Weight Loss
I can understand wanting to avoid a little pain – but this is ridiculous!
When surgery becomes the preferred method of weight loss we are in trouble. In this article from the New York Times doctors are suggesting that those with a Body Mass Index over 40 should have this elective surgery. I personal know what it feels like to have a BMI over 40. That is what I [...]
feedback loops
I’ve been thinking about feedback loops. I know, its kind of a random topic, but hear me out. I think that it is very important. In our body we have neurological feedback loops. If you touch a hot stove – you do not think, ‘wow, that was hot, I should remove my hand now.’ Before [...]
Say goodby to the fat(er) belt – now down about 75lbs of fat
One of the greatest days in a weight loss regime is hitting the end of a belt and needing to punch whole in it in order to make it still work for you. I’ve got this great belt. I really like the way it looks, the texture etc. I bought it at the hight of [...]
Sometimes you just have to chew on something: recipe for Fortified Cream of Wheat with Grape Nuts
Here is my biggest problem with weight loss diet recommendations. They always include a “great tasting health shake for breakfast”. Shakes can taste great, although I do not think that most of them do, and it is a great way to get nutrients – and it a perfect solution to eating several small meals a [...]
Weight Training As An Aerobic Exercise – you betcha!
Weight loss is a complicated issue. One of the greatest conundrums of weight loss is that the more exercise you do the more efficient your body gets a burning calories. So the 5 miles that you ran at the beginning may have burned 1000 calories – but 5 months later it may only burn 750 [...]
Please tell me I’m not this insane – I think that the world may have stopped spinning
Guess what?! I did not do anything “productive” – weight loss wise – this week. And the last time I checked the world did not stop spinning. The sun still came up over the mountains and still woke up in the morning. Isn’t that great! Life goes on. I found this little zinger from The [...]
Weight Loss In The Winter Time: The first week of snow
Weight loss in the winter time is always difficult to manage. But this winter I not going to put on any weight. In face to make this weight loss regime the hardest I possible could I managed to “schedule” my last 30 pounds to lose right during the holiday season. Maybe not the best plan [...]
I thoroughly enjoyed the weekend
I thoroughly enjoyed the weekend! This was a great weekend for several reason. First off it was General Conference for my church. I honestly wish we could do that more often than twice a year. I certainly need the upliftment and encouragement more often, but I supposed absence makes the heart grow fonder in all [...]
Where has all the weight lost gone? Start singing that to “I need a heroâ€
Where has all the weight lost gone? Start singing that to “I need a hero†In some of my posts I have mentioned not only that I am losing weight, but that I cannot account for where it is all going. I can only see the evidence that what I am doing is not losing [...]
My Body Screams – “Save My Ecosystem”
This weekend I gained some practical knowledge about the term “starvation mode” and weight loss. Starvation mode basically means that your body thinks that you’re trying to kill it, so it stops listening to the weight loss signals you’re giving it – like eating less, exercising more etc – and starts to consume muscle and [...]
