest, I have a weekly mini splurge, too. The weekend is approaching and I’m getting ready. I don’t go hog-wild on my mini splurge. It’s more of a relaxation of the rules. Where I don’t worry about the weight loss. And I am lax about when…
August weight loss continued in the right direction. My average weight was 201.8lbs, down 0.8lbs from the month before. Slow and steady. Highest weight was 205.6lbs. Lowest weight was 197.6lbs. I continue to see a link between not getting enough sleep or drinking enough water. Fortunately, I can course correct when I notice it. And…
And just like that, August is over! The summer break is done, and my schedule will be full again. Rehearsals. Choir. It’s all starting back up again. Because it will be so busy, I’ve decided on my priorities for September: I’m hoping to learn my lines for The Game’s Afoot by the end of September.…
At the end of each month, I like to splurge. It’s kind of like a cheat day. I weigh myself every day. Except when I’m out of town. So, on the last day of the month… After I weigh myself in the morning… I splurge by eating. A lot! Food, glorious food! Because what I…
A recent edition of Arnold’s Pump Club newsletter included the following chart: It’s from You Can’t Screw This Up by Adam Bornstein. It indicates that all diets work because they find a way for you to limit your intake of calories. It shocked me to see Intermittent Fasting included. With diets like Weight Watchers and…
June ended up going in the right direction. Weight-wise. I wasn’t so sure at the halfway point. June was the month of Burn. Lots of extra food and drink. Late nights. Late snacks. Plus, visits from family and friends. I refocused on the second half of the month. Overall, my average weight was 205.2lbs. Down…
May was a better month for staying on track for weight loss. I managed to get my average weight down to 205.8lbs. That’s down 3.1lbs from April. My heaviest was 209.6lbs and lightest was 201.2lbs. It’s a combination of things. Intermittent Fasting. Getting to bed early. Not watching as much late-night TV. And getting in…
The month is half over. And if things continue to go the way they are heading, it should be a good month. Weight-wise, that is. I’m doing what I was doing last month. Intermittent Fasting until 5pm on weekdays. And eating normally on weekends. And I’m trying to get to bed on time. There’s never…
One of the biggest temptations for me is Food FOMO. Fear Of Missing Out. If someone brings in a treat, I want to have some. It’s easy to justify the indulgence. Just this once… The problem is that there’s always something that provokes the FOMO reaction. Two for one Teen Burgers! Free pizza! Homemade brownies!…
