http://www.hollandodiet.com The Internet's Best Diet Sat, 21 Jul 2007 12:29:04 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Wikipedia has inspired so many "wiki" postings that I enjoy, and I've noticed recently that various "How to" books are appearing. Now "WikiHow" offers us "How to Get Six Pack Abs." Hmmm... apparently none of that process involves watching TV, eating fast food, and enjoying office birthday party ... http://www.hollandodiet.com/2007/07/21/abs.html So about that "not needing to worry" bit from an earlier post... we'll just forget about that for the time being. The great gut of doom returns. Currently, the first wall of defense is notch #2 in my short belt. When there's more Hollando than that notch can contain... ... http://www.hollandodiet.com/2007/05/22/the-bulge.html So I managed to reach 152 pounds, and I even flirted with 151 lbs. for a brief time. Where am I now? Yes, 153 lbs. I may have hit "the wall." At some point continued weight loss is neither healthy nor desirable. But where is that ... http://www.hollandodiet.com/2007/04/29/to-diet-or-not-to-diet.html I blame the fiber. I am now back to where I started. I am at 157 lbs. Frankly, that misleading intraday weight reading likely understates my true blubber. I mowed the front and back yards, and I think that 157 lbs. reading is the result of ... http://www.hollandodiet.com/2007/03/31/fiber-the-unexpected-traitor.html I awoke only to discover an unexpectedl surprise... I weighed 153 lbs., although most if not all of that drop was due to water loss from jogging. Between rehydration, an indulgent morning meal at the Dallas Country Club, and perfect lunch at Dakota's Steakhouse, I'm sure tomorrow morning ... http://www.hollandodiet.com/2007/03/28/four-steps-back-and-who-knows-how-many-forward.html So... time has passed. Paths have diverged. From San Francisco, to New York, to Washington, D.C., to Dallas, the Diet Bloggers find themselves flung far across the country. How have the intrepid Bloggers fared? In December of 2005, I weighed about 185 pounds. By January, I had ... http://www.hollandodiet.com/2007/03/27/return-of-the-diet.html Arrg... I rise.  The sun hurts.  The sting of the Cowboys' loss last night is fresh.  Whenever I stay up late, I still wake up earlier than I should for a full night's sleep.  To think that I stayed up late to see such a heartbreaking loss! Let's see what the ... http://www.hollandodiet.com/2007/01/07/day-7-of-07.html "It's the unsinkable taste of Cheerios... not a lot of sugar to go way down low... Cheerios!"  Such was the commercial jingle for my new favorite cereal.  I am downing a cup full of bananas, skim milk, and Cheerios even now, and I've sweetened it all with Splenda.  This year I'm ... http://www.hollandodiet.com/2007/01/03/unsinkable.html The Royal Palace Indian food buffet tempts me.  Dallas has no better Indian food restaurant, in my humble opinion.  I succumb quite naturally to its temptation. I hover at 166 lbs. as of this morning... jogging is long overdue.  My relapse into caffeine addiction led to a recent attempt to go ... http://www.hollandodiet.com/2006/12/30/109.html What have I done?  Only one week ago, I was flirting with a new low at 159 lbs.  Then came Christmas.  What better way to celebrate the Son of God and His teachings than to indulge in TV-supported sloth, turkey-fueled gluttony, and a little avarice in the form of gifts?  ... http://www.hollandodiet.com/2006/12/29/piggy-wiggy.html
