It’s been a while since I gave an update on my quest to reach my Marathon Weight. And to be honest, not much has happened. In the first six months of 2025, my average weight has been 199.8lbs. Going down a little one month and going back up a little the next month. During that…
I like to write about the things I want to do. Because I want to take advantage of the Hawthorne Effect. That’s when you change your behaviour because someone is watching you. Not that you are watching me exactly. But sort of… A week ago, I posted about my plans for April. And I broke…
Finally, I’m getting back on track. The pendulum is swinging the other way. My average weight went down to 199.7lbs. It’s only 0.8lbs less than last month. But it’s in the right direction. Highest weight was 205.2lbs and lowest weight was 195lbs. Getting enough sleep and not snacking late at night really helps. And I…
Shortly after my birthday, I came up with three priorities for the year. And for March, I looked at that list every day. To make sure that those priorities stayed top of mind. I tried to find some step every day to move forward on those goals. I plan to do the same in April.…
It’s been a while since I mentioned The Comfort Crisis by Michael Easter. It was my favourite read of last year. Every now and then something that Easter mentioned in the book pops into my brain. Like the fact that our ancestors, the hunter gatherers, were extremely fit. Not only were they fit, but their…
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…
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…
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,…
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,…
