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 [...]

I guess it’s been a while since I posted anything.  I really haven’t felt much like writing anything.  I don’t really know what to say.  I’ve been really bad the last several weeks on my diet and exercise plan.  It’s been almost non-existent.  I feel like total crap, and I feel like I’ve written these [...]

11-11-08 – If only . . . .

If only I could stay on track.  If only I could stick to the plan for more than one day at a time.  If only I could just get with it and stay with it.
I was just looking over some old posts from this past summer.   I had  a pretty good roll  going there for  [...]

08-11-08 – Healthy You Challenge Update

This has been a very good week.  I stayed on my eating plan for the whole week, with the only glitch being Saturday night’s dinner, which was at a restaurant.  I overdid it a little bit, and ended up being 130 calories over my limit for the day.  But, I was 130 calories, or more, [...]

08-03-08 – Ready for another week

I cheated on my eating plan again yesterday. That’s two days in one week, and I succumbed to my two biggest weaknesses, Chinese take-out on Wednesday, and an Italian Hoagie on Saturday. I’m still not sure why I did it. Since I’ve been keeping a food log and writing this blog, I’ve [...]

07-31-08 – Right back on track

When I woke up this morning, I felt lousy.  I was expecting it after last night’s take-out Chinese binge.  I had a real food hangover.  You know how you feel the morning after overeating?  It’s almost like a real hangover.  I gradually felt better throughout the day, and I made it out for an evening [...]

07-30-08 – I blew it tonight

I guess I have to say that the evil little voice won today’s little battle.  I was saying in last night’s post that the voice was being vocal, and it was even more so today.  I was hungry all day long.  I don’t think it was physical hunger, but rather it was psychological hunger.  2000 [...]

07-21-08 – Got two walks in today

I hope I didn’t overdo it, but I got two walks in today, one at lunchtime, and one tonight.  My lunchtime walk was the usual around the block.  It’s a long, triangular-shaped block.  For me, my best time so far is 12 minutes.  Today it took 14, but it was blistering hot outside.  Then, tonight, [...]

07-20-08 – The Moment is NOW

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what is within our control, and what is not. The conclusion I’ve come to is that there is almost no moment within our control, yet we have the capability to control almost every moment of every day. Now, this may sound contradictory, so let me explain [...]

07-13-08 – Feeling better, of course

I don’t think I’ve contracted any type of virus. I think it’s what I’ve been thinking all along; it’s my body adjusting to the healthy eating. This happened to me last summer when I was trying to lose weight and get healthier. I had bouts of nausea, bowel spasms, and cramping. [...]
