Thursday was my 44th birthday and it ended up being a three-day, poor-eating marathon. That was after starting this 90-days struggling nutritionally. My blood pressure has also gone up. I haven't isolated the problem yet, but my suspicion is that it's because I started DHEA supplements again. I just can't say that with any certainty … Continue reading Happy Birthday to Me

Look Before You Eat – Pei Wei
I heard a while back that Pei Wei was now serving cauliflower rice and I’ve been interested in trying it. They also have a cauliflower fried rice, which sounded great! I’ve made cauliflower fried rice before, so it sounded like a best of both world type restaurant item. I figured it would be high and … Continue reading Look Before You Eat – Pei Wei
What Leading By Example Is Not…
I realized during the last week of my previous challenge that whole Month 3 seemed better than Month 2, I was actually less consistent in my eating behavior.

Six Months and Going Strong
When I signed up for my two long-term Diet Bets six months ago, I knew the losing weight part would be the easier task, but that keeping it off would be a challenge.

Just Keep Moving…
I am 24-25 days into three of my diet bets (my DietBet four-week bet ends next week) and 25-28 days into my first step bets. I am on target to win all of my wagers, but this has been an interesting ride so far! I have been using my work scale for weigh-ins, so I … Continue reading Just Keep Moving…
In It to Win It
I'll admit, I am a pretty competitive person. I also don't like to lose money. I learned about Diet Bet years ago when a friend of mine did it, but I never tried it. Because of these two attributes I possess, I find it ironic that I have never taken the plunge before now. Maybe … Continue reading In It to Win It
