Monthlies
Right after the last time I weighed in I decided I would only weigh in once a month. Daily and weekly weigh ins are kind of soul crushing if it does not move or worse moves up. Once a month should show between 5 & 10 pounds lost, assuming I had a good month. As long as I know I am eating less and doing more for the…

Negative what now?
I've had the Negative Calorie Adjustment turned on since I started here. Never done anything to my numbers. Then I switched activity trackers and it now shows in my logs. UA Calorie Adjustment. At first I though "Cool! Fresh data!". Now I think "Dafuq?". Yesterday I logged 165 minutes of exercise (6km+ walking, 22km+…

Walk it off boss, just walk it off.
Like it or not I need to make some significant life changes. Not for health reasons, but it will benefit my health, physical and mental, I am sure. Environmental benefit too, but it ain't about that. Monday February 15, 2016 I will give up both my vehicles almost entirely. Instead of hopping in my van and driving like a…

So what's the difference?
Guess it would be called a "non-scale vistory" since the scales are not especially victorious. #1) I have exertional asthma. Majority of my life if I went out to shovel the walk I would come back in wheezing and feel like I am going to die. Anything to do with cold and exercise was like a death sentence. Not so anymore. I…

Goal setting: Activity level?
I've switched goal settings many times during my MFP time, never sure if correct. Monday to Friday I spend my work day seated in front of a computer. Saturday - Sunday I work in a garage, almost always on my feet. Moving but rarely enough to raise my pulse. I consider that sedentary. But I walk to/from work daily. 40-50…

Gotta stretch it out
I need to Google some simple stretching exercises, then actually do them. Last few months I seem to have very sore hips when sitting or laying on the ground for longer than 5 minutes. Tonight was a perfect example. Sitting on my garage floor working on my motorcycle. One leg stretched out under it, one bent in front of me.…

Tired of being tired
I have almost never awoke to face the day feeling awake and refreshed. I awake feeling tired and exhausted. Like I just ran an under water marathon while power lifting a dump truck. Yeah, that kind of tired. In my teens, 20's and 30's all the same. It does not matter if I am 200 pounds or 300 pounds. It does not matter if…

Back from the dead
I'm back *kitten*. Or some *kitten* like that. Bad, stressful month. Stress = bad eating. I'd say nothing good came out of October but that would be a lie. I cleared out my garage so I can park my car and motorcycle in it and be able to work on both over the winter. This means I now have somewhere to go and something to do…

I give up
I give up trying specific/new/fantastically farcical fad diets. I give up worrying about every little detail. I give up skipping my favourite foods. I give up wanting to be different just to change the opinion of others. I give up making goals I cannot obtain. That being said... I give up giving up. - Get a grip and hold…

I hate...
I hate: • machines that don't work • failing at anything possible • repetition of failure • being referred to as "big guy" despite the accuracy • hearing how friends refer to other overweight people • surveying a room for a "safe" spot to sit • clothes that never fit • photographs of myself • diet plans • that I have…
