We’re into the second week of November and I realized that I didn’t put out my plans for this month. I will be focusing on my weight loss this month. I gained some traction in October, and I want to continue the momentum. The goal is to get my weight down to 190lbs by the…
I cracked the Intermittent Fasting code. For myself, anyway. It started with being comfortable with being Uncomfortable. Using that as a mantra was a game changer last month. But I’ve also started thinking of Intermittent Fasting as an exercise. Sometimes, I do my regular time restricted eating (TRE) and hold off having my first meal…
The good thing about gaining weight one month? I often have enough motivation to get back on track the following month. (That is except for 2022. Which was one continuous slide up the scale. But we won’t go there.) My average weight for October was 198.3 lbs which 4 lbs less than September! Highest weight…
I weigh myself every morning when I get up. Then I weigh myself again after I go to the bathroom. And I usually weigh myself at the end of the day. If I’m fasting, I’ll even weigh myself before bed. But when I mark down my weight for the “day”, I use the lowest weight.…
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…
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…
This was another good month for staying on track. Slow and steady is the way. Stick to the fundamentals: watch food intake, get good sleep, and exercise. My average weight went down 2.6lbs over June’s weight. So, I was down to 202.6lbs. My heaviest of the month was 205.4lbs. Lightest was 197.4lbs. Towards the end…
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…
