Yet Another Weight Loss Show * Qaqn.com

For the second episode in a row, I've got a guest on the show! Joining me is Dave Barnas, author of a trio of health and exercise books. He's on to talk about his career and writing, and to answer a few questions about my own efforts and conditions, including back pain and chiropractic.

It's rare that I bring a guest on this show, but my guest this time has been on twice. Vinny O'Hare is a fitness mission of his own, and he's on the show to compare notes with me. We talked about cycling, dealing with the weather, gym memberships, dietary concerns and lots more.

This episode is all about turning points. I successfully quit smoking years ago after a long period of minor successes and failures, and much like smoking, quitting eating (so to speak) is a real trial. I know that if I can apply the same principles to one, I can have success with the other, and that's where I am right now.

I was a little more than 45 minutes late doing this episode live, because I decided not to skip it altogether after all. I was going to skip because I didn't think I had anything to say this week. Turns out, I did. I had about a half hour's worth of things to say, apparently!

I'm back on the bike! After a really rough holiday season followed by a week in Sin City, I thought I was doomed. But you know… I'm not. I'm really not. I'm feeling better than I have in months, I got back on the bike earlier tonight for the first time since… November maybe? and my outlook hasn't been this good in a long time.

Title says it all. Nothing good this week. It's a very short episode and I'm investigating the possibility that I have an actual food addiction. I explain my thoughts about that during the episode, but it boils down to the fact that I can't always stop myself from eating. Sounds like an addiction to me. I'll have an update about that next week.

See? I told you I would be back on track. There’s no change this week as I clocked in at 235, but like I said on the show, I consider that somewhat of a win. If I’m not down, at least I’m not up. In this episode I talk about how holidays and weather have […]

In this episode I break down and explain why this show has been so sporadic for the past couple of months. I promised at the beginning of the series that I would share my ups and my downs with you, and I reneged on that promise recently. I am turning that around now.

After a little time off I'm back with an episode of YAWLS in which I talk about a slight backslide on the scale, tracking my intake and my excellent new bike courtesy of my super-cool new sponsor, JensonUSA.

It's a fun little episode this time, though perhaps a little less coherent than I usually try to be. I was a little loopy. Weight-wise, not a tremendous change from the week before, but a little change - and a little [positive] change is a better than none at all.

After a week without a bicycle - my main form of exercise - and some pretty poor eating choices, I was feeling pretty blah. So much so that I forgot to weigh in because I was so far out of "weight loss mode". All was not lost, however, as I explain on the show.

I'm the lightest I've been since June, 2011. I'm feeling good. Really good. In this episode, all the reasons I was able to drop 3 pounds between last week's show and today.

I weighed in at the same number as last week, which I'll call a small victory. It beats one alternative - I could have gained. I didn't have a good week, though, overall.

It was a good week, full of exercise and weight loss. There's not much more I could ask for. Or is there?

I don't know what it is, but I'm not feeling quite right. The show went well, I perked up after a few minutes, and it's great that I'm down a few pounds since the last episode, but... for some reason I'm just not feeling quite right.

I'm back after an extended time away from the microphone due to family and business travel. It looks like I'm in worse shape than before, but things are not always what they seem.

I welcomed my first guest for this series tonight, Vinny O'Hare. Vinny is a friend of mine in the affiliate marketing industry, and he's on the right track to shed some pounds and get in better shape.

As I close in on Affiliate Summit East 2011, I go over a few techniques I'll be employing to keep myself on the right track while I'm out of town.

In addition to the update on my own weight loss journey, this episode brings good news. There's a new group effort being launched in the wake of the demise of Road to Thin and it's here that you'll get your first glimpse of it.

It’s a quick episode this week as I catch you up on my progress – and there’s progress this week! Actual weight loss! Sweet! Along with the progress report is the news that the Road to Thin podcast and website have been shelved. In its wake will come a new group weight loss project, this […]
