It’s that time of year again. Imagine Paul Revere, riding his horse through town shouting: The Holidays are Coming! The Holidays are coming! For some, the holidays are already here. And for others, they are just around the corner. Holiday time is tricky. Especially, when you’re trying to watch your weight. Even in these pandemic…
Running a marathon is hard. It’s 42.2 kilometers or 26.2 miles. As you cover more of the distance, it gets harder to complete it. The enthusiasm and fun diminish as the pain sets in. And worse, the temptation to stop creeps in the longer you run. That’s why it helps to have “mile markers” or…
Seventeen years ago, I started training to run a marathon. I was turning 40 and I figured that it was time to start working on some things on my bucket list. Running a marathon had been something I wanted to do since I was a kid. I trained and ran the marathon. And then I…
It’s been almost 6 months since I reached my KFC Weight (200lbs) and I’m astounded that my average weight for the last 6 months has been 198.5lbs. Why astounded? I’ve been trying for years to get to that weight, but I barely came close in five years of trying. And now, I’ve been able to…
I reached my goal! I got down to my KFC Weight (200 lbs) and I went to visit the Colonel. Was it Finger Licking Good? It tasted better than I expected. I thought it would taste greasy and disgusting. It tasted like victory. For two and a half years, I’ve wanted to get to my…
My KFC Weight is just around the corner! I’m three pounds away from my target!! It’s good news, because I have been fretting about getting kicked in the butt by Resistance on other fronts: This is my first post in a month, I haven’t made any progress in writing the next draft of my play,…
I first heard about Intermittent Fasting while listening to a Tim Ferris podcast a few years ago. I don’t think the person being interviewed called it Intermittent Fasting, but he didn’t eat his first meal of the day until 3pm or 5 pm. Crazy! The thought of it gave me hunger pangs. Two years ago,…
Three months ago, I mentioned that I was trying to get to my KFC Weight (200lbs). I’m still trying. I started the year at 226lbs. Right now, I’m just under 210. They say that the last ten pounds are always the hardest… It sure seems that way. I’m not obsessed with losing the weight, but…
For almost three years my friend Mike and I would post our daily weight in the hopes of encouraging each other to lose weight. We didn’t diet, but just tried to be aware of our eating. In those 34 months, our weights went down and went up. Eventually, we started marking who had lost the…
