Last week in weight loss wasn’t so great after getting below 200 and all the fanfare. But this week is looking up. All the weekly stats after the jump.
I’ve had three computer displays fail me (on three separate computers, in two locations) in the last three weeks. My main display at home died yesterday; my laptop screen quit working last week, and my backup monitor died a few weeks ago. This is frustrating. I may be reduced to Twittering my [...]
So, I’m throwing this out to the Lazyweb. Please speak up if you have something to share; I need feedback on this.
As you all know by now, I’m on a low-carb diet. And one of the greatest things about low-carb is that you can eat eggs. In fact, you are encouraged to [...]
Having hit 199.5 pounds on the scale this morning for the first time in over five years, it is now time to reveal my secret. What is Diet #2 on the sidebar, and what is the exercise program?
First a little history. I have tried a few diets. My biggest problem is sustainability. [...]
I preached the Resurrection Day sermon at GCBC. Notable comments were “hey, this fits on just one audio CD” and “I can’t believe you preached the whole chapter.”
As you can see from the sidebar Twitter, I’m about to go below 200 pounds, for the first time in at least five years. This isn’t [...]
Here is a look at one of my attempts to prepare a sermon for this weekend. This has been discarded, by the way.

Someday, if I can find some software that will generate a relationship diagram like [...]

Started new exercise program
As you can see, however, I’ve started a new exercise routine, and I’m hoping to see results in the next couple of weeks.
It’s been over two years now since I posted The Granola Gospel.
Nothing has changed. The people who refused to “eat real food,” still refuse. And they are dying. In one case, physically, as well as spiritually.
Wake up, sleepers, and rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.
Congratulations to Joshua and Tiffany White.
I do enjoy this webcomic. The writer really captures a lot of the essence of all these characters (including the ten we know as the Doctor). And at the moment it really makes me miss Six. He was better than I gave him credit for.

Still, it wasn’t my worst, either. But in weeks when I have lost weight, it was the worst of those. I can’t wait for this weather to stabilize.
More of the same, yes, but it’s a little better than usual:

Which brings my average loss to over two pounds per week now.
Someday I’ll get back to spiritual blogging, but at the moment I’m just thanking God that the numbers continue to drop.
As you can see, I stopped doing weekly updates after Week Four or so. It had pretty much just become more of the same. Overall, I have lost weight every week, and according to the scale, as of this morning, I have lost exactly twenty-five pounds since the beginning of the year.
Only once [...]
Last night at Patrick’s birthday dinner:
X described to us the feeling of sleeping in a rice paddy during his military service, and being told that there was a very large spider hanging over his head.
Y [arachnophobe]: “Wow. I’d have to change my sheets.”
Z [X's wife]: “Sheets? You’d have sheets while sleeping in a [...]
My friend Dave is a father.
I got my middle initial from this man, who died on my birthday. I hope to make it down there for a viewing, but this flu thing going around has returned to my family so I guess we’ll see.
End of the fourth week of the diet(s), first week on the new diet. Lost about four pounds, was rarely hungry. Exercised more. Kind of weak now, but that’s because of a virus, I think, not because of diet. Not much else to report at the moment.
At the end of the third week, I lost two more pounds. Wow, it’s getting slow. And harder to do this. I have introduced exercise (running, walking) into the daily routine, and it doesn’t seem to be having much of an effect (which actually makes sense, given what I’ve been reading lately, [...]
Week two is now finished. I probably would have done better, but I definitely blew the ratio this weekend, with two roast-beef sandwiches (albeit on whole-wheat buns), lasagna, and pizza. It’s Tuesday and I’m still coming down from the carbs. With all that said, however, I think that only on Sunday did [...]
Week one of the diet is over. I lost nine pounds, but other than that so far this hasn’t been the most exciting time. I’m weak, for one thing. I seem to be showing signs of anemia again, sometimes. I am finding that I need more sleep; was I just masking [...]
I am going to do something I haven’t done before. I need to lose weight, for a variety of reasons which are of no interest to you, I am sure, but I do intend to inflict progress reports on you from time to time. On the sidebar is the current status. Slightly [...]
What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Midland
“You have a Midland accent” is just another way of saying “you don’t have an accent.” You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one [...]
Went out my back door on Monday, to climb into the car and go to work.
Didn’t realize there was even ice on the ground, much less ice on the steps.
Took my first step on the concrete back steps. Total wipeout: both feet went out from under me. Flailed like a madman to [...]
Most memorable song from West Side Story, in my opinion.
