Couldn’t Stand The Weather
[After 26 Days: weight - 268.5 lbs. Pounds left to goal - 66.5.] I know North Texas needed the rain this week. Badly. Lakes were dangerously low, water shortages rampant. However, it was murder on my weight loss plan. You might remember my bout with knee surgery after an errant bastard whacked me with a [...]
Feeling The Churn
[After three weeks: weight - 269 lbs. Pounds left to goal - 67.] First, a note for those who have no desire to hear me go on and on and on about my quest to drop a third of me by the time our Mayan Calendar runs out. I will get back to my screeds [...]

Worked out three times last week; each time, 25 minutes on an elliptical trainer, then adding in weights and treadmill work on Saturday. From Sunday, January 1, I’ve lost 5.5 pounds. A good start, but nothing more than that. I [...]
