Weight Loss on Pause?

After losing a miraculous 20 pounds in 7 days my body decided to just stop losing weight. For 2 consecutive days I ate around 1200 calories and worked out about 2-3 hours each day with no weight loss. Talk about a demotivator.
I then ate regular food for 2 days and actually put on  4 pounds…. [...]

I lost 20.1 pounds in 7 days

Last Monday I wondered allowed on this site if it was possible to lose 30 pounds in 10 days. I started dieting and working out something serious in an effort to see if that was an accomplishable task – it just might be.
I weighed 363.3 last Monday and 343.2 today. How you ask? By eating [...]

Is it possible to lose 30 pounds in 10 days?

I will let you know at the end of 10 days.
On Monday I started a diet. I’m self-employed and so I get to set my own hours and it really helps when sticking to a diet and exercise routine. South Beach always works great for me and so I thought I would give it a [...]

I ask important questions up front like, “Were you ever a dude?” and “Are you a Wiccan?”

I’m not sure if I posted on here about trying e-Harmony again in December of last year, but  I did. Surprisingly I was matched with very few women and the ones I was matched with weren’t a match at all.
What is it about online dating services that makes me feel like I am bargain basement [...]

Down 7 Pounds

Weight Watchers seems to be working – slowly but surely. My goal this month was just to lose 8-10 pounds. If I can do that consistently for 12 months then I will be able to lose around 100 pounds and reach my goal weight of 265 by the end of the year.
The hardest part is [...]

Take A Look At Me Now

When I tell people that I am training to be a football player they always ask, “Well, are you training?”
I wish that you could follow me around for a couple of days and see what my life is like. I wake up and start working immediately, then I take lunch which is usally me eating [...]

Dallas Desperado Tryouts Looming

As I prepare to become the next walk-on Desperado I find that my body is rising to the challenge. Just two weeks ago I started hitting the weights really hard. Last week I wanted to see if I could bench press 135 pounds 100 times – 4 sets of 25 reps, not all at once. [...]

Popular Blogger Lasts 8 Days on Detox

Heather lasted just 8 days on the detox. Makes me feel better than I made it 18 days, but people, let me tell you, it’s harder than you’d think.
My roommate is about to start another detox, he’s the one that told me about this one in the first place. His new one comes with [...]

Now Heather Armstrong and Oprah are Copying Me

Pulled from Dooce’s Website:
Yesterday was also the first day of a 21-day diet cleanse that I’ve decided to do that prohibits me from eating any sugar, gluten, caffeine, alcohol, or animal products. It’s the same cleanse that Oprah did, and when I read about how it was making her feel I became intrigued, bought the [...]

Change is Hard

Our self image, strongly held, essentially determines what we become. – Maxwell Maltz
Last night in my MIS class our Prof hit on some really great points about self-image and why people, no matter how often we try to make them change – don’t.  The importance of this information was tied into the fact that [...]

Detox Day 21: Well, there was no day 21…

I actually tried to diet on Saturday, but on Sunday I was all – “Why Bother”. By Monday I had put 5 pounds back on. I don’t know if this is a result of my poor eating or my lifting weights or just a fluctuation. What I do know is that I have no plans [...]
