I haven’t talked a lot about my diet on this blog. I have purposefully not talked a lot about my diet on this blog. This blog sort of became the chronicle of my failed diets. I hate that. I hate that because I have, at one prior point in my life, lost fifty pounds. I [...]
Sometimes I envy our cat a little bit, at least where food is concerned. Kara pours food out of a bag and into a bowl for her, she eats it whenever she’s hungry, and it keeps her healthy and fit. Maybe that sounds strange since food is supposed to be such a romantic thing. In [...]
I was at the grocery store Monday. I was by myself, which is unusual. I was by myself because Michael dropped a Commodore disk drive on his toe and smashed it. Walking was, understandably, hard for him. Also, he was pretty doped up on pain killers and too many episodes of Arrested Development. I was [...]
This is a quick follow-up to an earlier post in which I laid out a hypothesis about what makes people fat. At the end of that post, I mentioned that I was going to modify my diet for a week to test out some of the basic ideas that underlie that hypothesis…specifically, that weight loss [...]
I’ve been dieting for two weeks now. I don’t really make a thing out of it; I actively try not to. If people are curious, I understand. I started off the diet and stopped eating lunch with friends at work, just to be rid of temptation. I’m feeling pretty secure now, so yesterday, I started [...]
Kara and I are plugging steadily away on the Medifast diet, a program consisting of 5 daily high-protein meals of approximately 100 Calories each plus a “lean and green” protein-vegetable combination and a few condiments and healthy fats. The weight loss is steady, and at first it’s fairly impressive. Medifast just barely qualifies a low-carbohydrate [...]
So Kara and I are back on Medifast, one of the diets we’ve tried and failed before. I don’t really want to get into it too much (yet) since I’m sick of this blog becoming a chronicle of diets we’ve blown, and I don’t like feeling like dieting is becoming a hobby. But I would [...]
So several people have posted that they’ve started eating healthy and it’s expensive. It is possible to eat healthfully and relatively cheaply, but it requires time and planning. SO if you’ve never planned a week of groceries and meals, it can be a tough proposition. Hints: Go with whats in-season. Farmer’s Markets are fantastic resources, [...]

Coffee is one of those things that makes you wonder what the hell is wrong with the Midwestern United States. The DC area is not exactly known for great coffee, but people there still like to look down their noses at Starbucks. Out there, Starbucks is an inferior mass-produced product. Here in the Midwest, Starbucks [...]

When I was unemployed, Michael and I discussed some possible rewards for me becoming employed again. One of these rewards was going out for sushi. I love sushi. I can eat vegan without a problem or craving for meat, but I crave sushi like mad. I love fish. Pretty much any fish, I love. Sardines, [...]
