Diet update

[bobquasit]

I haven't been talking about the diet much lately, because Teri and I have fallen off the wagon, seriously and often, lately

Congrats! Great work!

Well, according to all the height/weight charts I can find, I SHOULD weigh between 161 and 184 pounds at the most, so 199 seems reasonable. At the same time, I have to admit that I'll be very happy to reach 220

I'll ask my doctor what she thinks my weight should be; I trust her judgement.

As for cross-ramp machines, I'm a BIG fan of them. They're much better than treadmills, because they have virtually no impact on your joints. And altering resistance and "tilt" allows you to burn up a lot more calories in less time. Plus some models also have handles to work out your arms at the same time - although I don't care for those.

I can sympathize about the cost of gyms, of course. If I wasn't getting the gym membership as a gift from my parents, there's absolutely no way I could afford it.

Have you ever had Rhode Island-style "New York system" weiners (which are, of course, unknown in New York)? I don't know if you ever read the entry I did on them a while ago, but they're really very different. Hmm, I just found a Zippy cartoon about them here:

We've got good ones here in Woonsocket. "Good" being a relative term in this case, of course. :D

That's great progress over a couple months. Personally, I think it's a pretty reasonable goal you've set, and it's OK to break with the diet a bit once in a while because it helps to control cravings
