Oh why oh why did he have to....
1:30 p.m. and I knew it was going to be the toughest day of my 28 days on MFP. I blew through over half my daily calories before 10 a.m. because I knew I was going to be pounding away on the computer on an important project most of the day. I calculated what I had left and how much I'd need for dinner. "I can do two slices…

Great potential
When you click on a person's MFP pictures, the caption below the main picture says, "click on picture below to enlarge." Surely I'm not the first guy on here to notice the potential value of this powerful device? And before I get a moderator warning, JUST KIDDING!

Tomatoes.
Yesterday, I expanded my healthy eating horizons with a one pound container of fresh, firm, bright red San Marzano tomatoes. They were sweet, flavorful, crunchy on the outside, smooth and juicy on the inside. In short, some of the best healthy eating I have ever done for around 81 calories. Yesterday. Today? Let's just say…

My 51 year, one month water revelation
This morning, I walked 37 minutes in the 87 degree, 52 percent humidity Houston summer. My new routine is to walk, then sit at my computer and either be productive or, better yet, get on here and catch up with people and topics while my body stops producing massive quantity of "fat tears." Now, I am one of those "I hate…

+1.... I spit in your general direction, Diet Gods!
Woke up this morning to see that I am up one pound on the scale. Now, if this were one of the 2,483 other times that I've tried to lose weight, this would be my cue (ooh, that word reminds me of bar-be-cue) to say, "oh what the heck, it's not working, so I might as well just binge away" (SCOTT TO ICE CREAM CONE:…

The Vanilla Caramel Drumstick and the Red Minus 317
I knew it was going to be a tough eating day. Any work day that starts with me getting up at 3:00 a.m., and working furiously on a deadline project from 4:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. is going to be a tough eating day. The project excellently completed and delivered, I headed home for dinner. By the time I finished eating, I was 7…

Dominating the "big meal."
I think I am finally figuring this eating stuff out. I hit the first of my thirteen 20-pound loss milestones earlier this week and wanted to enjoy a nice meal without going off program. So we ordered a bunch of really fun and extravagant food (shrimp cocktail, lobster rolls, lobster mac and cheese, lobster bisque, whoopie…

Twenty down, 12 more twenties to go.
A month ago, I was a 478 pound behemoth who spent his days from sitting in his recliner to sitting in his car to sitting in his office to sitting at his kid's baseball games. I couldn't even walk two blocks from my car to my office without sweating and being out of breath. One month later, I am a 458 pound behemoth who…

Overweight + 90 degrees + 80% humidity + walking = ???
Let's just say that I am walking very gingerly and somewhat bowlegged this morning.
