Accountability from a skinny man works
Posted on 26. Feb, 2010 by Kenny.
Okay, so I almost forgot to post this. Before I left for my road trip I asked Sam Luce to hold me accountable. I’m in the middle of my biggest loser competition with my staff and being on the road where I’m eating out for almost every meal would be tough. It’s during these occasions that I tend to over-indulge. So I asked Sam Luce to hold me to my commitment. In the end, my goal was to weigh less than I did when I began.
So, Sam was a gracious accountability partner. Maybe it was a dumb thing for me to ask him to do it, but he didn’t make a big deal out of it. Every now and again, he’d give me the evil eye when I was reaching for an extra cookie after dinner.… Read the rest

Help from a skinny man
Posted on 16. Feb, 2010 by Kenny.
As I’ve shared in an earlier post, I’m three weeks in to a “Biggest Loser” competition with my staff. So far so good. Three weeks in and I’m officially 8 pounds lighter. We’ve got 9-10 weeks left to go, which is good as I still have 18 pounds to lose… minimum. I’ve been really disciplined with this competition. I’m very goal driven and have been known to get a little competitive from time to time. Regardless of the outcome, I’ll be a winner as I shed the pounds I’ve carelessly added over the years. As I wrote in a post a week ago, I’ve been using the iPhone App “Lose it!” It tracks the calories I consume as well as the calories I burn through exercise.… Read the rest

I’m losing it people!

The pounds. I’m losing the pounds.
I posted a few months ago about my issue with losing weight. Six months of working in my parents tax office and interviewing for a new job wasn’t good on my body. Actually I think that it was the holidays at my parents that primed the pump. I ate a ton of junk. Bottom line is that I gained 15-20 pounds from the time I left DFW to the time I flew out to Austin for my final interviews. When I was 15-20 pounds lighter, I had been working on losing 15-20 pounds.
So, in August I decided to give up the diet coke and start eating better. I also intended to start working out.… Read the rest

12 days without a coke
Posted on 16. Aug, 2008 by Kenny.
I gave up coke (more specifically, diet pepsi and other carbonated goodies) almost two weeks ago. I’m a little tired of living unhealthy. I’m moving toward a more healthy lifestyle and I’m doing that one step at a time. I know myself and if I don’t move gradually, I’ll fizzle out in two weeks and be back where I started.
So for now I’ve cut out the sodas and I’m watching what I’m eating.
Moving to water wasn’t nearly as hard as I thougth it would be. I will admit, I did have two rootbeer floats on Thursday night. We were hosting a goodbye party for my intern and it was an icecream float party. Other than that, I’ve been good.… Read the rest
