Often when we are right in the middle of a difficult situation, it is tempting to look at our results as a disaster.

Participating in organized events is a huge emotional charge. The buzz is addicting. If any of your favorite forms of exercise have organized events, I’d highly recommend the experience.

Signs sometimes give me whiplash… well, mental whiplash.
“Get a new body. Get a new life.”
That’s what I saw in the window of a niche gym next to a grocery store that I frequent. There’s usually a parking spot open in front of it, so I see their advertising. “That’s backwards,” I thought to [...]

For something a little different, here’s some video of last weekend. This is a bit of a celebration.
I have Japanese friends, so you’ll find subtitles.
日本人の友達に「すみません！日本語が下手です！」
2008-08-12: Update: The FaceBook version of the video is much cleaner.
Status: 70 pounds (32 kg) lighter.

Two weekends ago, an unexpected revelation struck me. I’ll be participating in a large cycling event next month, and decided to focus that Saturday on distance riding. I thought that perhaps if I pushed myself I might be able to ride 30 miles (48 km). I prepped and started pedaling. I enjoyed the morning, and [...]

I read people’s fitness and weight loss blogs, looking for people’s successes. I find those personal stories energizing. However, the most common theme that I run across on weight loss blogs is self-criticism and negativity. When I see this, I often think of some principles that I learned from Dr. Fred Luskin’s book Forgive for [...]

I had an interesting experience. It brought to mind a 19th century poem that has the words, “Do what is right, let the consequence follow.”
After I wrote Pick Nits Only When Useful, Then Stop, I realized that while I had been monitoring my change in weight, I wasn’t really tracking. In other words, other than [...]

The last two weeks have been hard for me psychologically, specifically getting past the mental barriers of long acquaintance; getting myself to the point where I could believe that I could break past old norms. Every time I approached 190 pounds, a part deep inside pushed back. My mental thermostat was turning on the furnace [...]

I’m not counting calories. My brain’s not really wired for operating like that day in and day out. I can do stuff like that for a day, or two. After three days have gone by… forget it. (Please don’t read anything into that. If you’re counting calories, my hat is off to you. That’s an [...]

With the arrival of spring, there has been a shift in our daily habits. We’re outdoors more because the sun is warm and the grass is green. We’ve set up seven new square foot gardens, refreshed the bird garden, and started coaxing the grass out of its hibernation.
In moving past my “terror barrier”, I’ve [...]
