  • Day 7

    The last few days have been a huge bell curve. I mentioned a couple of days ago that one evening this week a friend brought me Vietnamese pho, which is extremely salty, and that I ate that for two days. In short, from Monday to Thursday my weight was up over five pounds, which really

  • Day 3 Drama

    Yesterday I was strict on the program during the day, but not in the evening. If I am going to cheat, I know it should be during the day, and not at night. I didn’t have a lot of choice. I didn’t even cheat too bad… a friend brought Vietnamese pho for dinner. Yes, the

  • Is today Day 5?

    It is hard to accept that it is Day Five of my program because I have not stuck to it religiously. I am going to stick to it mostly for a few days or weeks, but will definitely be diving in completely after a time. In the meantime, my weight is down 8.2 lbs. in

  • Day 2…ish

    I did not make it through the day yesterday as I would have liked. I had two meal replacements, and then I made an omelette for dinner… and then I had a couple of carrots… and a bag of popcorn. This morning was my Lodge’s monthly breakfast for men’s mental health, and knowing how badly

  • Day 1… Again.

    I saw my doctor yesterday and was disgusted with the numbers I got… but I already knew that I would be. I had decided before going into the appointment that I would be rebooting my program efforts today… AGAIN. I must sound like a broken record, but let’s try this one more time.

  • Is it Day 2?

    True to my experience, I have had extremely low energy today. I got a good night sleep, but I have not been able to get anything accomplished. I have a couple of appointments this evening so I will have to get up and go. Wow… and I am not even entirely on the program yet.

  • A New Day

    I did not post for the last couple of days. I do not feel like writing now, but I decided to drop my streak (at 1,360 days) and start fresh. Today is Kinda Day 1. I am not fully on the program, but I am mostly on it. Tomorrow morning I will finish the last

  • Day 1359

    I am really at the point where I wish I was re-starting my weight loss program today, and not Tuesday after Thanksgiving. I really do hate myself at this weight. This weekend will not be a bang, but it will be my last eating for a while. I have to get back on track.
