Okay, so my first seven days by myself at the gym is complete, and I'm feeling good about this so far. I still find myself not wanting to go but then I'll think about all of the benefits I'll reap and before I know it I'm in my work out clothes walking out the door. I've been progressing little by little each day while there, and just trying different things to see what works best for my burn.At first I was working on the treadmill, lifting weights, and riding the cycle for an hour each da...
Off I go into the wild blue yonder!

If only I had started doing something about this weight back when I was 17 years old. I've missed out on so much I wanted to do because of being too fat, including becoming a shut-in. Pictured here is me at 17 years old climbing into a T-38 Talon USAF Jet Trainer at Columbus AFB in north Mississippi during the summer of 1988.I always knew deep down inside that if I put my mind to it I could lose the weight.

"As I ate the pizza with it's strong taste of the tomato sauce and it's faint taste of herb that the cold soda washed away, leaving only the taste of grease and the succulent texture of the cheese, and as I ate the bread from each slice and washed it down with the crisp taste of the soda, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy and make plans."I was thinking about Ernest Hemingway how he never forgets to describe exactly how things taste. I like that, and so I wondered w...

I just took my blood glucose a little bit ago. I ate some watermelon maybe 1/2 an hour before that, and I had lunch 3 hours prior to it. I was just curious to see what it would be, not at fasting. I have been off of metformin for 4 solid days now. Last dose was on Saturday. I am really, really pleased with this number.108 mg/dL!
I certainly did not expect that. I figured maybe the 10% fat loss wasn't the reason why my numbers had been low these past 2 weeks. I thought maybe I was j...
