Firing on all cyclinders!

I am pleased to report that the weight loss continues. Just a few short weeks ago, I reported reaching 216lbs (my lowest since this effort began) and I am happy to report that I weighed in at 211 this morning. That’s 29 pounds lost since I made that a goal. I still need some help [...]

This used to never happen

Recently, after trips to the grocery store, I really don’t want to eat any of the stuff I just bought. It used to be such a task trying to figure out what to start with when you unload. (Usually, the junk food would win out.) I don’t know if it’s because I am just not [...]

Amazingly Tasteless

The tag line on the new Cherry Dr. Pepper is “amazingly smooth.” I am here to say that this soft drink is so smooth that you can’t even taste it. I took a swig and swirled it around to get my reaction to the new drink and immediately came to a conclusion. I kept it [...]

How do you take junk food and make it junkier?

I know junkier is not a word, but trust me – it applies. I just had to snap a pic after I saw this at the checkout of my local 7-11.  You are looking at a Butterfinger BUZZ! Yes, you read that right “With as much caffeine as the leading energy drink!”  So take the [...]

Protein packed day

I tried something a little different with my diet today.  I was tired of the quick, unhealthy lunches so I decided to have a PowerBar (Peanut Butter) and some beef jerky for lunch.  I didn’t feel a hint of hunger throughout the day. The problem was it worked too well.  Not only wasn’t I hungry, [...]

Fitness Update

Here is what I did yesterday: Total Calories: 1,825 % Fat: 17% % Carbohydrates: 61% % Protein: 21% Minutes of exercise: 0 I continue to come in low in the area of fat and although you would think that would be good, if it drops too much farther, it could be unhealthy.  I overdid the carbs by [...]

Fitness update – Pennie got me excited about it again

Now, I am not sure I will do a very good job of keeping up with it, but Pennie was asking me about a formula I had created back in 2004 which really helped when we were working together to drop some weight. The first thing I discovered was that I had a bunch of [...]

Cleaning out my cameraphone shots

This one cracked me up, but I apparently forgot to post it… I was getting my car washed and thought the irony was worth a photo. On one of my last trips to Victoria, I swung by my brother, Tom’s place and found him building a coffin. Not just any coffin – a coffin for [...]

Carl’s Jr. comes to San Marcos

I used to be a big fan of Carl’s Jr. hamburgers – we are talking from way back in the day (like the 80′s.) Although I had never actually eaten one until much later, they advertised on all the LA Lakers games. Being a Laker fan since I started watching basketball, and being the the [...]

Wanna earn $5 the easy way? NO, this is not an MLM scheme – haha

Okay, here’s the deal. I am trying to stop drinking soft drinks. I had pretty much eliminated them from the lifestyle and then, because I am do impressionable, I started drinking them again when Blake moved to San Marcos. (I really am that weak when it comes to food and beverage that is bad for [...]
