Wow, how time flies when you are getting ready to move.. Yes, the reason for my lack of posts is that I am moving from Japan to Idaho in a little more than 2 weeks. Last week I was in Korea and this weekend I will be in Taiwan. This is the first time to read the blog and everyones posts in quite a while.. so first..

I wanna thank Anne and She-zug for the awards. Second, Suzan I will get that recipe postedfor you as soon as I can and lastly.. a little note saying that I will be offline for about 6 weeks.. No worries I am not going to go off plan other than some planned excursions.. 1 night off in Hawaii.. and one carb day in Taiwan but other than that I will try to stay on plan throughout my move and vacation.

I promise to have good pics and stories to tell in 6 weeks..

Everyone take care and be healthy!!

Wow, my first post for the New Year. The last few days of 2009 and and the start of 2010 were not the best for me diet wise. However, I am glad to say that I am back on track and I look forward to another year of living a low carb lifestyle..Holy Cow! I have been doing this a year and what have I accomplished? Well, I lost 153 lbs, I can walk 7 to 8 kilo's without keeling over and overall I would say I am a much healthier person.

I must admit that I will post my December 22nd weight for the final weigh in of 2009 and my first weigh in for 2010 will be January 31st. Why? because I am too chicken to get on the scale to see how much I gained while veering from my planned lifestyle! Call me a wimp or much worse that is okay! I will continue to work towrds becoming leaner and healthier!

I hope everyone can accomplish their goals for 2010. Now to todays menu.

Yes, the great news is that I logged my longest time on the road today since starting this new lifestyle. I feel great physically!

The bad news.. yesterday, my beloved grandmother passed away and I over indulged on nuts and I went overboard by eating a candy bar that was laying around my house. (for the kids) I have been so good for such a long time.. but I am back on track today!

I will be going back to induction for the next while and I will be cutting out dairy and nuts! I will make an exception for the day after Christmas when I will be having a dinner party at my school for friends and students. The food will all be LC except the fresh baked rolls and honey butter. (I will not eat the rolls) I will also partake in dairy on this day because I will be making LC Key lime custard cups for dessert. My menu plan is; Smoked ham, au gratin cauliflower, green beans cooked in butter with some ham, fresh baked sprouted flour bread( I will use three kinds of bran and also add sesame, buckwheat and quinoa flours and it will be sweetened with honey) green salad and the previously mentioned dessert.

I will not let the loss of a loved one get me down, I will use it as motivation to keep me going and working harder.

When I received an e-mail from my uncle's e-mail address with a title line grandma.. I knew that something was wrong, in fact I did not want to open the e-mail. I kinda froze. My children who were playing in the same room noticed and said, "Dad, what's the matter?" I said, I don't want to open this e-mail because it contains bad news. My daughter said, " Dad, just open it.. you never know it could be good news!" I opened the e-mail and it was from my brother who was at my uncle's house. My feelings were confirmed, my grandmother had passed away during the day.

I started to cry.

My children were immediately alarmed because they had never seen me really cry. Of course they had seen me shed a tear or two during a movie or other emotional events. But never outright crying. All four of my kids stopped what they were doing, two climbed up on my lap and the other two embraced me in a strong hugs saying, "It's okay, Dad!" All I can say is what a blessing children really are!

The real message here is not that someone I loved dearly passed away but a general life lesson. See for the past several months I have been putting off calling my grandmother, the biggest reason being the time difference of me living in Japan. I was going to call her on Thanksgiving but didn't have time, my plan was then to call her on Christmas..

Never put off anything that you should do today for something that you think you can do tomorrow! Because tomorrow does not exist.. see at11:59pm when tomorrow is about to come into existence it magically becomes today. Tomorrow does not really exist!!

During this holiday season, I highly recommend that you get in touch with all your friends and loved ones because you never when they are going to be taken from you.

I will not be posting for a while.. I will be writing the posts but I will not be uploading them for the near future. I hope to be back soon, but I need to spend time with my family as well as I have some life changing events coming up that I need to prepare for.

Happy Holidays Everyone!

Monthly weigh in..

2009-11-30T15:02:00.000+09:00

Well, it is that time again.. My hopes were up for an excellent weigh in.. as I took a sneak peak about 10 days ago. Drum roll, please! 389 lbs was what the scale read today. I think that it would have been higher had I been able to continue exercising everyday. My weightloss stalled during the week of catching the flu and then taking care of my children and their cases of the flu. So, today was my first trip out on the road :) For the month of December I am shooting for a minimum of at least 3.2K of walking a day. For weightloss.. well anything over 10 lbs and I will be happy :)

November 1st, Weigh in..

2009-11-01T13:02:00.001+09:00

I really hate the scale! I believe there is really nothing more scary than getting on that blasted weight estimating contraption. See, eleven days ago I had the mumps, couldn't hardly eat and ate the foods that I fed my children albeit in moderation. Yet, when I got on the scale I was back up to 412 pounds. I really wanted yell, scream and throw things! Why! I thought to myself. What to do, now? I thought to myself. I am going to fail. I am going to stall and never lose weight again. These and many other demons surfaced. But I sat down and collected my thoughts. I can't afford to give up or give in! I have to continue. What can I do to get back on the weightloss train?

I decuided to up my exercise and really control my intake of carbs. Did it work? I am through a plateau? I really hope so. The scale read 400 pounds even which is a 12.6 pound drop from about 10 days ago and around 8 pound for the month. I will continue to exercise and plan on adding weights into the regime. My goal for this month is 15 pounds. Will I make it? I don't know but I refuse to give up!

I am back :) October 19th, 2009

2009-10-19T15:19:00.001+09:00

Well, I am back from the misery of the mumps. During my hiatus I did not stay on plan nor did I go on a binge. My weight however definately changed.. for the worse! During the middle of last week I got on the scale and I weighed 412 lbs up 5 lbs from my last weigh in. Needless to say I was shocked, disappointed, dismayed and every other negative and depressive adjective in the English language. This caused me to ponder long and hard about what I was doing, where I wanted to be and who I wanted to be come.

I realized that I had come very far on the journey of becoming healthy but I also realized it was time to shake things up. No, I am not changing diet plans! I will continue to eat fresh vegetables and good cuts of meat. But I must break through this plateau! To that end I have decuided to increase exercise to a minimum of 45 minutes a day and I have decuided to make a short term goal of losing 60 lbs in 4 months. See in Febuary I will be taking my family to Hawaii and then to my home town for a 3 week vacation.

I decuided I needed a reward to encourage me in this endeavor. I asked my daughter, as we were walking what I should do as a reward for accomplishing this goal. She said, " Eat a chocolate cake!" argh I thought.."No!" I said. Then she said, "Okay, strawberry cake!" LOL Oh my goodness! I thought to my self. NO! It can't be anything edible, maybe and activity or something that I really want, that isn't a necesity! So my wonderful daughter said, "I know Dad, Sky diving!" I started to laugh, I don't know if that would be a reward or deterent..LOL So now I am trying to decuide between going deep sea fishing in Hawaii or buying an I-pod nano that I can use while exercising.

Now, for the next part..acountability.. one of the reasons I have been succuessful so far is because of this blog. So I will hold myself accountable here. On my daily menus I will log my exercise. For example, Today, I walked 8 laps with my daughter. IF I go to the gym I will log that as well. I will not however get into the nitty gritty of my exercise.. Wish me luck! PS I am going to use 412 lbs as the starting spot for this goal.. I am afraid to get on the scale!!!!

Today's Menu

Breakfast: 3 eggs and 3 slices of bacon
Snack: Protein shake with MCT oil and Coconut oil
Lunch: Steamed Curried pork and broccoli
Dinner: More Steamed Curried Pork and broccoli

Exercising
8 laps around the track with my daughter

PS
I went to make some hard boiled eggs before I went exercising. I forgot that I had put them on. Came home from walking and walked into the kitchen that looked like a war zone.. Warning! Leaving eggs in the shell, in a pot of boiling water = egg shards all over the floor, ceiling and walls!

Have a great day and see you in a week!!

Homemade Nut Butter cookies

2009-10-11T19:57:00.000+09:00

6 oz of almonds
6 oz of peanuts
2/3 cup of sweetener ( I used 1/3 splenda and 1/3 Lan Guo)
1 tsp of cinnamon
1 tsp of vanillia
1 egg

Put nuts in a food pro and let it run until you get nut butter (about 5 minutes)
*interesting note 12 oz of nuts = 1 cup of nut butter

Mix all of the remaining ingredients together. Make ping pong ball sized balls of dough. Place the balls of dough on a cookie sheet and flatten to a nice cookie size with your hand. Finally, use a fork to make the trademark peanut butter cookie indentions on the cookie. Place in the oven @350 for 12 minutes. Take out and let cool and then enjoy :)

Dinner:Salad topped with pork shabushabu
Late night snack: Some left over chicken tenders and some LC sauce

Wow, my culinary creative mojo was on full bore today!! I dredged som chicken tenders in ground sesame and coconut flour and pan fried them in some olive oil to perfect crispy juiciness! (is that a word :D) While I was preparing the chicken I took two sun dried tomatoes and put them in two cups of soft boiling water, after 15 minutes I took them out, sliced them and put them right back into the water that I softened them up in. To that I added some fresh heavy cream a little homeade chicken stock and let reduce. Then I added salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, garlic and Italian herbs and let reduce to a nice thick concistency and drizzled it over the pan fried chicken. All I can say is that this is a "Winner"!

The 6 Week Cure for the Middle Aged Middle

2009-10-10T13:13:00.000+09:00

Well, it is time for me to jump on the bandwagon and give a review of this new book.

This book is authored in two parts. The first part being the science or gobbedely gook of their new plan. Part Deux teaches about the "Cure". In the beginning, I was a little disappointed about all the science in the first half as I was giddy to get to the actual plan. However, After reading the simplicity of the plan I went back through the science to try to better understand how the "Cure" works and why.

The plan is really geared to those that have too much visceral fat. Meaning those thin and larger people alike that have fat in the wrong place around the middle. There are some excellent resources and insight and some really good quoteable material to make the reading enjoyable and informative.

What does the plan do? In the beginning, the plans aim is to clean out and defat the liver, to restore it to pristine condition. The extra benefits include weight loss but healthiest benefit is the reduction of visceral vat. Continuing with the plan will lead to a healthier showing on blood work up tests ie good cholesterol up bad cholesterol down and an overall balancing of your blood health markers.

Here are some of my favorite quotes!

"...doing the same thing over and over again and expecting the different result is the definition of insanity."

"This is not so much a weight-loss book as a body-rehabilitation plan that will trim the fat from your middle and leave your lean body stronger."

"-that hormonal signals influence fat stores more than exercise or calories."

This book was informative and packed with insight, and "real life" usable material. IF you have not read it.. pick up a copy today. For those that are looking to get back on track or those that need to lose visceral fat otherwise known as the "Middle aged middle" this book may work for you. First thing I would recomend is finding out if you have an overbundance of visceral fat. Talk with your medical professional or simply follow the self test as outlined in the book to see what is in your middle!
