An even slower fall!

Well it is pretty sobering to look at the chart since my last post!

It is interesting to see what on the face of it is still progress (I am, after all, a little bit lighter) graphically shown to be not much progress at all. Too much travel, too many exceptions, punctuated by too little following the plan ... I'm sure when I get around to posting again things will look far better.

A slow summer

I figure it's been long enough that I need another post about weight; and it's been slow going, for sure. However, overall I'm pretty happy that The Hacker's Diet continues to work for me, and also pleased to see its author provide a truly free web version of the required tools. I'm still using physicsdiet.com, because I like the prettier charts and can put up with the ads and the locked-in format. But I'm using The Hacker's Diet Online as a backup. I last posted on March 10th, and so here's the progress since then - most serious upswings are due to travel.

Stigma Schmigma

Back in August, I posted about weight loss via reduced calories. While I still have a long way to go, I thought that it would be useful to record my progress to date.

The most obvious thing about this is that it's very cause-and-effect. I do need to get exercise, but I haven't been: so the only variable is what I eat. Eat less, lose weight. Eat more, gain weight. Who says you can't quit eating cold turkey? Sure you can.

Two frozen dinners a day (watch out for sodium - check out Nutrition Action's article) as much fruit and veggies as you want; cereal (hot or cold) for breakfast, and maybe one or two slices of bread. This simple, possibly non-nutritious eating plan can be stuck to - and you can tell when I've stuck to it, by looking for the downward slope on the physicsdiet.com chart.
