I’ve started seeing an Acupuncturist. She’s prescribed Rehmannia root. I boil the root in 3 cups water, strain and drink the tea throughout the day. Today was my first day taking it. The tea isn’t bad, it’s dark colored with a woodsy, slightly sweet, almost mushroomy flavor. Seems like it would go well in a [...]

Found an interesting Q&A with Dan Duchaine – gives credence to the idea that not only is what you eat throughout the day important but so is when you eat it.

Stats Update: 
Weight 162.8
Waist 32.0
I’ve lost an inch and a half off my waist which is great. I’m getting all kinds of compliments so I guess that something is working. I’ve been on a steady downswing with my weight for a couple of weeks and have almost gotten fully back on track after a disappointing 8 pound [...]

Today was a good start to my challenge — even though I started the challenge over a week ago, I am really just starting to focus on better eating today. The unexpected death of a work friend threw me into a tailspin and I found comfort in my old standbies — sweets, treats and over-the-top self-indulgence. [...]

Just came in from a couple days out of town. I took my Saturday pic late this evening. While out of town, I stayed at a hotel that had a great gym — filled with a brand new Precor equipment. There were “cardio-theater” machines with personal viewing tvs attached and a rack of Precor dumbbells [...]

I had a good start today even though I slept in a little later than expected. I did 25.5 minutes on the treadmill at a moderate pace. Had my morning protein shake and a few supplements. Took Day 3 pictures. I am completely hating the whole picture thing but I am hoping that I will [...]

Pictures don’t lie and mine are telling me I have a long way to go. I drank lots of water yesterday, was very controlled in my eating (no binging) and now I’m looking toward another 90 days of the challenge. Seems kind of gray and mechanical to think about 90 days of this but I [...]
