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!…
As expected, this was a month where the pendulum swung the other way. The weight pendulum, that is. After a few months of decreasing my weight, I gained back most of it. My average weight for April was 208.9lbs. Almost up to my January weight. It would have been higher if I hadn’t revisited Intermittent…
I’ve been thinking about it for a while. I think it’s time I went back to some Intermittent Fasting. I fell off the Intermittent Fasting wagon a few months ago. Actually, it’s closer to eight months or more. Maybe “fell off” is the wrong description. I had wanted to try something else. The problem is…
Last month as a pleasant surprise. Weight-wise, that is. I didn’t get as much exercise in as I had hoped. And I didn’t get to bed earlier enough on a consistent basis. But I still managed to lose 2.7lbs off my average weight for the month. So, I was down to 206.5lbs. With a high…
One of my goals for my five-year plan is to earn $500 from a side hustle. I don’t know what the side hustle will be. Maybe it will be my writing. Maybe it will be something else. I’ve wanted to have another source of income for years. But it’s getting from idea to reality that…
January was more of a level setting month. It’s my starting point to get back on track to reach my Marathon Weight (180lbs). I started the month feeling the impacts of the holiday season. Lots of food. Lots of sweets. And lots of drinking. My average weight for December was 208.3lbs. But that was a…
It was almost four years ago that I decided to try to get my weight down to 180lbs, which I dubbed my Marathon Weight. And for over two years, I was doing very well in that endeavour. Using Intermittent Fasting as my dieting tool of choice. I was encouraged by my previous success of getting…
July weight loss went in the right direction. But not very far. My average weight was 203.9lbs for July. Down from the previous month, but only by 0.2lbs. Highest weight was 207.6lbs and lowest was 200.6lbs. The month was off to a good start because I was cutting out TV during the week. It’s a…
I decided to skip the April 2023 and May 2023 Mile Markers because they canceled each other out. My weight loss for April was 0.4lbs. And then I gained it back by the end of May. So, a net gain of zero from where I was at the end of March. For both of those…
March was a better month than February. The weight pendulum has started swinging the other way. And I think it was just reminding myself not to snack after 9pm that had the biggest impact this month. Let’s be clear: It didn’t always stop me from snacking. But I managed to reduce the snacking. My average…
