Working My Butt Off, Quite Literally
I don’t think this is what is meant by working your butt off, but I must have done a few too many sit ups yesterday, and have rubbed off the skin around my tail bone. I felt the rub when I was going (and going and going), but I didn’t realize that I’d actually broken [...]

Oh look, it’s my blog.
Did you miss me or did you not even notice I was gone? For some reason, I just never feel like I have the proper time–and perhaps energy–to put into this blog. Naturally, I want to be witty and entertaining, but when I have the time to write, [...]
And Now For Something Completely Different
Ready?
So am I… I’m finding this calorie counting to be onerous drudgery. It’s time for me to start memorizing some numbers so I can just plug in calories or something. I don’t even want to cook because it’s such a pain in the arse to plug in the whole recipe and then determine how much [...]
Summertime, and the living ain’t easy.
Who was it that wrote about the lazy days of summer? They obviously weren’t doing the same thing I’m doing. I can’t even remember what it felt like as a kid having the summers off to sleep in and do nothing all day.

I don’t know what sort of planetary misalignment I stepped in last week, but was able to scrape it off my shoe and regain control. It probably helped that the scale started moving in the right direction too. Isn’t it ironic that my reaction to no scale movement, or upward scale movement would be to [...]

It’s the first time since I started this journey in January that I have the I don’t give a sh*t attitude that allows me to keep putting food in my mouth when I know I 1) have had my share or 2) am not hungry or 3) am out of calories for the day.
This happens, [...]
How the hell do they get away with that?
Okay. I’m reading Michael Pollan’s In Defense of Food
and although none of this is news to me, I still get outraged at what the industrial food system has gotten away with. If anyone has not read this book, or Michael Pollan’s book The Omnivores Dilemma or Nina Planck’s book Real Food: What [...]
