unexpected find

Sunday, November 30th, 2008

Yesterday I was doing my grocery shopping as I usually do Saturday mornings, and when I stopped in one store I found something I haven’t seen in at least a couple years: chestnuts.

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

For almost four weeks I’ve been posting my daily eating habits and measurements on this blog, thinking that might make a difference in sticking to a raw food diet and motivating me to exercise or go to jujitsu class.  After an unexpected visit from my girlfriend and totally going off my menu, I reflected over the last four weeks and reached the conclusion that this just isn’t working.

After a serious blood sugar crash Monday during class, I’ve rebounded and managed to avoid eating any refined sugar or eating sweets at the wrong time that would cause those kind of problems again.  I’m sore after getting back to class again, which is to be expected, but I think we’ll both notice a difference in my measurements on Monday after this week.

horrible eating continues

Sunday, March 2nd, 2008

Ok, so this week was pretty much a complete disaster for eating anything resembling healthy food except for breakfast, and even then I blew it during the weekend. Without further ado, here is the disaster I call my menu for Friday and yesterday.

menu update

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

Ok, here’s my menu from the last couple days.  At this point any pretense of trying to eat decently is pretty much gone - this is the worst I’ve eaten in quite some time, and I suspect it’s going to show when I get on the scale Monday morning.  So withuot further ado, here it is, in all it’s ugliness.

I know, my blog has been nothing but weight loss and diet info and a lot of silence, but that will change with other posts I have in mind. for now, here’s an update on my menu from Saturday through yesterday, including measurements.
