Flirting with 200
Weighed in at 200.5 this morning, for a loss of 2.5 pounds. An ideal week, if you ask me — good eating, 5 nights of good Stairmaster work and even a 9-ounce filet and a few bites of chocolate cake for my cheat meal, and still lost 2.5. Not bad!
I’ll start the weights today or […]
It’s Weigh-In eve…
and while I don’t think I’ll be coming in under 200, I hope to shed at least two pounds, which would put me at 201 and half my goal. Did 45 minutes on the Stairmaster 5 out of the 7 nights this week, always after I’d eaten my last meal of the day. Had a […]
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 […]
Hey, You Two Mastadons
Why don’t you stop yammering for a second and get off your gargantuan asses and take pictures of yourselves? Mantra Two:
Pictures by Tuesday.
Pictures by Tuesday.
Pictures by Tuesday.
Monk & Cap, help me berate these sunsabitches.
Cheater, Cheater
Just chiming in here about a cheat meal. I do a cheat meal per week, just to stay sane and keep from overindulging accidentally. After an excellent week, today will be mine. Think I’ll stick to my traditional Taco John’s bean burritos (without subtracting the cheese). Unless Mrs. G chimes in and reminds me of something […]
The General drops 5
Finally got the good week I was shooting for to get me on a roll…weighed in at 204 this morning and was very happy with that. I’ve been working out at the gym, although last week I only made it there twice. Will make it there 5 times this week, so I’ve still got plenty of […]
General 1, Ruby Tuesday 0
Mrs. General and I took Grandma out to eat last night to Ruby Tuesday. On the upside, RT is one of the only restaurant chains around that still has a salad bar (what ever happened to those?); on the downside, they also have a lot of not-so-healthy menu items. I skipped ‘em all and had […]
I love Someone’s In The Kitchen
Yes, it’s actually me saying that. I went in there the other day for the first time, because until then, I thought they just sold cookware, and that would put it alongside fabric stores and Hobby Lobby as places I never want to spend time in, ever.
But I was misinformed, because they sell all kinds […]
Mrs. General’s shrimp tacos
Just a little suggestion from The General’s table, where Mrs. General has whipped up some healthy dinners lately. We had shrimp tacos the other night (seafood tacos are my favorite kind of tacos), and it’s a pretty simple, healthy recipe. You just need:
Corn tortillas (about 100 calories for 2 of them)
Shrimp (depends on how much […]
The General in the Gym, Part 2
Was back in the gym first thing today (by “first thing” I mean “before coming to work” because work has a way of sucking me in). Did 10 warmup minutes on the treadmill, then about 50 minutes of lifting, then 20 minutes of cardio on the treadmill. I am taking the advice of the researchers […]
