Day 16

Today’s Weight:  392.1 Yesterday’s Water:  152 oz Didn’t go to the event, needed to catch up on some stuff.  Sent Alice alone.  So I had the kids by myself for about 9 hours or so, during which we had lunch, dropped off mail at the post office, went grocery shopping, took a nap, picked up […]

Day 14

Today’s Weight:  394.3 Yesterday’s Water:  196 oz Water was easy to do yesterday as I spent the entire day outside at a big event.  As it will be through next Sunday.  I’ve been listening to the signals my body’s giving about drinking water, and drinking whenever I felt like it, and yesterday, that easily got […]

My Biggest Problem – Eating Too Much

So honestly my biggest problem is eating.  Yes, I do need to increase my activity.  But if you’re curious, you should go look up how many calories you burn running for an hour.  It’s not honestly that many more than you burn just sitting around.  Turns out, your metabolism (to put it crudely keeping your […]

Day 12

Today’s Weight:  393.4 Yesterday’s Water:  156 oz Happy with progress.  I’m off work today and the next five work days, so I’m off for the next 10 days – this will definitely be a disruption in my routine.  But the bigger disruption is I’ll be going to a major event a few minutes from my […]

Day 11

Today’s Weight:  394.6 lb Yesterday’s Water:  196 oz Did awesome about the water yesterday.  FIgured out a way to make that work.  I start the day filling a 1L (essentially 34 oz) bottle of water, which I drink on the way into the office.  I end the day drinking two 20 oz glasses of water […]

Day 10

Today’s Weight:  396.5 Yesterday’s Water:  132 oz Just couldn’t manage the water yesterday. Honestly not much to report.  I do know that I had much quicker progress on my most successful attempt at this – but I was also counting calories very precisely, and had a job that required a lot more physical activity.  So far I’m […]

My Shirts are Tight

One of the problems I have, being a fat dude, is finding clothes that fit.  This is compounded by the fact that I have a relatively large frame, and am also 6’3″.  So even when I’m thinner, I have problems finding clothes that fit right. About two years ago, I got five new plaid shirts […]

Day 9

Today’s Weight:  396.2 lb (Meh.) Yesterday’s Water:  172 oz. Feeling ok.  The weight trend is definitely downward overall, so that’s good.  I’m feeling a bit better than I have lately (prior to the diet).  I assume the primary cause is the large amounts of water I’m consuming daily – I am not great about drinking […]
