With all my harumphing below about the bike tour’s shortcomings, I forgot to make mention that at this morning’s weigh-in I’ve registered another three pound drop, bringing me to 232 (just two pounds from my first-stage goal; 3.5 months ahead of shedule) and a total of 28 pounds lost in 10 weeks.
Since last month’s inaugural blender experimentation with what I’ve come to call my “Everything But The Kitchen Sink” smoothie (Jamba Juice I am not), I’ve attempted to refine the contents of my concoctions to come up with fruits that complement each other. It may seem like a no-brainer that grapefruit and banana or apple and …
It was a couple weeks ago when I expressed my abject ecstacy at trying on what I refered to as “The Pants” — the pair that I’d chosen to not to donate and thus keep around as a reminder of what I used to fit into during my last bout with thinner-ness — and they …

I’ll spare you any photographic evidence because I’m a loooooooong way from pointing a camera anywhere near my midsection. But today I did it. I tried them on. I call them “The Khakis.” Anyone who’s done the diet thing or experienced a weight gain of any significance can count on that seminal day when they …
Today marks the conclusion of the seventh week of my diet. And though I skipped last week’s weigh-in (on purpose), I didn’t stop eating healthy or increasing my exercise output. I had five straight sub-2,000 calorie days this past week and walked three miles a day for those five days — with a strenuous 17-mile …
