http://www.fatbastard.org A Man's Weight Loss And Fitness Challenge Tue, 12 Aug 2008 04:49:39 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Part of the reason I went with Fat Bastard as the title of this blog was that it is quite descriptive of my current role.  I'm clinically obese and yes, I am a bastard. No, I'm not typically a bastard to other people.  I'm a bastard toward myself.  I treat myself ... http://www.fatbastard.org/?p=58 I'm back home from my business trip and have slept enough that I should be over much of the jet lag.  I was really looking forward to my weigh in.  I've been working really hard on my cardio and have been doing well on my diet.  I hadn't officially weighed ... http://www.fatbastard.org/?p=56 Sorry for the delay in the updates, I've been quite busy with my day job and the side stuff. This past week I went to Bintulu for some site visits.  While this trip was great as far as learning more about my employer and our industry, it wasn't so great for ... http://www.fatbastard.org/?p=55 Okay, so now I've been traveling for better than a week.  And overall, it has been a great trip healthwise. I finished out my week at a company family day at Sunway Lagoon water park.  I wasn't in the mood to do much in the water, but I did have one ... http://www.fatbastard.org/?p=54 Here I am on the other side of the world, literally.  Kuala Lumpur is a beautiful place and I strongly recommend a trip here if you ever get a chance.  It is truly one of the best samplings of Asia you're going to find. I'm here for work, which means I ... http://www.fatbastard.org/?p=53 I'm not talking about the store (I'm over twice as old as anyone that should be wearing those clothes is).  I'm talking about a gap in my weigh-ins.  Even though I'm posting this on Sunday, I actually did this weigh in on July 3rd. Down yet another pound since my last ... http://www.fatbastard.org/?p=52 About a year and a half ago, I visited with a nutritionist to try to get my weight issues resolved.  I learned quite a bit that day.  But I really only applied a few things to my overall lifestyle (the rest was quickly aborted). One thing I took away from that ... http://www.fatbastard.org/?p=51 Remember the game we played as kids. Point of honesty, I had no idea what it meant. I'd never been chased by a goose. Now I know they can be little bastards. We played a game that required us to interact with others and then run. It ... http://www.fatbastard.org/?p=47 Well, I didn't lose much this week (just half a pound), but then I did enjoy myself at some of Louisiana's finer establishments.  Hole in the wall Cajun restaurants are the best (unless you're trying to lose weight). I also didn't work out as heavily as I could have.  I let ... http://www.fatbastard.org/?p=50 When you look in the mirror do you see who you are, who you were, or someone else? This is a fundamental question that you should really take seriously. Self image is an increasingly difficult concept today. We are inundated with the rhetoric of the be this ... http://www.fatbastard.org/?p=48
