Showers and steamers
Warning: This has nothing to do with our quest to lose 200 pounds, but I’m compelled to share it anyway.
It’s the morning of Christmas Eve day, and both of my kids are a little sick. Ezra (who is 7 months old, for those who don’t know), has a terrible runny nose/cough and has a doc […]
Early in - not much progress
I’m off to my parents place in a few for some unabashed gluttony. Crab legs and casseroles and baked goods will be eaten and there will be no shame in it. I wont be back until late tomorrow evening so I figured I’d go ahead and weigh in now.
211. That’s down 1 pound for the week.
I’m happy […]
Good News, Bad News
News from Generaltown: Got on the Stairmaster last night for 30 minutes, and it went fine. Not very much pain in my heel (although that’s gonna need a doctor visit at some point soon). Bad news is, I haven’t been tracking my eating as well the last couple days, and I’ve been running high on […]
Primetime
While we’re not quite “prime time” yet, our ideas are. Last night on ABC News Primetime, there was a story about 2 groups of people in a contest to lose weight (I believe they were 2 groups of co-workers). Each person in each group had to lose 15 pounds in 2 months (sissies). One group […]
Steppin’ To The AM
Close but no cigar for the 5:30 am workout, but I was there and going by 6 am. That gives me two hours of gym time before I have to hit the showers. I tried squatting today for the fist time in 1million years and it nearly tore my legs to shreds. I’ll have to work that […]
A New Problem…
My wife is a teacher and today was her last day before the break. Normally all of the candies and cookies she pulls in are more than welcome. This year, as you know, is different. She just sent me an email detailing her haul and was it ever a good Christmas. […]
The General Climbs Back on the Stairmaster
Wow, am I ever out of shape. I did 15 minutes on the Stairmaster this morning, and it was much more strenuous than it was supposed to be. And that was on level 3 (on a 1-10 scale). I know the progress will come pretty quick there, but still… I was out of shape three […]
Sticky Points
Waking up early in the a.m. to workout and the evening part of the diet. If I could get those two down, I’d be killing you guys. I always seemed to workout before our contest (although I ate for three men) but now it’s hard for some reason. I get to the Y at lunch, […]
Jalapenos are hot.
Sweet lord all mighty, I’m burning up.
I bought a handful of jalapenos today to make a nice little side dish of poppers for my evening meal. Fat free cream cheese put in the seeded jalapeno, wrapped in turkey bacon and broiled until bubbly will net about 30 calories of tastiness. I’ve made this, sans […]
General drops 2 pounds; Exercising is nigh
Well, I suppose it’s technically 2.2, but we’ll round down. That’s 6.2 pounds in two weeks, so I’m good with that. Last night was tough, since I was at a birthday party with gobs of ice cream, cookies, cheesecake, pies, etc., but I just had one bite of ice cream and one bite of a […]
