Day Eight – I can feel the magic – 52.5

October 31st, 2005 · No Comments

I am a pound away from a ten pound loss this week – My pants are looser and I feel pretty good about the whole idea! This is good timing since today is Halloween (aka Free Candy Day). To complicate matters, we have a going away lunch in the lab for a few [...]

Day Five – Eating your own dog food – 55.5 to go

October 28th, 2005 · No Comments

Last night the scale read EXACTLY THE WEIGHT I STARTED AT.
This morning I have registered another half pound off my frame – a half pound more than my current record.
So I guess I can’t stress enough how important it is to not measure your weight daily unless you are prepared to witness numbers jump up [...]

Day Four – Take a Step Back to 56.5

October 27th, 2005 · No Comments

I was disappointed but not surprised to see my weight up a smidgen this morning. The correct way to look at it is that I am down five pounds over four days, not that I am up half a pound overnight. There is no good way to measure yourself at home without error [...]

You know your diet is working when you see a smartie on the floor, in the hall at work…

Day Three – 56 Even

October 26th, 2005 · No Comments

Well day three has finally started and I am already feeling a little better about the whole idea. No headache today and I woke up feeling pretty good (except for my leg – but that’s another story). Sure I may be down 5.5 pounds, but again – it’s mostly water. I’ve asked [...]

Day Two 58.5

October 25th, 2005 · No Comments

Now don’t get all excited there, this number will probably shoot back up and wobble down over the next few weeks. This is most likely a sudden drop due to water weight as I eliminate processed carbs and sugar.
Historically I drop about ten pounds in the first week and then slowly creep down over [...]

Day one – 61.5 is the number

October 24th, 2005 · No Comments

Well I have started my diet again, and this time I will not stop until I reach my goal. Last time I did a bang up job for the first thirty pounds or so and then got sick – felt the need for a weeks worth of grilled cheese and soup and then never [...]

What an incredible day

October 18th, 2005 · No Comments

Well you have to watch ‘In Good Company‘ if you are:
a) A parent who works for a company.
b) Have ever worked for someone younger than you.
Can’t recommend it enough.
Back to daddy night…

Spectacular Weekend

October 16th, 2005 · No Comments

We slept in a little Saturday (okay – not much at all) and because Alex was a pill the night before, Saturday was an offical ‘no TV’ day. We had a blast! We played games and worked on math problems and played with the magnets while the radio sang softly in the background. [...]
