In the next eleven days, I am:
Leading the kids’ lesson at Bible study tonight
Leading the adults’ lesson at Bible study tonight
Filling out some bank forms
Fighting with another financial institution or two over a lost receipt
Preparing and teaching adult Sunday School
Preparing and preaching Sunday’s sermon
Serving the Lord’s Supper
Making up for lost Mothers’ and Fathers’ Days with [...]
Rather than bore you all on an ongoing weekly basis with my progress on Atkins, I’ll just quietly (or not so quietly, if something surprising happens) update this permanent page on the site with my progress.
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.
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 [...]

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.
This last week wasn’t my best:

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 [...]
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.
Actually, they’re only predicting 6-8 inches at this point. Click the image for full-size.
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 [...]
Don’t miss the new poll on the sidebar. No guarantees as to whether the results will actually change anything.
Not more than a week after telling at least two people that I would never Twitter… I am.
So, for up-to-the-minute coverage of my day, check the Twitter sidebar here, or go there.
I mean, there’s just one link, followed by another, followed by another…
OK, bad joke. But obviously all actual content here is getting swallowed by occasional links and brief commentary. Why is that?
I’ll let my co-conspirators tell their own tale, if they like. In my own case, TIWIARN (This Is Where I Am [...]
