Weigh In

I weighed in this morning at 281.
During my trip, I had a few meals that were not consistent with the diet plan I was using.  I ate at Joe’s Crab Shack, the Buggy Whip (a family owned steak house) and had a picnic prepared by a family member that included a lot of junk food… […]

Five Lifestyles That Do Lead To Weight Loss

There have been at least five times in my life where my lifestyle did lead to an ideal weight or weight loss at a rate that would lead to my ideal weight.
I’ll cover each in more detail in the future, but I thought I would list them for you to ponder:
1. Running and eating well.  […]

Blood Pressure

One of my main motivations to lose weight was my pre-surgery blood pressure and occasional chest pains.
My pre-surgery blood pressure was 155/90.
Yesterday it was 138/86.

Low Fat Dieting Sucks And Other Heresies

The FDA is still recommending reducing fat in your diet in order to lose weight.  Here is a quote from their web site:
“Limit portions of foods high in fat: dairy products like cheese, butter, and whole milk; red meat; cakes and pastries.”
Here is the URL if you don’t believe me:

They piss me off so much.   […]

Weigh In

I weighed in at 279.5 this morning.
I injured my foot on friday (stepped on one of my kids toys), so I don’t know how much walking I’ll do early this week.
Breakfast was home-made chicken vegetable soup with all organic chicken, carrots, potatoes, peas and green beans.
I had buttered (organic) rye toast (organic) along with the […]

Weather Was Horrible Yesterday

We had a freak snow storm with high winds.
I didn’t take a walk yesterday.
Today I weighed in at 280.5.
Any diet and exercise program will at times not fit your lifestyle or circumstances. There is no reason to beat yourself up because you missed a walk or ate a huge piece of chocolate cake.
You have […]

Iceberg Lettuce

Last night I had a salad with iceberg lettuce.  A week ago or so, I had a wedge of iceberg lettuce.
I do enjoy a wedge with blue cheese crumbles from time-t0-time, but I generally try to avoid it.
Why?
I don’t know this myself, but I have heard that there is really very little nutritional value in […]

Daily Update

I weighed in at 281.5 this morning.
Yesterday, I walked 2 miles pushing a stroller.
Lunch was two bowls of meat and vegetable soup.  The meat was a combination of elk and beef.  Veggies included parsley, potatoes, carrots, broccoli and squash.  Everything was organic.
Dinner was fine dining.  I started with a carrot/ginger bisque.  Then a blue cheese […]

Natural Cures “They” Don’t Want You To Know About

I just finished reading Natural Cures “They” Don’t Want You To Know About by Kevin Trudeau.
It was long and redundant in many areas.  He repeats himself quite a lot.
However, there was some excellent information in this book.  I recommend reading it.
It is available on Amazon.com or if you want my copy, just be the first […]

Another Big Breakfast

I weighed in at 279 this morning.
I ate a huge breakfast including two fried eggs, two pieces of buttered toast, a slab of smoked salmon, vegetable juice (juiced the veggies we didn’t eat last week because new veggies arrived from Diamond Organics), a half grapefruit and half a mango.
I’m off for my daily walk… which, […]

On The Road Again

I was on the road again today.
It’s much more difficult to eat a good meal while on the road… especially for lunch.
For dinner, you can always choose a fine dining restaurant.  They aren’t nearly as common as Europe, but you can find them.
What do you do for lunch?
The alternative I recently found was a health […]

2.5 Miles

I had been avoiding my driveway for my walks because it is a quarter mile long and is a 40 degree climb.
I felt so good this morning that I went for it.  That made my morning walk about 2.5 miles instead of a mile to my property gate and a mile back.
I weighed in at […]
