Day 183
I do not know how far it will go, but the recent changes to my diet routine are paying huge dividends. The bathroom scale has me down another two pounds today. What I mean to say is that when I start a new diet – each time I have started on the meal replacements program

Let’s Go!
Everyone who has ever run or jogged knows that it is hard on the knees; everyone who has jogged while overweight knows that every pound extra adds more strain on the knees. That is why I do not plan to start jogging – or at least, going for long jogs – until I am under

Day 182
In an hour I will be going to the doctor’s office to get weighed. I am optimistic that I will be down at least one kilogram since my last weigh-in. That day – my fiftieth birthday – feels like a lifetime ago. I know that for the few days after my birthday my weight went

Day 181
I mentioned yesterday that I love it when the numbers on the bathroom scale are kind to me. This morning’s drop of 2.2 lbs is a result of several things that I did yesterday, including mostly good eating, a really strong walk, and drinking a lot of water. It might also be partially a correction

And What a Walk!

Day 180

Day 178
My passport finally arrived at 1:10pm yesterday, and after stopping for gas I was on the road by 1:18pm. As expected, I had problems at the border, but they did let me in. Yay. I had a bowl of cereal for breakfast, then a bagel while sitting and waiting with Stephane. I did buy some

Day 177
Yesterday was a mess. My passport did not arrive as promised (and guaranteed), so I had to spend another night in Montreal. I cheated… badly. Pistachio ice cream late at night is not a good way to diet… but maybe not a bad way to deal with extreme stress and anxiety.

Day 176
Yesterday I ate relatively normal… but yes, I ate shawarma for lunch and rotisserie chicken for dinner. I avoided temptation several times, including when my friend asked me to get her a Boston Maple Cream doughnut at Tim Hortons. This morning I met Esti for brunch and I was mostly good… a bagel with lox
