Losing a part of me

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

    Yesterday was a very long day… a travel day no less. Yes, I ate poorly. Yes, I made some bad choices (but also had to eat what my family wanted to eat, which was Chicago-style pizza. Yes, I could have done worse… so even though my weight has continued to creep up, I am thankful

    You know you spend a lot of time traveling when the officer at US Customs and Border Protection’s secondary screening office greets you by name… before he is handed your passport. Because I am in the middle of the Green Card application process, every time I cross into the United States I am scrutinized to

  • Day 1003

    I got a lot done yesterday and today in advance of my trip, culminating with reserving my Uber (which will pick me up at 3:45am) and taking Princess Sophie to our neighbour Sue, where she will spend the next fortnight. Of course, I took her for one final walk before dropping her off. It is

    Lodge hurt my diet… but not terribly. I actually dropped a very small amount of weight this morning, but just imagine how much more it could have been if the lodge that we visited last night did not serve the meal after lodge (at 10:30pm), and if they had not served pulled pork (leaving me

    I ate pretty well yesterday. I expected to be down. I was not.

  • Day 1000

    I do not know why I went past what I should have eaten yesterday evening. I do know that I paid for it on the bathroom scale this morning. What I was hoping would be the day that I hit that milestone – dropping below the terrible mark – I instead gained a pound. Welcome

  • Day 999

    I was hoping that my weight would finally dip back below that dreaded number today… no such luck. Tomorrow the odometer changes from three- to four-digits. Hopefully I will be able to celebrate that very small but important re-milestone then.

  • Day 998

    My weight dropped another pound this morning, bringing me back to exactly the evil mark that I swore I would never hit again. I did not expect to drop below it today, but it would be nice if I could do so tomorrow or Wednesday. I am still having trouble falling asleep, but once I

  • Day 997

    I am still not sleeping nearly as well as I would like, but sometimes I wonder how accurate the scores on my fitness watch are. I trust it completely for my walking and heart rate, but whether my sleep score is correct? I’m not sure. Yes, I think I could have slept a little better

    Yom Kippur. The Day of Atonement. May we all have an easy fast and be inscribed into the Book of Life. Since the fast did not begin until after dinner last night there is no weight loss from it just yet… but the fact that my weight was up a ridiculous amount since Sunday meant
