    No SUGAR! No SUGAR! No SUGAR!

    I did some pushups today. I will do more tomorrow. I need to get back on the bench and bike.

      I typically make smarter choices between 12:00 and 20:00, too.

      That's me. Exactly. Always has been, and I hate it.
      And I'm never hungry at breakfast time, although I love breakfast foods such as bacon and eggs, toast, etc.

      I fell off the wagon this weekend. Funny, when it happens, it's like "well, I screwed up, so might as well just enjoy eating everything in sight with the understanding I'll go hardcore again tomorrow."

      Today is tomorrow.

          I’ve been good about sticking to my home exercise schedule but don’t yet have much weight gain to show from it. Then again it’s not really a workout designed to bulk me up. I’m probably a month or so from being comfortable joining a gym. This is really just pre-conditioning of sorts. But we’ll see what happens.

          You were warned.

              I brought my new running shoes to Minnesota, while we house hunt. Also, there is a constant supply of beer, wine, and snacks here so I'm pretty sure I will be going in the opposite direction of this weight loss challenge.

              But hey, I brought my new running shoes. Might even put them on later this week!

                            Total loss, 3.2 lbs. This is not going well. Still struggling with exercise issues, and still eating too many carbs.

                            Crap.

                              No loss for me this week either. Good news is I’m doing a good job about staying away from added sugar, and carbs. Bad news is I’m eating too much fat (cheese and nut butters were the issue this week!). And I did not get enough exercise. I was on my way to losing a pound, (scale was going down) and then I blew it this weekend and the scale went back up...

                                My wife kindly purchased one of those fancy digital scales that tells you everything. Thinks got ugly when I hooked up my phone and saw the statistics. Apparently, I actually weigh 180 pounds and I'm fat according to the stupid phone. Well, now I'm fat and depressed, and I've flushed the phone down the toilet.

                                Completely coincidentally, I went on the first bike ride of the year yesterday. I only managed 11 miles, and I was knackered, which was humiliating. I need to get up to 35 mile rides by the end of April.

                                I was only joking

                                    I haven't gained jack. It will probably require me back in the gym proper. But I continue with the training here.

                                      I am fasting 16 hours per day. It seems to control my appetite, and I feel more full after smaller meals. Seems to be working so far and it's not difficult to stick to.

                                      Education is extremely important.

                                        @catseye3 yes. The stupid scale even went to almost a 2 pound loss briefly, and I got so excited and then two days later it’s back up to where I started.

                                          @horace I have tried that fasting thing and I can’t do it. I really need breakfast.
