Logical Weight Loss

Weigh In I am down to 224.8 ( a .6 lb loss). Not great, but its better than going up.  Brittany Runs a Marathon Review This is a fun comedy with some serious undertones. I really liked it. Ladies this has some other things that you will connect with that as a guy didn't connect as much, but I can still appreciate it.  I really love one part of the movie where her friends are not being supporti...

I started the year at 225.3 and after losing a few pounds, I'm back to 226. This is partly due to me going out of town for the weekend. I tried to do things like skip breakfast and I even exercised one day. None the less my scale went up when I got home. With this in mind, I got up today and exercised early.  MY NOT SO LUCKY GREEN SUIT I had to wear a suit to a speaking gig and I hadn't wo...

I started the year at 225.3 and after losing a few pounds, I'm back to 225. It's frustrating. I was doing good, but by skipping a few days and not really paying attention to my calories, and not exercising they came right back. The other thing that is killing me is a lack of sleep. My ears ring all the time and have for years, but for some reason, it's starting to affect my sleep. When...

Weigh-in: I'm up 1.6 lb back to 225.3 I skipped a workout (typically every other day) and said, "I'll just end up doing two workouts back to back days." In other words," I"ll do it tomorrow." So I did and I'm here to tell you my body doesn't like it. In the long run this won't work. So this episode is for me to listen in the future to remind myself that as h...

I was reading an article and it had a great plan.  Track your feed for 10 days and look at those days where your weight maintains. Then take the average of those days and subtract 500 calories.  So if you had 2100 1900 2200 1950 2300 1876 2400 1911 2145 1978 The average is 2076  Subtract 500 calories and you get 1576 calories per day. The key to this is to take the calories of the days you maintai...

Today I share a new strategy when it comes to weighing yourself. I've updated the weigh-in spreadsheet for the Logical Loser Support Group to use this strategy By adding a weekly average option it really is a red flag when you see your weekly average go down. You might also have a bad day (but have had a few good ones) and the week isn't as bad as you think.  Stress and Weight Gain See art...

I've seen commercials for the Peloton bike and I was getting sucked in. I had some friends who were talking about how their apartment building has one, and they spoke about how these live classes were really addicting. I saw where you can get one for $59/month, but in digging around I found out that Peloton wasn't the only company providing this type of experience where you basically turn...

I'm Back! at 226.8 After writing a book, I'm back and up in my weight. I could cry and beat myself up, but I just looked at the calendar and said: "October 1st the day I turn this thing around." I reset some data in my apps, starting getting up a little earlier, walking a little more, paying attention to my water intake. I've even cleaned off my exercise bike as its fall in Ohi...

Weight Check-In 224.4 When I last recorded I was 224.4 and as of today, I'm at 224.3. Am I happy that I went down a tenth of a pound? Not really. If there was a silver lining, in my weight update its that I was traveling for a week where I was stuck eating hotel food. I did take one step in planning and took some Advocare Meal Replacements with me and drank those for breakfast and skipped my l...

Today on the show I talk about Fitbit lost my account. As in a decade of information went up in smoke (thankfully most of the weight tracking is in my fitness pal. Tomorrow will be one week without so I ended up going and getting an Apple Watch Series 4 after hearing some friends say how cool they are.

Fun in the Utah Sun I have a pretty bad fear of heights, and I have sun poisoning. However with a little planning, and some help from a friend I was able to go hiking in Utah. It was a lot of fun, and the scenery was beautiful.   I had some great conversation with my guide Elikgiute from the Travel Gluten Free Podcast . I asked the question,  "If someone was making a movie of your life, what w...

A quick bonus episode to invite you to come on the show, and to let you know (for the Summer) I'm going to an "every other week" schedule as I spend about four hours putting together an episode, and it doesn't make much sense to do a weight loss show where I'm not losing weight.  So temporarily I'll be publishing every other week and taking some of those four hours and exer...

We Don't Need No Uber! I took my car in for a quick brake job and instead of taking and Uber or Calling a Friend I walked back home, and later back to get my car.

I got a review in Apple Podcasts from Bridghside92 It’s depressing how much he bounces back and forth with his weight and seems to constantly make excuses as to why he keeps gaining weight despite the podcast before he talks about making better decisions or something similar. The guy is very relatable and I enjoy listening but it seems like he doesn’t really want to lose weight. Also, it seems lik...

In listening to the book Atomic Habits the chapter I listened to explained that in one experiment they would send in a person into a group. The group had chosen to say how delicious something was when the food was purposely created to be awful. At first, if there was just one person, the person would be honest and say they didn't like it. As more people entered the group that would say how del...

Talk to Future You I was listening to a friend's podcasts called " You Wanna Do What ?!" ( www.youwannadowhat.com ) and she had a great segment I wanted to pass along (as well as add some thoughts I had). There is some food in front of you. You want to eat it. You know it's not a good choice. However, you really would love to eat it. Monica brought up a great point. Talk to your fu...

Right now as I look at my progress, I want to quit eating all food, go on a liquid diet, run a marathon, and dump a ton of weight by 6:30. We want the weight off. We want it off yesterday. Meanwhile back, in reality, a better strategy is to set up some habits to do the right things on a consistent basis.  Full show notes at www.logicalloss.com/379 Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brand...
