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 Said, “Yes!”

I had an interesting conversation with a friend last Thursday. I was previously unaware that we share a number of similarities with regard to health matters, and she, too, has embarked on her personal journey to lose some weight.
One place where we found similarity was our daily food cycles. When I get up in [...]
You Can’t Fool Mother Nature

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 [...]
Pick Nits Only When Useful, Then Stop

I’ve read literally hundreds of books on success, goals, productivity, personal development, etc. One thing that I’ve noticed that appears consistently is the concept of measurement. If one wishes to achieve an objective, one must be able to determine whether progress is being made, or if you’re just keeping yourself busy.
Stephen Covey tells the [...]
Hitting My First “Terror Barrier”

Last week I hit a major milestone. I’m now as light as I was about 12 years ago when I watched my weight skyrocket into the solid 200’s. For some reason that time period remained with me quite vividly. I then went on in subsequent years to peak out in the 260 pound range in [...]
Forget Starvation, Start Eating!

OK, something not quite as brain-heavy: Food! Yum!
I’ve been getting off-line comments about “starving” oneself. This puzzles me a bit, so I generally ask for clarification, i.e. “What do you mean by ’starving’ yourself?”
When I personally think of starvation, I think of a guy I knew when I was in Australia. He was [...]

I heard Dr. Paul Jenkins ask the question, “What kind of people get into car accidents?” The answer is, “People who get into cars.” Let’s say that you’re a perfect driver, never violating a single traffic rule. Does that mean you’ll never be involved in an accident? Of course not. The road is full of [...]
Cut the Yo-Yo String

Yo-yo diets. Binging. Rebound. It’s a common experience that going to battle with oneself only exacerbates these undesirable events in our lives. It’s seldom that I hear people discuss where these behaviors come from, and how to effect real change.
I alluded to the secret-that’s-not-a secret in my post Fat Brain? Fat Body. Fit Brain? [...]
Great Purpose. Good Food. Joyful Motion.

Some people have asked about what I call “the mechanics”. What kind of special diet, exercise regimen, etc. constitute the “secret” of my success considering binging, splurging, or any kind of “falling off the wagon” doesn’t happen to me.
My Formula
Stick to the basics.
Great Purpose
Good Food
Joyful Motion
Great Purpose
I’ve written an introductory bit on the [...]
