Danger: Redbox Movie Rentals

Published on December 6th, 2011 by

My wife and I love watching movies. We don’t necessarily enjoy the theater experience, so we wait for movies to go to rental before we watch them. Our rental method of choice is Redbox. Its inexpensive, its convenient and Redbox always has the most recent movies. However, there is one major downside to renting movies

Don’t Criticize My Weight Loss

Published on November 30th, 2011 by

Disclaimer: This post is a rant. You’ve been warned… I’m getting tired of reading health experts and other weight loss bloggers criticizing the method people lose weight as well as the emotion people go through while losing weight. If you spend anytime reading health/weight loss/fitness articles online you will see that there is a common

Everyday is a Struggle

Published on November 14th, 2011 by

At my heaviest, I would have a king size Milky Way and 24 ounce energy drink everyday on my way home from work (which is partially the reason I got so heavy). I didn’t even think twice about it. My body and mind were on auto-pilot as I would pull into the store and make

Worry About The Right Things

Published on October 25th, 2011 by

When I was very overweight I worried about the dumbest things. I worried about what people thought about me when they saw me trying to squeeze into a booth at a restaurant. I never took my shirt off at the pool cause I worried about people pointing and laughing at me. I worried about how

Fooling Myself

Published on October 4th, 2011 by

I have a bad habit of fooling myself. I constantly tell myself that I can eat a <insert bad food here> because I’m going to workout or I have already worked out. Not only is this counterproductive, but I am also fooling myself….lying to myself really. When I do this, I may not even go

Hope

Published on September 21st, 2011 by

Many people don’t like The Biggest Loser, saying it exploits overweight people, the workouts they perform can’t be done in the real world and that their diets are easy to follow because everything is cooked for them. While all of this may be true, I love watching The Biggest Loser. This post isn’t trying to

Published on July 11th, 2011 by

I woke up today and decided to get back on the saddle. After a month or so of trying to lose weight without my blog, LoseIt! etc, I decided to get back on the saddle. While I would consider my hiatus a success, I maintained my weight loss, I was losing any weight. Its now

Giving It A Go…On My Own

Published on May 17th, 2011 by

You may have noticed that I haven’t blogged in quite some time. This was on purpose. When I started my weight loss journey, I set a short-term goal of going from 254 pounds to 200. I achieved that goal!!! When I hit 200 pounds, I made a decision to try and live life “normally”. Let

Calorie Spiking

Published on March 28th, 2011 by

Calorie spiking isn’t a technical term. In fact, I’m not sure its a real term. But its the only term I can think of to describe what it is. I use this term to describe a day when you eat more calories than what you should. Some people call it a cheat day, but I

Meal Repetition for Weight Loss

Published on March 24th, 2011 by

I read a lot of weight loss blogs and I lurk on weight loss forums. I read as much as I can to learn from others, get new ideas and to get inspired. When reading about diet and nutrition I’ve noticed a trend in many of the forums and blogs. It seems many people get
