What’s your biggest remaining challenge?
Hi, everyone! I have taken a much-needed break from the computer for a bit, but will be back posting tomorrow — got some good ones coming up!
Weight-wise, I’ve stayed the same, which is actually my goal for the moment. We’ve had a lot of stress, so my goal is to be human, deal with things [...]

Is it easier for men to avoid tempting food?
I don’t exactly think there’s enough data here to be conclusive, but it’s interesting.

I no longer crave Diet Coke. Or soda. Or artificial sweeteners. Or caffeine. It’s been over a week without those things and I didn’t even have a headache. I didn’t even intend to give it up — I just… didn’t have any and didn’t miss it.
No explanation for that one (well maybe one I’ll get [...]

I went for my 5k this morning. I was looking forward to it.
But then my iPod wasn’t charged.
And as I started down the road, it was cold.
I turned back after a block. But then I turned ’round again and kept going. (Neighbors probably think I’m loopy.)
