I was briefly annoyed at myself tonight. It’s a family tradition to go to Five Guys once a month or so, and that day was today. … At least I didn’t eat any dairy! But it was a high-calorie meal with a bacon burger, fries and a Mr. Pibb. So the soda streak ends, though […]

A bit of a frustrating day, but a good reminder not to believe the scale is the be-all. Despite finishing up the week with virtually no dairy and one natural soda, setting a couple of personal bests at the gym and running six miles this morning, my weight was actually up a few pounds. Fortunately,

A quick blog from Day 12 … The good news: I killed it at the gym. Another burn of more than 1,300 calories. The bad news: I went over my calorie goal for the first time since starting the project. Beer and chicken nuggets got me. We had a social event after work (technically, I

I apologize for being a little late with the Day 11 blog … I had another good day that included another milestone. When I reach a workout milestone, I think about where I was when I started this fitness project three years ago. After I’d moved back home from Tulsa and was living with my

Ten days in, and already so many victories. Today’s win was another low on the scale at the gym, as I checked in at 193 (there’s typically a two-pound difference in the scale at home and the gym). I could have eaten better, but didn’t eat dairy and didn’t drink soda. I do need to

Day 9 of the Wedding Fitness Project was an odd one. I had dairy for the first time in more than a week, drank a pop (a natural one, though), yet came in 900 calories under my daily goal and registered my lowest weight since 2001. Yeah, read that again. Lowest weight. In more than

So I’m a day late on the eighth entry for my wedding fitness project, but I had another pretty good day. I ate quite a bit Monday, about 2,600 calories, but I also burned more than 1,300 calories. I did slip a little and have a tiny piece of cheese with my leftover dairy-free enchiladas

I’m sitting on our deck, with my laptop and a beer, listening to the Royals game as I type my final blog of the first week of this project. You can’t ask for much more than that. Today was one of those days I really did not want to work out. My original plan was

I’m tired. I know why … my workout routine at times looks like something a boxer does to train for a fight. This week alone, I’ve burned nearly 5,000 calories. My Fitness Pal sets my weekly goal at 3,250. In other words, I have to avoid overdoing it. I often have to remind myself to

I know, I know, long time, no blog. The fitness posts (any posts, for that matter) have virtually disappeared. Excuses? I have none. Reasons? Well, there hasn’t been a ton to write about. I’ve been at the same weight (195 pounds to 200 pounds) for several months now. What hasn’t changed is my dedication to
