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…
What are you waiting for to start that project? To start your exercise program? To start learning that thing? The moons to align? When things quiet down? When you’ve done enough research? When you “feel” ready? You will almost NEVER feel ready. There’s no perfect time to start. Yes, there are some better times to…
My daughter has some food sensitivities and decided to go on the AIP diet. That’s the Autoimmune Protocol diet. And so, my wife and I are going on it, too. Sort of. I’m an omnivore. And I don’t have any food sensitivities that I’m aware of. So, I’m going to cheat. But I’ll cook the…
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…
I get Arnold Schwarzenegger’s daily newsletter. It’s full of tidbits of information about health and exercise. Five days a week. One of today’s nuggets was about dieting. But instead of restricting your food, you add to it. What? Instead of focusing what to remove, the suggestion is to keep a scorecard and focus on what…
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!…
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…
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s newsletter had an item about the science of Overeating. Apparently, the texture of your food can cause you to eat more. Softer foods resulted in overeating. In fact, people were likely to eat more softer textured and less-processed foods. Than eating more-processed foods that had a harder texture. Which is unusual because people…
