Old Dawgs and New Problems

I’m going to try to add a little each day and just post when I have around 500 words. Last night we had our motorcycle club meeting. The final name was settled on. We will be called “Olde Dawgs”. The group will be mostly made up of people over 40 but we will have some that are in their 30’s. Although I don’t own or even ride a motorcycle, I’m special and I was...

Unique Week 7 Weigh-In

Recently I’ve come to the realization that I will not be able to go to Texas this year as I planned. Right now with the COVID-19 still rampant it’s just too much of a risk. I’m not concerned about contracting the virus for myself, but for others around me I am. International travel at this time is almost impossible to do. Even if we manage to get out of country, will we be allowed to...

Week 6

Let’s see. What’s been going on lately besides my walking and attempt to lose weight. Not very much actually. I have not even been to Mango to play dominoes all week. I’ve been to Mango but just to pick up some tacos for my wife. We do have a meeting today at Mango for a bike club that was started. I don’t rides motorcycles but they wanted me in the club anyway. Seems I get...

Go Fund Me Page for My Niece

I have started a Go Fund Me for one of my Filipino nieces. I already put a link to this page in my last post (that I just posted earlier) but I figured it deserved it’s own page. This niece I think is worthy of donations because it’s not something she likes to do unless it means her family will suffer. She works odd jobs right now when she can and I know when her restaurant is able to open...

13 July 2020

The walk this morning seemed easier. I’m not sure why. I wasn’t even sure we would get to walk earlier that morning because it was raining so hard. It quit though and we did not experience any rain at all and a surprisingly low number of puddles. I measured the walk with a computer app and it turns out that we are walking approximately 5k each morning these days. Well, from the front of...

Week 5 Weigh-In … Oops!

Although I am still ahead of my schedule, I slipped a little bit in the losing weight department this past week. I went and gained .45 kilos (.99 lbs). Obviously my fault. I did a lot of different things this past week than I have been doing but I think I have zeroed in on the main cause of the weight gain. It was excessive bacon. I had bacon almost everyday this past week. Yesterday I really had...

Weigh-Ins 3 & 4 Plus

Oh Wow! I forgot to make a post for last week and my weigh-in. I didn’t miss it because it was bad news. It was actually good news again. I’ve got a couple of good subjects for today anyway. I’ll start with my Week 3 weigh-in. After Week 2 I was at 136.2 kilos (300.32 lbs). On 27 June (after Week 3) I weighed in at 134.05 kilos (295.58 lbs). That’s my biggest loss yet at 2.15...

24 June 2020 and Pissed

I’m still walking in the mornings and still trying hard to lose weight. I’m not being perfect but I’m not going overboard either. I’m not on any special diet I just eat less of what I normally do. Maybe I push it a little bit at times but, so far, I’m still losing weight. I also wonder if I lost weight all through the week and right up to the time I step on that scale. I...

Sometimes I wonder why I even have this blog. I don’t update near as much as I should and it’s not like there is nothing to talk about, there is. People coming and going. People are going to...
