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.

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 [...]
