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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Feeling better already
I may be imagining it (but who cares, really), but I think I’m already starting to feel better with this good eating business. Hard to put a finger on “how” exactly I’m feeling better, but all the water and good food seems to be giving me more energy throughout the day and much less of […]
Spreading the Massive Beasts Love
Well, I’ve begun emailing friends of ours from high school and college about this site, and to their credit, most of them have refrained from telling me how nauseated they must have been to see our starting pictures. They are getting quite a laugh out of it, which is to be expected, and everyone’s been […]
Wow — that’s a total of 30 pounds
we lost this week, all combined. Way to go, fatties!
The General loses 4 pounds
Well, I’m very happy with the first weigh-in, considering my weekend indulgences. I’m down to 208 early, and I’m guessing I can drop at least another three this week, which will put me way ahead of the game, and give me some momentum going into the holidays — momentum/motivation NOT to eat like a pig […]
The eve of the first weigh-in
Well, I’m pretty psyched to weigh in, although I’m not expecting the stupdendous results that the rest of you guys may have. I plan on getting my ass kicked this first week, thanks to our weekend at the Black Forest Inn bed and breakfast. I had a couple of very off-the-grid meals, but I kept […]
