My son and I had a late night tennis and boxing session on the new Wii (the family Christmas gift). I think our favorite game is the boxing.

Go to YouTube and put "Wii boxing" in the search box if you want to see what it looks like: Basically, a couple of doofuses flailing their arms at a spastic rate while jumping around and leaning from side to side. :-) :-)

It was quite aerobic and now I am a bit hungry, but I'm just going to drink some water and go to bed.

Best regards,

Just like I predicted. I am now at 155.0. I'm continuing to lose weight even through the holidays.

Yesterday, I even made pepper steak (tender thin steak marinated in red wine, covered in hand ground black peppers and pan seared), a large baked potato and a serving of shallots (boiled in wine) for the family and had a good sized portion of everything. I felt stuffed, but it was delicious and well within my calorie targets.

I hope you are all having a terrific weekend and a great time during the holidays!

Today is the start of another slide downward in my weight. I weighed in at 155.8 this morning!

Perfect. I'll be firmly in the 155's by the weekend or early next week.

Happy Winter Solstice, everyone!

The number 156.0 made its debut four days ago, on 12/16/2006, on my bathroom scale.

Today, I am back again at the same weight, after fluctuating all over the place.

I have momentum on my side now. I'm determined to see 155 by the end of the week!

Every day, in every way, I am getting fitter and leaner. :-) :-)

My teenage son has decided to join me in my 14 minute shovelglove workouts. I got him a six-pound sledgehammer to use, so as I swing my ten-pounder, he uses his smaller sledgehammer.

Today was his second day. His arms are sore, but he's sticking with it. :-)

If you have a few minutes, you can hear about the shovelglove workout. Here is another audio about the importance of the 14 minutes.

156.0, 156.6, 156.4... I'm tired of seeing that same number on the scale.

I'm probably going to have to kick up the aerobic exercise for the next few days.

Let's see what happens.

It's almost Christmas and I still need to find a couple of gifts.

Hi everyone.

I started my second week of sledgehammer fun this morning. What made it even more fun was that my fourteen year old son (who is on christmas break right now) had been curious about what I was doing, so I got him a six-pound sledgehammer and he joined me in my 14 minutes. He's planning on continuing with me. Pretty amusing.

My weight is holding at around 156.6. I consider that a small personal victory, considering that I have attended three different Christmas parties and have eaten at two different restaurants over the last week.

I'm drinking more water today and plan to do a 60 minute session on the Elliptical Trainer this afternoon.

I hope you all have a great week!

I'm doing a John the Baptist meets Santa Claus skit at Church before all the Masses today. It's fun, I play John and my daughter plays Santa's helper elf. We have done two already, two more to go.

I was briefly at 156.0 pounds yesterday, but this morning I'm up to 157.5 (all water weight). I have to drink more water in general over the weekends.

After another couple of days of letting my weight stabilize, I am at a new low: 156.4

I am so excited! So close to 155.

Happy Friday to all my friends.
