Make your own food – lose weight – guarenteed.
According to eDiets.com the average American eats at a restaurant 159 times a year!
That is an amazing statistic if it is accurate. I looked up how many calories it takes to cook a meal and for me it is about 140 cal, for 1 hours worth of food preparation. If I made just one complex [...]
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 heroâ€
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 helping [...]
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 store [...]
Weekend planning: So much more to do.
Well, last week I rated myself in the B-ish range for reaching my goals. I’m feeling better about things this week so I’m not feeling the need to get over zealous this weekend. I have a tendency to do that as you may have noticed.
This is going to be a slow and steady weekend I [...]
Cognitive Dissonance and weight loss
This is a big concept that we really need to get our minds around. Like it or not we are subject to the rules of cognitive dissonance regardless of whether we know about it or not. So the best thing we can do is become more aware of how our mind works so we can [...]
Thoughts on my progress
This week has been the most frustrating one so far on this journey. The back injury has been a real problem and my general moral has been effected. When I look at it quantitatively I have to be pretty satisfied. This is the first time in years that I have been injured and did not [...]
Overcome: Endulgence desires
This week has been a little harder for me. I injured my back at the beginning of the week and I’m still recovering from that. There were only 2 days where I was not able to do much at all, but really even the rest of the week was a lot slower.
Generally I try to [...]
Weekend update 9-15-08
I am soooooo glad to be eating food again. 2 days is a long time to eat a few veggies and water. I fixed the Chick Pea recipe posted here on the blog and ate that several times. It makes 4 servings and I ate it all over the weekend. Besides that, it was all [...]
A little bit of organization will go a long way
Well, since the beginning of the blog I have been posting about several different topics (recipes, weigh loss, supplements, etc), but there has been little rhyme or reason to when I would post any particular topic. In an effort to make this site more useful to those faithful visitors and poster I am going to [...]
Overcome: Family on a different diet
This is one of the hardest obstacles to weight loss that I can think of. I love my family, and I love to do things together with them. But I am the only one in my immediate family that needs to lose weight. So no matter what diet I pick I have to deal with [...]
