Kinda fell off the radar again

| January 14, 2012

Seems like I lost my posting momentum.  There’s lots of stuff going on right now, not all of which I can really talk about on the web. But the good news is that, although I have not been posting my food, I have been tracking it.  I’ve been careful all during the week to make [...]

getting faster bit by bit

| January 6, 2012

I ran 3 more miles today and I noticed that my finished times are slowly getting faster.  Not by a lot, but maybe 10-15 seconds each time, even though its getting later in the week.  I’m hoping this trend continues.  I haven’t done a good job of getting out the door early.  I’ve been getting [...]

3 miles and more food

| January 3, 2012

This morning I got out for my three mile run, albeit exceptionally late.  Tomorrow I will do better.  Here’s my food for the day below.  Since I basically eat the same thing every day, I’m going to start just taking pictures of it all in one big group food shot.  No need to re-explain myself. [...]

Food from yesterday

| January 3, 2012

Yesterday I did not make it to my weight workout.  Not such a good start to the year.  I went to see The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.  Horrendously graphic, violent, and gruesome.  Not a show for anyone under the age of 35.   Women will find it particularly disturbing because of the theme and several [...]

Food log

| January 2, 2012

I’m following Amanda’s blog and have signed up for her monthly project, which is to keep a food log.  I’ve done this in the past using an Excel spreadsheet (used it to track calories and weight) but haven’t done it with pictures before. Here is what I ate today: Ok, this first one is kind [...]

Running and cake pops

| December 28, 2011

So, I’ve run now two days in a row, which is a record for me of late.  I like think that two in a row is considered a trend.  :) Just three miles and just under a 10 minute pace.  Trust me, this is a lot for me right now.  I’m watching the food intake [...]

The magical shrinking Ghirardelli chocolate chip bags

| December 18, 2011

I’ve been buying Ghirardelli chocolate chips for years.  Its what I use for making truffles and it has performed very well.  I’ve gotten the recipe down just perfect so that I know how much cream and butter to add to two bags of chips to make the right consistency. But that all changed. When I [...]

still not playing

| June 8, 2011

I haven’t been on the game since I quit, so I am very proud of myself for that. On the other hand, I have not run since last week, which is not so good. I’ve decided I am disgusted with myself for letting the fat climb on me again, so I am dumping the sugar [...]

Does sugar make you sad?

| March 4, 2011

When I eat candy and sugary stuff, its first makes me feel happy (because I’m eating candy and sugary stuff), and then I feel sad.  And then the next day, I want MORE sugar.  I did so good this week, but then I ate some candy on Thursday, and then I was sad.  And now [...]

Its above freezing!

| January 26, 2011

The first time in about 6 months its actually above freezing.  And coincidentally, I have a run on my schedule, so I went and ran and actually did not die.  My was was somewhere near 8:20.  Yea, me. I went camping last weekend and froze my butt off.  I had planned to run when I [...]
