Day 939
When I set out on my last challenge to myself in May, I weighed 291.8 lbs. and would lose just over twenty pounds before my downward slide began. This morning, having dropped 8.6 lbs. Since Sunday, I am one pound over that number. I am going to stay on track this time… I am going…

Day 881
Yesterday was mostly a day of rest. My body needed it after the previous day’s activity. I also confess that I had both a handful of almonds (in lieu of my third meal replacement) and a handful of peanuts (in addition to everything). I confess, as I was leaving my buddy’s house in Grimsby, I…

Day 800
I had a great day yesterday but for whatever reason I did not sit down to write. Oops. I continue to sleep very little but am not at all tired throughout the day. That might have something to do with how much coffee I drink when I am here… or it might just be because…

Day 760
After a wet and rainy day yesterday, this morning is sunny (for now) but windy. I am told that it is going to rain later, but so far there is no sign of that, nor is it expressed in my phone’s weather app. We will see. Yesterday was the first day since I arrived that…

My Perfect Ten
When I set out on this evening’s walk, I did not expect to be breaking any records. By the time I arrived home, I had broken every one of my records. Despite my resetting all of my apps, it was still reporting my progress every 620 metres or so, which was throwing me off… but…

Day 169
What a great day yesterday was! I got amazing news from my doctor (huge weight loss), I spent a lot of the day with my loving wife (who had to work, but she was still here); I went for an amazing power walk with these tremendous stats! Distance: 7.25 km (5.00 km) Duration: 1:17:03 (54:41…

Number Three… or Number One?
Some of us seem to go to great lengths to procrastinate. I decided that this afternoon was a good day to go for my third walk. I was not sure how I was going to feel, so I did not set out with a distance in mind. After the first two kilometres I was feeling…

Day 94
Today’s article could just as easily be titled ‘Perception of Progress: Do not trust your memory!’ I suspect I will have a lot of people who know exactly what I am talking about. I am in the phase where I feel like I have lost a lot of weight, and that I haven’t lost anything.…

Was it a Workout… or Two?
I set out to go shopping this morning… on foot. It is the second time that I have done that since I started the program, and we are sixteen days since my last one. I have not worked out in that time. More than two weeks ago, upon returning from that first (grueling) walk, I…
