Seinfeld was famous for being “The show about nothing” and it’s time for this weight loss blog to take the same approach. Now I know what you are thinking, and it’s “But John, you haven’t been posting at all - this already is a weight loss blog about nothing!” and frankly you wouldn’t be far from the truth, but that isn’t what I mean.
Part of what has been holding me back from posting on here is that I don’t feel like I have anything to say. As in success, as in making good decisions, etc. But then the weeks go by and I lose touch with the audience that has certainly helped me in the last year. As I thought back to my first year of blogging on this blog I remembered that a lot of my posts were truly just describing the decisions I made during the day as it pertained to food and exercise. Let’s face it, we all make a lot of choices throughout the day and examining how we make those choices can help us (and you) with where we want to go.
So while it may seem when thinking about it to be all about nothing, I think once I put pen to paper (as it were) that what will come out will be thoughts that might actually help.
Take today for example. I’ve been trying to follow my health scorecard and I’ve had limited success. For one thing I will say my dentist will be happy with me! So I made sure I flossed, brushed my teeth and used mouthwash. I took my vitamins. I had a good breakfast, morning snack, lunch and afternoon snack. So far so good.
Then my wife called and said she wanted to go to Olive Garden for dinner. No problem, I thought, I can still eat OK there. I ordered an iced tea and their grilled salmon with vegetables. Only had one bread stick and a little salad. Still a bit too much but not bad. But then my son didn’t like his half-order of Chicken Alfredo and the next thing you know the somewhat healthy (and half-eaten) fish and vegetables were in front of him and the Chicken Alfredo was staring back at me! And of course I wolfed it down, not having prepared for such a turn of events.
Drat!
Now as I finish the night I am not eating after 8:00pm and I will (there just did it to make sure) take care of my oral hygiene tonight, so other than dinner I think I did pretty good. Well, except I didn’t break a sweat today. So far from perfect. But I think I did all right.
So that is what a weight loss blog about nothing consists of. That, and I’ll try to highlight some of the new and old fellow fat bloggers I read these days, interesting products, etc.
Oh, and next week my wife and I are going to Playa del Carmen for 5 days at an all-inclusive resort. Now that is going to be a challenge!
