Fridays are weigh-in days. Except today. Vacation has been good, though the last couple of days have tested my Weight Watchers point limits. BUT – today and tomorrow (Saturday) are travel days, headed back to Florida. At my normal weigh-in time I’ll (hopefully) be a few hours into a several hour drive. Overnight in Florence, […]
Aaaaand – we’ve got a continuity issue. This event was my 4th, in June of 2013. If anybody is counting, that would make it race report #4. However, I never did a race report on this event – some of which was laziness, some of which was politeness, some of which was dissatisfaction with my […]
On this family vacation, each family takes a day for dinner. Today is our day. This is a rather large pot of chili. Related – that is my 2012 Family Chili Cookoff Champion apron. I’ve got chili game.
On vacation to Delaware this week, and on the way up we stopped to have a picnic lunch at the Visitor Center for the Eastern Shore National Wildlife Refuge. Nice place – cool little small museum, and pretty scenery. Also, these guys. I’m waiting on a positive identification, but this is some kind of swallowtail […]
In case you missed it, you should take the next 17 minutes or so and watch John Oliver talk about food waste. Two quick takes on this: I’ve spent a good portion of my life in the food industry – in a grocery store through high school, in restaurants through college, and manufacturing as part […]
I ran across this the other day: http://lifehacker.com/fitness-is-a-skill-not-a-talent-heres-how-to-develop-1651281013 To summarize – things like motivation and willpower are finite, and not enough to get you and keep you fit. Instead, think of fitness as a skill that must be developed, which includes a lot of underlying skills – things like knowledge, going easy on yourself, etc. […]
Family vacation time! We are on our way to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, and first stop – Cracker Barrel. And I am still gonna stay in my points today. All week, too – if it kills me. Next stop – North Carolina!

Good morning to the one or two of you that might actually see this! Friday mornings are my weigh in mornings – and this morning, I weighed in at 317.8 pounds, which is a 4.2 pound loss from last week and a total of 5.2 pounds. Which is outstanding. I needed to see a week […]
I suppose we could call this one a Throwback Thursday, couldn’t we? Because this happened almost exactly one year ago, though I never did a race report. I’m a bit out of practice, but here goes nothing. The morning dawned bright and muggy. Nope – too much. Each year for over 10 years now, my […]
