Killing It!
I was planning on walking after my afternoon meeting. When we got home from the bank, I looked at the forecast and changed my mind. The current temperature at the time was 78°, but by 1:30pm it would be up to 90°. I did the math and knew that I had just under 2.5 hours

Day 252
I said something in a meeting on Friday last week that was haunting me yesterday. Fortunately, I got a good response from the head of the team I am working with. We were meant to have a meeting scheduled for today, and I had not heard back from them, so I started to worry that

Day 251
On this, the second day of Rosh Hashana, I woke up and told my wife, ‘I am going to walk ten kilometres today.’ I have not come close on any walk in Dallas so far, but the temperatures were not too bad – it was in the high seventies when I started, and probably up

Push It!
I was thinking, as I approached the last quarter-kilometre of my fitness walk today, that it was less than three months ago that I passed the exact same spot where I was today, and said ‘Wow, I can’t believe that I was able to finish five kilometres in such good time, with a pace of

Day 250
Shana Tova uMevurechet! A Blessed Happy New Year to all my Jewish friends and readers! As expected, my weight rebounded this morning. I am not going to worry about it – the holidays are the holidays. I am not going to go overboard, but I am not going to deprive myself. I will, however, try

Day 249
For those of you who have been reading this blog for a long time, you will know that I have days when I expect to be down, and days when I expect to be up. There are days when I expect to be down, but disappointingly I am not, and there are days when I

Don’t Lose Your Head!
It is important, whatever one’s state of mind, to be prepared. When one is not prepared, bad things can happen. Fortunately, sometimes those bad things can be mitigated, and no harm is actually done. I was not in a great frame of mind when I left the house this morning to go for my walk.

Day 248
It was a relief this morning to see that I dropped back under the 320lbs threshold. The number on the scale yesterday really freaked me out. I am glad to be back under that mark. It is all thanks to Leslie – her aura is conducive to weight loss. Yes, that is an inside joke!

Day 247
The bad news: I fell completely off the wagon yesterday, from the time I got to the airport until the time my flight landed. My weight this morning is back above 320lbs… although not by as much as I expected it would be. The good news: I am in Dallas with my baby, and all

Day 246
Princess Sophie has gone to spend the next few weeks with her friend Susan, who will take very good care of her. My bags have been packed and near the door since yesterday, although each of them has made at least one trip back to the bedroom for repacking. I decided to alter my plans

Mitch's quest to lose weight… a lot of it.
