Hello Again, Old Friend
Monday, May 26th 2008
This is an email to my former trainer Rebecca. I'm very excited at the prospect of working with her again. (It has been 5 years.)Hi Rebecca,
Here is what I'm thinking:
My goal is to lean out. I want to be cut by the time I graduate in December/January.
I have the knowledge to do this myself (thanks to you and a few good books), but... I'm seeking your help for four specific reasons: 1) To give me a couple of exercise sets that I can do in my present condition 2) To check my fo...
Levels of Hunger - Starving Past the Craving?
Tuesday, May 20th 2008
I had something interesting happen today... To start, let me say that I don't advocate this path, I just thought it was interesting.The past few days, I have been working flat-out. I had major assignments due for school and a major software release at work. I brought my usual healthy fare for snacks and lunch today, but I ate -none- of it. Protein pasta and w/ground turkey and tomato sauce for breakfast... and nothing from 5am until 5pm.
At 10:30am, I looked at the clock and was raven...

Susan and Synchronicity
Susan and I are no longer in touch (for better or worse). She was a sweet, yet horribly foul-mouthed, amazingly strong, fitness-mi...
Potatoes Not Prozac Experiment
Monday, May 12th 2008
About a week ago I powered through Potatoes not Prozac by Kathleen DesMaisons, and was so inspired that I jumped back into my clean, sugar free diet.DesMaisons' book is about 180 pages too long, so I prepared to distill the most interesting and important points in a blog entry. After completing a journal detailing the finer points, I leaned over the computer to pick up a stapler that I had knocked over. In doing so, I bumped the power cord. >Bzzt< Gone.
This version is actua...

Maintaining Weight, but Losing Food Quality
Wow - Time sure does slip by. Well, here I am munching on my banana, pineapple and cottage cheese snack. I've managed to maintain my weight at appx 232 since I "fell off the wagon" back in late Feb. Could be worse, right?
Amazingly, in all of this, I have slipped back into my sugar cravings. I've had sundaes, milk shakes, sugary cereal... foods that I found completely disgu...
