Day 916
The news that I read when I woke up this morning was much more positive than what I got yesterday. A student passed an exam yesterday, and he e-mailed me to let me know… and to thank me for the great class I taught these last four months. That was a great way to start…

Day 910
I did yesterday what I should be doing every day. I had breakfast and lunch, and then for my dinner I had a meal replacement shake. It may have taken me four hours to fall asleep after getting into bed exhausted, but at no point did I feel hungry. That is a huge victory! It…

It crucial for my weight loss strategy, there is no question that exercise is a critical component to losing weight and getting back into shape. That is an obvious and direct…

Day 142
A few extra mangos and some peanuts a few days ago caused my weight to jump nearly a pound and a half. Yet this morning, after a mostly good day, I was only down .2 lbs. Yes, I did have a couple of extra meal replacements… but I was still on a pretty good day.…
