Life after SFL Update No. 1 »
by Glen A. Saturday, May 16 was basically the last day of the Smart for Life diet for me. While I’ve had a chocolate chip cookie here and there since, I am back to normal foods, while watching the calories. I’ve been sticking to the every two hour feeding schedule, too, with slight deviations depending [...]
Smart for Life Week 21 »
by Glen A. With this being the last full week on the Smart for Life diet that I intend to do, I paid a little more attention to eating mostly what was allowed for dinners, while eating cookies for the other meals. One variation I did make was to eat the dinner meal for lunch, [...]
Star Trek »
by Glen A. There’s been a lot of movie franchise reboots taking place over the last few years. The most successful of them, thus far, would have to be Batman. Superman, the Hulk, Indiana Jones, even James Bond, have been rebooted, in an attempt to resuscitate or in some cases, resurrect, lagging or near terminal [...]
Smart for Life Week 20 »
by Glen A. After two weeks of solid weight loss, which got me under 200 lbs. for the first time in over 20 years, week 20 ended with a dismal drop of roughly 6 ozs. Too much celebration was the cause. Having broken through the 200-pound floor, I wouldn’t say I binged per se, but [...]
X-Men Origins: Wolverine »
by Glen A. It frustrates me to have to write this. It really does. I am an X-Men fan from way back. I’ve not written about the X-Men trilogy here, since this site didn’t start until after X3 came out, but knowing where I come from on this will help to show you my bias [...]
Smart for Life–Week 19 »
by Glen A. I don’t know an exact date, but I was roughly 21 the last time I weighed under 200 lbs. For me, that’s half a lifetime ago. As of Saturday morning, May 2, that floor was cracked as I weighed in at 199.6. The total weight loss for the week ended up at [...]
HD movies for purchase on iTunes (via Apple TV) Update #2 »
by Glen A. In previous posts, I’ve outlined my journey thus far in downloading a HD movie (Transporter 3) from iTunes to play through my Apple TV. In the last update I mentioned receiving an email from Apple saying there’d been a mix-up with the sound–stereo rather than 5.1 surround sound. So, I followed the [...]
El Pollo Loco »
by Glen A. Having lived in Southern California for several years, and still having family down there, we’ve become acquainted with chain restaurants and fast food places that we can’t get where we live. While there are still plenty we don’t have (ever heard of In & Out?), some of them have begun to appear [...]
