Took the family to Gatorland in Orlando today, and here’s the thing about Gatorland – you need to go. No, seriously, whatever it is that you have planned in the Orlando area the next time you come around, you need to just go ahead and shuffle that around and make a trip to Gatorland. If […]
Interesting week this week – as discussed yesterday, I hit a week where the hunger, it is real and all consuming. Current Weight: 313.0 lbs Weekly Gain / (Loss): (-0.4) lbs Total Gain / (Loss): (-10.0) lbs Weekly Average: (-1.4) lbs Added the weekly average in there, because its important – and doubly so in […]
So, a major premise here is that I am always hungry – I live my life in a constant state of hunger. The goal is just to keep it under control – a low level hum in the background. Well, lately, the hunger, it has been assertive. I think about food. I dream about food. […]
Blog posts about blogging are not something I’ve ever been able to get behind … entirely too meta and self-aware. And redundant. But… I find it remarkable how much these things go in fits and starts. I’ve been doing well with my Weight Watchers points, and I’ve been running regularly. The problem is that between […]
Two workouts planned this weekend – a 3 mile run yesterday (Saturday) and a swim this morning for as long as I could stand it. I look forward to the weekend run in particular, because it feels so much less time restricted. And I’ve done some research about swim technique and have been excited to […]

When I started this whole journey back in 2012, one of the things I knew needed to happen was a support group or tool to help me get my eating under control. Hunger is not a reliable gauge of how much I need to eat – I’m in a constant state of hunger, after all […]
Somehow I got it in my head that I want to try doing triathlons. Not sure how this crazy idea got in there, but it is most definitely there. Of course, if that is ever going to go anywhere I can’t just keep running and running – there are two other disciplines in there, you […]
Two milestones crept up on me this week. I wasn’t paying attention, I guess, and both came as a surprise. On Monday morning, I crossed over the 1,000 mile threshold in total miles run. That’s since I started in November of 2012, with the vast majority of those miles in 2013. I got to about […]
Good morning, all three of you feigning interest! I had a good week this week, and these weigh in posts are one hell of a lot easier to do if you have a good week, you know? Current Weight: 315.8 lbs Weekly Loss: (-3.6) lbs Total Loss: (-7.2) lbs I read an article this week […]
