Down 3 more pounds to find myself at a hardly svelte 244 this morning. I wonder if I’ll actually see the 230’s this time around? So that marks day 2 of the no fun diet. No beer and no scotch…really I’m more or less doing a sugar detox. 2 eggs for breakfast, deliciously hard boiled […]

Oh man weight…such funny stuff. I dropped 5 pounds yesterday, no big deal. 247.2 I’m still monstrously chubby! If I could only keep the 5 pounds a day going all week…then we’d be getting somewhere. Yesterday I made a batch of chilli, which became lunch. For dinner I had veg and hummus. Lots of each! […]

The good news? I spent a week in an all inclusive and I don’t weigh more than I ever have in my entire life… Nope. I spent a week away in Cuba in an all inclusive. possibly drinking a few sodas and surviving on a high carb diet and I came back weighing exactly the […]

You know…it get’s old…244 I’ve been here before, groundhog days. I hate em! This one as always is my fault. I could have been lighter today…a bird soaring up in the clouds…ever so light and fluffy… Instead I’m a big fat groundhog because I ate a cup of greek yogurt, blueberries and raspberries, hemp hearts […]

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 […]
