Spammers are at least more entertaining now

Remember the day when you would get a spam comment on your blog kinda like, “Great post,” or “well said,” and a link to some fast-cash-now scheme? Because the spam catching plugins are getting so much better, these doofs are forced to make their automated postings sound more real. The problem? When you have a [...]

Paleo Update

Okay, so it is natural to slip when transitioning your diet from the high-fat, high-processed, high-sugar junk – so I guess I am not a complete failure. I went to see my doctor last night and felt like a nervous kid going to confession. I blurted out, “I totally blew it today with a coke [...]

Paleo Faileo

Okay, so I am not 100% on this Paleo Diet yet (see earlier post.) While I have done a good job when my wife is around, I tend to fall back into old patterns quickly without her to keep me honest. The major slip-up has been eating some potatoes (which are no-nos when trying to [...]

My tastebuds are changing – my tastebuds are changing!

Who would have believed it? None of my friends or family would have – that’s for sure. Since making the decision to tackle the Paleo Diet, I have not only convinced myself to start eating better – the food tastes different. I started on this journey because a client is asking me to help promote [...]

I will be close, but may come up a bit short

Six months and 36 pounds ago, I didn’t really have a goal for my weight loss – and in the grand scheme of things I still don’t. I sorta pegged 200 pounds as a preliminary goal and put the deadline of June 21st (for personal reasons) as a target date. I am four pounds away [...]

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 [...]

Good things happening on several fronts

Seems that everything is coming up roses – well, not everything, but even those things that are lagging behind are moving in the right direction. First off the cycling. I now have less than 900 miles to log on my bike before I reach 20,000 lifetime miles. That’s kind of cool. Another thing (and one [...]

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 [...]
