Life’s Transitions
Everybody makes a big deal about turning forty, as if somehow that number was the embodiment of bad karma or something. I don’t know. Forty is just a number. I’m turning forty this year, and I don’t feel any different. Quite frankly, I am looking forward to a new decade. I spent the last one [...]
Still Maintaining…
I don’t weigh in officially until Tuesday evening; unofficially, I weigh in on Sunday mornings. My home scale is not utterly reliable, so I weigh in officially once a month when I visit my chiropractor. But I weigh in once a week on my home scale so I can keep track. By looking at the [...]
Phasing Back Into Food
Well, I made my decision this morning. I’m going to phase out of the cleanse/fast starting this afternoon. I’m kind of disappointed, but it’s becoming stressful to stay on the fast, and that will negate much of the good that I have achieved.

That’s a tremendous improvement. I’ve also lost almost two clothing sizes: my 18s are now way to big, [...]
15 Pounds Lost in Two Weeks!
Yep, you read that right. I weighed in this morning and I’m down 15 pounds from where I was when I started my new regimen … 9 pounds lost in the 10 days I’ve been on this lemonade diet. Now, I can hear the skeptics saying “Yeah, it’s all water and will come back when [...]
