Most of my blogs are all business - diet & exercise. Here is one for fun.(updated 9:00pm)
Dunna-Nunnas
As many of you know, families develop their own words for things... I just had a flash back to my 'weight gain' period where I packed on the fat I carry today. Those of you who have gained weight know how this goes: Your pants get tight, but you wear them until they are completely painful to wear - or simply impractical (For example, the threads holding the button give up - >...

It's always a shame when it happens on a weigh in day. The scale is up from last week.[Insert the Price is Right "blew it" music] Bomp bomp ba-Baaa... WHAAaaaaa" *laugh*
How to Analyze a Gain
I've actually wanted to blog about this for a while.

I've felt really lethargic this week... at first I thought that it was because I ate 3100 calories on Saturday, then burned 1100 on Sunday, but I think it has more to do with the missed high calorie day on Tuesday.

My intake was within 100 calories of maintenance and my macro ratios (17% fat 26% protein and 57% carbs) are pretty friggin good! I hit my 650 calorie exercise target yesterday morning, too!On Track for 2 Lbs
In my blog yesterday, I said I felt like I had gained a little weight even though I don't know how that would be possible given my intake. At the end of the blog I was trying to tell ...

Wife canceled Weight Watchers because I'm doing so well with CK!Amy has been paying $40/mo for meetings she doesn't attend and food she doesn't eat. I've been doing so well with CK that she told me last night she wants to know what I'm doing and how I'm doing it. Now THAT is flattering.
Frankly, I don't think she is quite ready to commit... The messages I'm hearing aren't quite right. Everything she says with regard to starting are "have to" and "guess I should" so...
