Fitness blog #5

Weight: 173.5
Steadly falling.

I just got back from seeing my brother graduate (more on that later) and I am glad I managed to keep the weight down. I have been quite busy and haven’t gotten the chance to exercise (or post) much recently, so I am glad I am still loosing weight.

This weekend I managed to keep to my diet, and ate very well. Particularly the fresh sockeye salmon I had the last night. I also drank a lot (a whole lot), which is supposed to be detrimental to my diet, but it seemed to have little effect. I like to sarcastically argue that alcohol can’t be that bad for your weight since you end up throwing up your dinner and you can’t eat anything the next morning. Of course I only drank hard liquor mixed with water or nothing; no beer despite its popularity and ubiquity.

My boss showed me this article (in print) about how people on Atkins tend to gain their weight back quickly. But then it goes on to say how people on any diet tend to gain their weight back, so who knows. I hope I don’t rebound. I have never dieted before, so I have know idea how this one will end. I doubt I will rebound too far though since I have eaten better then ever on this diet. I never want to go back to cookies, chips and doughnuts. For example I just steamed some muscles the other night which were excellent and cheap. MMMMMM.

In other news, the diet entries seem to be the most popular part of this blog (the rest of it being read by me and maybe one other person). I am ranked 9th on a google search for “fitness blog” and comes up 2nd on a search for my name.

Jim has a long entry where he, among other things, responds to an e-mail arguning for exercise machines. I suppose I am luckly to belong to an affordable gym without any membership hassles. I want to add that working out on machines is nice because you can carefully pace yourself and listen to music while you are exercising. It is also where most of the truly attractive women are.

Sorry no nerdy diet stuff this week that I promised; no time. Next week or later this week maybe.
