In The Raw

One of the best things about working online is that I get to keep up with all the news and stuff. Tech News is particularly interesting to me, so I set up a splog (blog of blogs) called Kizo Tech News to link to some of the better tech news sites out there. [...]

I suspect there are a fairly large number of you who aren’t really interested in the other things, but Eva Longoria in a bikini is a pretty hot concept, let me tell you. This Desperate Housewives star certainly has it going on, especially in the all important rear view. She certainly does [...]

Well, I just wanted to update this section… I had forgotten to put a final and closing update here so I figure I will add this and maybe one more post later…
I weighed in at 162 this morning.   Having started this whole this somewhere around 195, I would have to say that I rank up [...]

Yup… there ya go, another 3 pounds bites the dust… and I had Pizza last night.
Go figure.

I posted this elsewhere, but I figure I should put it here… power of willpower, desire, and effort coming together:

That was about 5 days ago, and since I have been hovering… 170, 171, 172 depending on the time of the day.  That means 23 pounds (or about 11%) drop in total body weight since the [...]

Well, after some of the stuff I have talked about in the last week or so, I guess I was right about plateauing out at 175.  By backing away and not attacking too hard, I have been able to balance back out and the weight has started to come off again a if by magic.
This [...]

I must say that dieting can get pretty boring after a while.  Atkins is a wonderful concept that really does seem to get results (I got a friend of mine going on it as well, he has had similar results to me, which is good).  However, part of Atkins that really does suck is that [...]

I have been working this week to open my body up to a bit more food types and some more carbs, allowing an occassional slip and whatnot to see what is going on.  My weight loss pretty much flattened out at 175 (I think I have hit a sort of plateau, something I will need [...]

Another wonderful rainy uck kind of a day… but at least I am in a good mood.
First off, the weight thing:  175 again this morning, I certainly feel that I am on a plateau right now, but that should change over the next few days as exercise becomes part of the game.  I am looking [...]

Well, here I sit at my desk, contemplating stuff.
I am posting this in more than one section today because, well, all sorts of stuff in this one post.  My mind is being it’s usual ADHD self, so I am thinking about 10 things at the same time.  I am not joking when I say that [...]

Not really, just the same old shit different day.  176 this morning, but well, my hours were screwed up by having to take my car for service really early, so I don’t think I slept a full cycle.  As a result, I take all of today with a large grain of salt.
The car is fine, [...]

Okay, I hit the magic number that is making me happy, 175.  That is the signal for me that it is time to start cranking the carbs (but not really sugars) back into my system and to start to work out more.
I also got a secondary signal last night, while playing badminton.  Near the end [...]

Considering that I had my diet day off and all, I am not disappointed at all.  Solid 176 without any fuss or muss… a nice easter present, I guess.
I am about 1 or 2 weeks away from joining a gym and getting to the more serious “fixing” part of this job… plus meaning I will [...]

Well, actually call it a meal off.
Here is the deal.  One of the things about Ketotis is that there many opinions that say that staying solidly in this mode for a long period of time is not good at all for your body.  It is one of the reasons that Atkins only has a two [...]

Well, I guess we are 45 days after Mardi Gras (only reason I know when Easter / Good Friday and whatnot are).  Plus I guess passover is in here somewhere too… I am an equal opportunity type when it comes to being ignorant about religeous holidays, thanks…
Anyway, the scale said just about 176 today (mostly [...]

Woke up this morning to see the electronic scale bouncing between 178 and 177, so that means probably half a pound since yesterday, not all bad.
I think I have reached the point of being both comfortable with the induction and low carb lifestyle that comes with it, and a little tired of having to say [...]

another pound.  Woke up to 178 this morning, probably as a result of a good workout last night playing badminton.
Last night actually was the first time that I had experienced any Atkin’s related issues.  I bent over to get something out of my sports bag, and then stood up rather quickly.  Dizzy time for a [...]

It is the weighty issue of the day for me, anyway…
Just wanted to post up a pic to show where I had gotten to. I had started out about 192 or 193 at the top, so 179 is certainly a major improvement and it shows (no, I won’t take those pictures yet!). I [...]

Well, got on the scale this morning, and it suggested that I had broken a milestone (179, which is the second “turning” I have had since the start of the year). It is a very positive feeling to see that things are finally working out after any number of years of up and down [...]

Last year around this time, I was in a friendly competition with Greenguy from link-o-rama to see who could lose 12 pounds first. I lost by 2 pounds, but I did pretty good over all and couldn’t complain. However, over the next eight or nine months, as is typical for most weight loss, [...]
