Decisions

Sunday, October 17th 2010

I came back to CK a year ago to lose the 10 pounds or so that I had regained after losing more than 30 in 2007. I think it's true for many of us that it's a process and regaining weight is part of it. The final lesson is learning how to turn things around when the first few pounds are regained and I think I've come to terms with that.

Basics

Friday, October 15th 2010

I came to realize that wearing my old baggy clothes wasn't helpful in maintaining my weight loss. It was just too easy to regain a few pounds, then a few more, when it didn't make a big difference in what I could wear.

I can't believe how long it's been since I've posted. Frankly most of the past two months I'd like to forget.

-In my state of bliss following the root canal I misstepped going ...

Games

Wednesday, May 12th 2010

I have no idea what's going on or what I'm doing/not doing. I've been consistent the past few weeks, there have been no big events or changes but my weight has bounced around in this 138-141 range with no apparent rhyme or reason. I feel as though I'm trying to play some game but there aren't any rules.

The lack of progress with weight loss has just added another layer to my foul mood. In a repeat of last year our so-called spring has been lousy for the garden. After all kinds of wacky dry,...

The Deepwater Horizon Oil Slick

Sunday, May 2nd 2010

The impending environmental disaster sure to occur wherever the Deepwater Horizon oil makes landfall is never far from my mind these days. It takes the edge off my appetite but I may end up over target due to some additional alcohol.

What a nightmare.
