Le Tour is underway once again and it has a couple of new twists. Instead of a prologue time trial to begin, this year’s race begins with a true road race. As pointed out by the VS. television crew, this means that anyone can lead after day one. Speaking of the television crew for VS, [...]

Paleo Update
May 18th, 2011
Chris Doelle 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 [...]

Chris Doelle We had a great time at the Jacob’s Well Field Day. Dallin ran (and got first) in all four of his events!
Paleo Faileo
April 26th, 2011
Chris Doelle 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 [...]
A Cycling We Will Go
April 11th, 2011
Chris Doelle That’s right. The cycling has dropped off quite a bit in the last year – it was my second lowest amount of miles ridden in a year since I started keeping track (29 years ago!) While I have already doubles last year’s total, it is far from a great start. To that end, and with [...]
Major milestone reached – and a bonus along the way!
July 5th, 2009
Chris Doelle That’s right! I have broken the 200lb barrier. Thinking back, the last time my weight began with a 1 instead of a 2, I was about a year out of college. I have officially now lost 41 pounds and accomplished the initial goal I set for my “getting back in shape” plan. In retrospect, it [...]
I will be close, but may come up a bit short
June 16th, 2009
Chris Doelle 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 [...]
These clothes make everyone look good!
June 2nd, 2009
Chris Doelle I’ve managed to keep dropping the weight despite some trips to the “fattest city in America.” Houston, Texas. At last weigh-in, I was 208 pounds – a full 32 down from when I moved to San Marcos. I only recently started to actually do strenuous workouts. Up until now, it has all been about 1) [...]
