Note: This is week 8 of what was supposed to be a 12-week experiment in low carb dieting. The title was meant to be ironic, but it seems less so at the moment. If you are interested in the previous weeks’ mistakes and mishaps, they’re all here. I’m at a bit of an impasse at this point, [...]

I’ve mentioned in my posts over the past few weeks that I’ve been walking a whole lot more. I also do a lot of thinking as I do this. Unconscious thinking. Thinking where a complex thought just seems as if it was handed to me, and I am just here to take dictation. These thoughts [...]

I need to start totally fresh. Reframe the entire endeavor. There been a psychological hurdle that has been bothering me, and it is the constant reminder in the LoseIt! app of all the crap I’ve eaten. Once you’ve added a food, there’s no way to differentiate the ‘good foods’ (however you define this) from ‘bad [...]

NOTE: This is a continuation of a 12-week experiment of sorts to break a stall and lose 20-pounds. It hasn’t been working. This week I learned something interesting about calories, however – for me, they don’t appear to matter that much. You can find the previous week’s posts here, if you’re interested.

NOTE: For those of you who haven’t been following along, a brief introduction. After flailing pointlessly at a stubborn stall, I decided to try a period of really low carb dieting to break the stall – only I had forgotten how to do it. Concluding that I suck at low carb dieting, I decided to set forth [...]

Reflecting back at the previous week, I made some decent progress. I shed 8 lbs., which isn’t shabby, though I’m not too impressed as most of the weight was most likely water retention from a blowout the prior week. A major event was getting my ass to the gym every day last week and the [...]
