The trials and tribulations…that’s what it’s all about. You see the diet part is easy, you make the choice to eat better, less, or not at all and you lose weight. And really, the exercise part of it just speeds the process up, it isn’t required. Let’s start with that, the sweaty bit. It doesn’t […]

Another Wednesday night poker… At least the cards were hot… I actually tried to get out of this one but had trapped myself with poker chips in my truck…the last of the Yurt- ing punishments. I took it easy on the food yesterday, and last night…I may have had 4 or 5 ribs…plus…some scotch and […]

Let’s start with a bit of the old weight… At this moment in time I weigh in at…….. 246.6 Not bad at all considering the man weekend I just survived. 10 guys, 3 days, 2 nights, tents, and temperatures never above -20. The annual GBG Yurting trip is in its 6th or seventh year, but […]

A decade ago I thought I might learn to play the geetar.. I did make a half ass attempt, I took guitar lessons and knew my cords pretty well. Other things trumped the importance of that and I gave it up. I have picked up the guitar over the years but I never really put […]

Another beautiful day! Freezing cold! I took a day off the gym, a pleasure for sure. Hit the sauna, the hot tub…and I ate right all day without any late night snacks! The result…not much…if I lean just right on the scale I can get it to show 243… Not what I was hoping for […]

Damn myself! double damn me!!! I woke up yesterday and clicked and clattered […]

I did diet this weekend, I ate right, not too much, not too little. I’ve been to the gym every day, pushing hard. no breaks, sweating my ass off. The result…244. It’s laughable really. I’m getting stronger, back to what I was a few months ago, but I was still 10 pounds lighter then. Last […]

I had the misfortune of commenting on a fellow facebookers post regarding Kevin Ogar, the 28 year old crossfitter recently paralysed while competing. And I understand her passion for the sport, she is active in it so is her spouse. Kevin was 6’2, 210 pounds. In great shape. He was attempting a snatch of 235 […]

Not losing weight isn’t fun when you’re ’dieting’. Let’s be honest, this week wasn’t dieting. Eating late…drinking beer…No good. Ya I hit the gym a few days but it isn’t enough. Lost at poker last night and was home early. Opened the fridge and had a short conversation with a take out container of red […]
