End of the Year — A Look Back

Here’s last years post about resolutions.   I actually completed some of these as well as a few from years past.  Here is the year before that’s list that included things from the year before that.  I’ve gotten through a good number of these things also.  From the big list I’ve finally gotten an anti-depressant (controlling [...]

A change is gonna come.

This year I represent what is a fairly large group of people: people that have lost a lot of weight and struggled to keep it off. I have gained 21 pounds in 20 months, a pretty serious but pretty average gain for someone like myself. I found it to remarkably easy to lose 70 pounds [...]

Three great recipes & a life update

So I’m having a good week, although I still haven’t exercised much. I did do a quick Yoga wake-up video on Thursday, but that’s it. We planned to go to yoga on Friday but the boss kept us in a meeting too long and we missed the beginning. Angela (a colleague) has worked out a [...]

Losing It

So the plan is: 1.  Write it, then bite it, then blog it.  I’m going to blog everything I eat. Everyday.  2.  Exercise at least 2 times per week.  I originally typed “3 times” but let’s not get carried away. EDIT:  Started to work out but am suffering from some kind of knee issue.  Couldn’t [...]
