The Gift of Yourself

December 17, 2011

It’s six weeks since I started my diet and exercise regimen… I am now just over 200 pounds, or nearly 22 pounds down from where I started. To her credit, my wife took our wedding vows literally, loving me for better and for worse.  At the beginning of November 2011, I’d certainly never looked worse.  [...]

Learning to not Hate Green Tea (Love is Out of the Question)

December 10, 2011

It’s five weeks since I started my diet and exercise regimen… now with assistance from green tea in lieu of my preferred beverages: coffee and diet soda. I used to hate green tea. Hate it. H-A-T-E This is one of the reasons I suspected it was probably very good for me. I tend to dislike [...]

Rogers Called Me

December 7, 2011

I kid you not. The Office of the President no less. It was too late to fix the problem, and they had no excuse as to why they wouldn’t budge on their prices, but it was a nice call nonetheless. Of course I didn’t actually get to speak to the President, unless the President is [...]

Can you look at yourself naked?

December 3, 2011

Today is four weeks since I started this physical rebirth. Sixteen pounds doesn’t seem like much to have lost, and maybe it’s gone unnoticed by other people, but there’s already a perceptible effect to me. The other day I passed by the large mirror in the washroom at my workplace… and I actually caught my [...]

The Hacker’s Diet – November 2011

December 1, 2011

So, when my weight hit 222 pounds I had something of an epiphany and decided on a diet and exercise regimen.  I chose The Hacker’s Diet, which I’d actually tried 2 years ago.  Nothing wrong with the diet, I just wasn’t committed enough to stick to any kind of reduction. As diets go, Hacker’s couldn’t [...]
