My weight loss method of choice has always been calorie counting which, when kept to, always succeeds. I am looking at trying what is called mindful or intuitive eating. This is just “eat when you are hungry” and “stop eating when you are full”. With regards to exercise it is “be more active”. Please read [...]

That’s right… I’ve put on some weight which is why I haven’t posted anything in awhile. It’s real easy to proclaim when you are succeeding. Not so much when you are struggling or worse yet going backwards. Later in the day and at night are my biggest issues along with weekend parties or dinners with [...]

When I started this weight loss journey in 2006 I had a waist size of about 52″. At my lowest weight I had a waist size of about 36″. I am now up about three notches in my belt from my lowest which is how I measure my progress as I never use the scales. [...]

My hope is that my journey may help someone else and with Christ’s help I will overcome this addiction to food or more accurately my addiction to “certain” foods. Those of you that [...]

My last post was a commitment to keep within calorie counts and do an activity/exercise every day. Well yesterday was a friends 50th birthday and like an alcoholic I gave in to temptation and ate too much because of all the food around me. My “tweak” is can be one of two things. Either I [...]

I know everyone struggles with keeping the weight off or even just staying on track. Every day I get up and say “just for today I’m going to stay on track” and then I don’t. I take comfort in Paul’s words in Romans 7:15-25 where he is open about his struggles with the flesh so [...]

On the plus side I made it to the 2/3 of the way around the earth in virtual miles today. According to my research the earth is about 24,900 miles in circumference I just went over 16,600 miles. If you divide 24,900 by 3 you get 8,300 and 8,300 x 2=16,600. I still however am [...]

Today I hit 16000 miles on my exercise bike. That’s about 600 miles short of 2/3 of the way around the world. I think it was kind of neat that I hit 16000 exactly. When I punched in 11.4 miles my formula on the spreadsheet hit 16000 on the nose. I started this in the [...]
