Make American Girth A Target!
As much as I despise the Florida Fondler, he isn’t quite this fat but Americans need to work harder (myself included) on our obesity crisis. Weight issues costs the nation billions in lost productivity, not just work but via medical … Continue reading
Weight loss has finally made some progress
I know I rambled on about this two days ago with my AARP dig but it’s such a thrill to be under 250 pounds again. I think Obama was president the last time I was this light and probably during … Continue reading
How March 2020 v. 3 Feels
Of course, I was pretty fat two years ago but the graphic of Kermit is a more accurate portrayal regarding my frustration with trying to lose the stress-eating weight I gained last month. At least I didn’t break my March … Continue reading
Finally under 260 pounds!
It took well over a year but c’mon, I really didn’t get serious until I finally gave up and joined Planet Fitness (or Fatness as I call it for my condition). Getting down to this lower weight was my diehard … Continue reading
My weight is under 260 for the first time in over year!
Today required a double take with the scale but since I can’t get to the gym and scheduling bike time on a week day is a nuisance, I’ve had to cut back on eating; one of my favorite activities! Well, … Continue reading
Some progress, I fit in my “new” jeans
The new year started off with one ugly realization…the weight I’ve put on during the Pandemic and probably going too far during the Holiday Stretch. Talk about a stretch too, I couldn’t fit into my standard jeans easily so I … Continue reading
Woo hoo! LDL is lower
This morning, I went in for my six-month checkup to see how I’m doing after that big, tow-hour physical examination. It was mainly a blood draw which contained fantastic news. Well, the news that seemed to matter to the doctor. … Continue reading
Elaborate Health Assessment 2019
This ordeal, and I will call it that, was way more work for me than any physical exam. It involved me doing a stair-stepper thing for three minutes (good thing I exercise, I would’ve dropped dead sooner), a plank (I … Continue reading
My first Wellness/Lose It challenge
For the next four weeks, I will be participating in my employer’s latest Lose It challenge. I agreed to this because Somara has been twisting my arm for a couple years to join. I finally capitulated under two conditions; she … Continue reading
No running for a couple weeks
After a couple weeks of excruciating pain in my right knee, I got a doctor’s appointment to have it look into. By the time I did see him, it had improved and pain has now moved into my right ankle. … Continue reading
Finally back at the gym…ouch
As I’ve been getting back into the groove of Austin life, using the gym has been the immediate short-term goal but on weekdays I’m easing into it. Firstly, Daylight Savings Time has messed up my sleep hygiene so getting to work … Continue reading
New weight-loss plan…stop eating at night
Somara has lost a significant amount of weight. Enough that she needed to buy new clothes…and she has been rubbing my nose in it because she hates exercise, says it’s boring. Since I’ve ballooned back up after my leave last … Continue reading
Battle of the Bulge ’17
I’ve been ignoring the elephant in the virtual room lately…me. Last year, my illness really pulled off the weight to the sound of 20 pounds. The only good side effect of losing one’s appetite with occasional vomiting. The weight came … Continue reading
