Getting It All Back Together

Wow! It’s been a really great summer. I suppose I should say it was a really great summer, ’cause mine’s over now. It started early (with the trip to Hard Rock Park’s opening in May) so I suppose it’s only fair that it end early as well. Tomorrow Z boards a plane to visit my mother for two weeks, then she starts school about a week after returning.
Not only did Z and I have some amazing experiences this summer, but…
Back On The Weight Loss Track
Posted on May 16, 2008 - Filed Under Aahz, Health Care | 1 Comment
Okay, so I didn’t reach my goal weight of 200 pounds before I went on vacation to Myrtle Beach. But The good news is that I was still able to ride everything at Hard Rock Park and that’s what really matters. When I weighed myself upon my return late Saturday night I had bounced back up to 241. But considering I didn’t worry about what I was eating at all while I was gone I’m still pretty pleased with that. We…

Despite all of the “common wisdom” out there that says people gain weight when they quit smoking I decided to reisk my forward (or is that downward?) momentum on my weight loss goal by quitting smoking as well. It’s now been 10 days without a cigarette (wow! I actually had to look that up 
) and in that time I’ve lost another 6 pounds! WooHoo!
Yep, I’m finally under the 230 mark . Just barely, but I’m under. Considering I decided…
Moving Forward With My Weight Loss Goals

Thirteen days to my weight loss deadline and I’ve been cracking down rather successfully. Last week I reported that I’d bounced back up to 242 pounds, well I’m proud to report that I’ve not only regained my footing, but moved even further into territory that hasn’t been explored in a few years: 235 pounds! WooHoo! That’s a net weight loss of 15 pounds since last fall when I set my goal. I’m behind schedule, but feel I’ve learned a lot…
Weight Gain Chronicles Revisited

Do you remember the opening sequence of ABC’s Wide World Of Sports? “The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.” What they failed to mention is that sometimes even the smallest of victories can lead directly to the agony of defeat. Last Thursday I weighed in at 237 pounds. I was ecstatic to have finally dropped below the mark at which I started to be concerned about my weight.
But then Saturday morning I went off my diet, figuring it…
Results Of The (Not So) Great Diet Pill Experiment

Part of the Relacore Experiment Series - Previous in series
Just over a month ago I wrote about starting a diet pill experiment to test the efficacy of Relacore. As I wrote in the original post-
I’m NOT a fan of pills. Americans are way to dependent on their “medicines” and I’ve been adamantly opposed to taking all drugs (legal and otherwise) most of my life. It’s only been in the last few years that I’ve even been willing to…
