My goal now is to lose 27 lbs. in two months....which means when the new baby arrives. Most of it will be intense and frequent cardio, including jogging, stepping, biking, and total gym. I'll also modify my diet so that I will be on a low-carb, low-fat, high-protein diet, with lots of low glycemic index fruits and vegetables. I'm not going to concentrate on strength just yet.I'll also allow

Mya's been sleeping well the past two nights; thank Jah! But, I'm currently doing taxes into the wee hours, and I won't get done until maybe 6 or 7. Went to the dog park yesterday morning, and walked from BART to work. Cleaned up in the morning and evening. Took out garbage and recycling. That's about it when it comes to "exercise". The boys played ball tonight, which I was sad to miss.

Took the dogs out for two long walks this week. Both times, we went to Arroyo High School, which is a couple of blocks from my house. I let Belle off leash and she played with a soccer ball.

Been eating a lot of carbs lately. 185 lbs.

I just watched Oprah where 4 of his employees went on a 3 month diet. It's pretty simple:no refined sugarsgood carbs onlybe conscious of what you eat all the timeexercise vigorously eight times a weekno alcohol (ain't gonna follow this one; I drink one beer every two-three weeks)I plan to lose 30 pounds by mid-May.

Haven't posted in a while, because I haven't done much. In the past two weeks, I've been taking my pills regularly, walking the dogs, taking them to the dog park, joggin with them at night, and cleaning up around the house. I've also been watching my carb intake. I don't think it's enough to do that, so I think I'll go on South Beach. Today, I'm gonna hike with the pups at Garin, take them

Went to a wedding this Saturday, and had a very tender, juicy, huge chicken breast. But wifey had the steak which she said was even better. I would have loved the steak. That settles the debate, beef is better than chicken. Also, started using my pedometer. I average about 3000-5000 steps a day, but during the wedding, I stepped 10,000 times. I got my freak on. Up to 190 lbs. Lose some

With Jo being in LV, I haven't cooked in a week. Which means I haven't washed dishes for a week! I've either been eating out, eating in, or eating stuff I don't have to cook. Just nuke. Don't get me wrong, I like to cook good food. But after a long, hard day, it's the last thing you wanna do. Huhuuh.....I said "hard." For dinner last night, stopped by the taqueria and got some carne

Had lunch today at Jo's Uncle and Aunt's 35th anniversary party. It was held at Cascades, a fufu place in Roseville, which is pretty much in the middle of buttfuck, Egypt. In other words, it's in the cuts. I had the crab cake, and Hugo had the burger. Lianne also had the crab cake, and Alex had the chicken pasta.
