Bye-bye Pam! No more aerosol and “who knows what’s inside” cooking spray for me! I went to Bed Bath and Beyond and found this fancy looking aluminum can that was advertised as a “Gourmet oil sprayer“. I just had to have it. It wasn’t cheap but I figured that if it works I’ll save at [...]
During my transformation I’ve been getting a lot of comments and a lot of questions. One of the most annoying one has been “So when are you going to be done with your diet?”. But nothing really tops the ultimate question that I get more times than I could care to count: “What’s your secret?”. [...]
Thanks guys! @devkl @TheRightFitBlog # @mindflux Lots of fun tonight! Hope you don't get cooked overnight! in reply to mindflux # As of tonight my total miles ran for the year is 666.6. Kind of freaky! # Ran 3.02 miles in 24 mins and felt good. Just another easy run in preparation of tomorrow's speed [...]
I’ve been losing weight, mostly fat, for the last 7+ months and I feel like I’m in the home stretch. I have lost 70+ lbs and I think I only have another 10 lbs to go. But this last 10lbs seems to be the toughest to lose. Why’s that? I see a lot of people [...]
I’ve been doing a lot of 5K and 10K races during the spring and I finally got up to where I felt confident trying something longer. So last Saturday I went to San Antonio, TX to run the 10th Annual SARR Carrabba’s Classic Half Marathon. Since it was my first it was naturally a personal [...]
Off to run an easy 5 miler. It's 9AM and already 83F. Ugh! Should have gotten up at 6AM. Hindsight 20/20 blah blah blah….. # @keeponrunning It's nice to see your tune change from one day to the other. It's a true roller coaster, huh? So where's the race report? in reply to keeponrunning # [...]
This week I’m flying solo. I have been tracking my calories for over 230 days. I wrote down every single food item I have consumed and every single calorie that made it into my mouth. This is a very tedious process and aggravates the hell out of my wife when I get up from the [...]
I’ve been writing a lot about my current and future plans and my transformation but what I haven’t shared much of is the past. My story to obesity is not the usual one, or at least not in the sense what I would consider usual. It certainly isn’t the standard “I’ve been overweight/obese all my [...]
This is probably the last installment of my weekly updates. My weight has not moved much this week at all, I’m really coming in for a smooth landing at around 166 lbs for now. I lost 0.2 lbs this week which is practically nothing, but considering the amount of food that I had been eating [...]
@reconstruct30 I can lose 2 lbs just by going for a run. Yesterday I went from 166.2 to 164.7 in 1.5 hr even though I drank 100 oz of water. in reply to reconstruct30 # RT @DaveZinczenko: EAT THE BACON: Fat doesn't make you fat. Too many calories does. Fat is good. Just not too [...]
