Side benefit
As a result of my weight loss and, in turn, my lowered blood pressure, I was informed today that I was FINALLY able to get health insurance after over 9 months of trying. All of the companies had been denying me due to high blood pressure, but that has come down to normal ranges […]
Yakov
The Yakov picture is up!! Enjoy.
I will also be updating the database for the graphics today at some point.
Losing weight and dignity by the hour
I just finished up a “lunch of champions”– a can of limas and salad with lowfat thousand island dressing. As I finished the salad I literally stuck my head into the bowl and licked the excess dressing off of it. I then drank the water that the limas were in. I think this is comparable […]
Vegas, Baby!!
For those of you that may not know it, the Beasts are all converging on Vegas for a reunion of sorts to celebrate the General’s birthday (29 and holding…you go girl!). This trip will take place a little over a month from today.
I know this group and odds are we’re gonna splurge at least […]
Powerless
I am still holed up in a Branson hotel room with the wife and a couple of dogs due to massive power outages at home. It may be the end of the week before they get the lights back on at my place. I didn’t get a chance for an official weigh in on Monday, […]
So…hungry…
Since I am pretty much in a perpetual state of sleep deprivation, every now and then I’ll take a run at what is the sleeping equivalent of jumping a retracting drawbridge in your car. For me, this is a) putting Mia to bed at 7-ish, and b) trying to go sleep right afterward and sleep […]
The General plods forth
Well, I’m down an unofficial 1.4 pounds, but officially it’s an even 1. (I weighed in at 204.2 last week and 202.8 this week, but I rounded to 204 last week and will round to 203 this week). Had a really good week on the Stairmaster at home — did 30 minutes three times and […]
Good Week
dropped another 4 pounds to put me at an even 285. I like the fact that the loss also puts me 50 pounds from my goal.
First to 20…
I weighed in at 205.5 this morning. That’s slightly more than 20 pounds gone so far and 10.5 to go. Only one cheat this week and the excercise is going great. I’m up to 3 miles in 45 minutes (4 mph is a good jogging pace for me, considering I have unusually short legs) and […]
7th (week) Heaven
I did a bang-up job on myself this week. I hit the gym long and I hit it hard. My goal was to get in 25 miles on the treadmill this week. I have to admit, I fell short of that goal. The ice storm that wrecked the Pirate also crippled my city, and my […]
