Rest Day

Posted under 2006 - May 31st, 06 - Comments Off

Day 236 I ended up taking a rest day today.  It was unintentional.  I was too tired and sore to run this morning, so I thought I would do a Cathe upper body DVD (Push-Pull premix) later, while the guys were out fishing.  The storms put a stop to that, but we were going to [...]

I’ve been on a mission to eliminate high fructose corn syrup after a friend and I discovered it has been known to cause digestive problems. (Which I have.)  At the time, I figured if I just quit drinking pop, that would do the trick.  Not so fast there, zippy.  I was idly perusing the little [...]

This link showed up in a comment to yesterday’s post (a comment? Heh, the comment on this blog in its new incarnation.)  It’s full of Hacker’s Diet success stories and blogs and such.  Yay!  It’s such a sensible idea– I was sure there would be success stories!  I also noticed new incoming links in my [...]

Hacker’s Diet

Posted under Hacker's Diet - May 18th, 06 - 1 Comment

Monday, the same day I posted my previous post, I read The Hacker’s Diet.  I downloaded the Excel file and am using the tools in conjunction with FitDay.  I like the Hacker’s Diet because it removes all morality and judgment from the weight loss process.  I did a search to find out if anyone else [...]

88 Kilos

Posted under 2006, Plans and Goals - May 15th, 06 - Comments Off

I’ve switched to weighing myself in kilos. Less emotional baggage. I’m still working on why I’m so bad to myself. I need to get to a mental place where I can say to myself “No, you do not want soda. It’s disgusting and bad for you. It gives you stomach aches. You don’t need it.” [...]
