I’ve been bouncing around some.  But I finally broke the 100-pound mark.

Not that much to note.  I’m back on track and feeling good about it.  Soon I’ll be switching to Thursdays instead of Tuesdays for the weigh-in, so that will glitch the weekly numbers a little.

NB: I’ve recalibrated a bit here to use the original weight as measured by PWMC (373 lbs), since that’s where I’m getting my weekly numbers.
Six months in and a hundred pounds down — this is actually almost exactly [...]

Wow, it’s been a while since I updated this. No particular reason — I guess I just got distracted.

It’s more than a little odd, as my numbers don’t seem to be tied to what I actually do during a week.  Weeks where I hew closely to the plan [...]

The Start of Summer

Everyone has their own unique signs that summer is upon us, the signature sound that signals the academic year is winding down. For me, it’s “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” by Tears for Fears.
More below the fold.

Two Finales (2): Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

As mentioned in a previous post, recently two of my favorite shows reached their conclusion.  While the Battlestar Galactica finale left a lingering bad taste in my mouth (The Cylons had a plan all along?  Bollocks!), the conclusion of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles was gripping and satisfying.  In fact it was one of the [...]

A pretty good week for me… which is baffling, as I have not (as far as I know) done anything materially different in any of the past three weeks, but my weight loss has fluctuated wildly.  Odd.   It’s also odd that my weight loss has been an integer [...]

After a couple of see-saw weeks, I’m back at a usual weight loss number.  Most likely this reflects a return to “established” weight — the weight so easily put on over Spring Break came off relatively easily but now it’s work again.  It’s a little frustrating in that I’m [...]

Two Finales (1): Battlestar Galactica

In the past couple of weeks, two science fictions shows I follow have had their finales: the reimagined Battlestar Galactica and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. (OK, so technically, the word is still out on Sarah Connor, but many people feel it’s doomed, and although I have no inside information, the reasoning seems [...]

From a weight-loss perspective, this was a very good week: nearly ten pounds. But of course, given the spike upward last week, that just about puts me where I should be anyway. That’s somewhat frustrating and will, I suspect, be a good goad not to go [...]

This is the first week in which I’ve gained, rather than lost weight, and it’s a simple morality tale: It’s also the first week in which I went “out of the box” a significant amount. While at Lunacon, I wasn’t able to have the HMR entrees because [...]
