Comment on progress chart by Jerome http://tcomeau.org/2010/08/14/progress-chart/#comment-957 Sun, 29 Aug 2010 00:38:55 +0000 https://tcomeau.wordpress.com/?p=131#comment-957 My old boss, Patti Beadles, came up with a program that I’ve decided to use to try and get my weight down to one I’m comfortable with. Basically, cut out anything that has HFCS, don’t eat out unless you know where the food comes from, and eat lots more fruit and veg.

I’m trying it out, but the thing I have to be careful about is eating something because I think “it’s good for me.” The moment my diet is about deprivation or punishment, it stops being something I want to do, and if I don’t want to do it, I won’t — it’s a trend throughout my life, actually — so I have to avoid that particular trigger. It’s one of the reasons why I’m trying to find a workout routine that doesn’t feel like I’m torturing myself.

Sounds to me like the space shuttle is a pigsty that America has gotten use to!

]]> Comment on What it means to be rich. by Ryan http://tcomeau.org/2007/11/26/what-it-means-to-be-rich/#comment-903 Sun, 15 Jun 2008 14:03:01 +0000 http://tcomeau.org/2007/11/26/what-it-means-to-be-rich/#comment-903 This is the American dream? I guess that I shouldn’t complain. It could be worse, but in the past five years, I’ve watched all the extra money that I used to have turn into everyday necessities. I make $65k which isn’t too shabby for a guy like me, but it seems to keep being less. Every thing is going up faster than my paycheck. My wife doesn’t work which is nice. She complains louder than me.
