Click on the image below to enlarge the story of my caloric intake and fitness efforts for the month of December. (There’s no calorie count info for December 25 because I planned Christmas as a “free day.”)

Last Weigh-in of the Year

Thursday, December 31, 2009

14 Comments

This week’s weigh-in had to wait until this morning, since I was away visiting family for the past week. I treated Christmas Day as a “free day” (I didn’t count calories) but otherwise counted every single day, and stayed within my “budget.” This activity was considerably assisted by the new iPhone I received for Christmas—and [...]

175 lbs! That’s what the scale read this morning, and this means I have hit my unofficial New Year’s Day goal a week ahead of schedule. I’ll certainly be on my guard to keep the scale from climbing in the wrong direction when M and I (and the Bean) fly up north on Thursday morning [...]

Remember how I was all excited to get my recent blood work results back, because I was just sure that by losing 20 lbs, I would have improved my numbers? Well, I got my results back Friday and . . . it didn’t happen. My cholesterol was actually up a few points from when a [...]

The Blahs

When I biked home yesterday, I was challenged. The uphill grade of the ride, the relatively cold weather (this is Texas, come on), the wind which always seemed to be in my face. My quads burned, the traffic irked, and I thought to myself, I don’t seem to be making much progress. I felt utterly [...]
