Weekly Update – 02-09-09

Not too much to report tonight. I have neither lost nor gained any weight in the last two weeks. I guess it’s good that I haven’t gained, but not so good that I haven’t lost.
Things have been busy at work lately, and I’ve been using that as an excuse to not eat as [...]

01-13-09 – Happy Belated New Year!

OK, I see it’s been more than a month since my last post.  I think that’s the longest I’ve gone without posting anything since I started the blog.  Sorry about that.  I don’t really have any excuse other than just pure laziness.  Also, I was just very bad with my meal and exercise plan over [...]

10-05-08 – The Phillies, Random Notes

The Phillies won their National League Divisional Series Playoff today against the Milwaukee Brewers.  The first round is only 5 games, so they won 3 games to 1.  Now they go to the League Championship Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.  If they win that, if I dare to hope that far, they’ll go on [...]

07-09-08 – I feel like crap

I feel really lousy tonight, and I’m not sure why.  I hope I’m not coming down with something.  I’ve felt very bloated and blocked up since this afternoon.  My dinner tonight was 16 oz. of prune juice and 2 Gas-X tabs.  The prune juice is working so far.  The Gas-X, I’m not so sure about.  [...]

I’m still tired and stressed out

I don’t know why I”m so tired and stressed.  I’m so tired that I’m having to drink coffee, which makes me even more stressed, not to mention the reflux it’s causing.  Then when I come down from the caffeine buzz, the crash feels so bad that I have to get more coffee.  Then more stress, [...]

06-02-08 – Another lousy weekend

I had a lousy weekend.  It was completely my fault – I didn’t accomplish anything I set out to accomplish except to go to the grocery store.  At least I won’t have an excuse to eat junk this week.  As I said before, I’m beginning to wonder how I’m ever going to have the discipline [...]

Another snacking temptation

Boy, some people just keep on bringing food into work to share!  Today, it’s Harry and David’s special flavored popcorns.  I think the one was caramel-flavored and the other chocolate, but I didn’t get close enough to see the details on the label.  I just saw the Harry & David’s.  I figure if you don’t [...]

05-03-08 – Panama’s Birthday

We celebrated my father’s birthday last night at a very nice restaurant in downtown historic Bethlehem, PA.  I was bad, but I knew in advance that I would be.  I had french onion soup, a half-portion of salad, sesame-crusted sea scallops, and, as if I needed dessert, I had blueberry cheesecake Napoleon.  They served my [...]
