About Fogdog's Weight Loss

Don't Focus on the Goal...

If you've followed this blog you know that I've struggled for many years with improving my health. I've finally reached a point where I've managed to maintain a small amount of success. Now it's time to take the next step, but I believe it requires a new way of thinking.

Instead of trying to get healthy, why not shift focus toward learning how to build healthy habits instead. Follow me as I try to teach myself how to Engineer healthy habits that will allow me to take my health to the next level. Let's see where this experiment goes!

Creative Writer Award


Thank you to Weezel at "What Scares You" for presenting me with this prestigious blog award. In a few moments, I will be bestowing the honor on a few of you per the rules below.


Here are the rules:

1. Thank the person who gave this to you.
2. Copy the logo and place it on your blog.
3. Link to the person who nominated you.
4. Tell up to six outrageous lies about yourself, and at least one outrageous truth.
5. Nominate seven "Creative Writers" who might have fun coming up with outrageous lies.
6. Post links to the seven blogs you nominate.
7. Leave a comment on each of the blogs letting them know you nominated them.

The Soul of Creative Writing 

Here are my outrageous lies (and 1 truth):

  1. I've discovered a hidden code in the South Beach Diet book.  When deciphered it gives you a kickin' recipe for a lentil soup
  2. I once tried out to play for the Boston Bruins.  They wanted me to play but I refused because #77 was already taken
  3. I also sent in an audition for "The Biggest Loser" They rejected me because they said I was too fat
  4. My mom is head chef at a famous 5-star restaurant
  5. I once ate an entire Thanksgiving turkey all by myself (and then had dessert)
  6. I am in the movie "Graveyard Shift".  The film was made at the factory I worked at and the camera caught me while I was stuffing my face and watching the action
  7. I've used a Thighmaster, Buns of Steel Videos, and I've "Sweated to the Oldies"
Feel free to guess which one is true.

I nominate the following blogs for this award.
  1. The Daily Diary of a Winning Loser
  2. My 365-Day Weight Loss Journey
  3. Fat Daddy Rants
  4. Eat To Live in 2010
  5. The Fat Chick's Dating Manifesto (I'm not female or single, but I like the style)
  6. Journeying to Lose 200 Pounds... The Triumph of Perseverance
  7. 100 Pounds Less
I love the style of each one of these blogs and they are filled with inspiration as well as sound diet tips.  Thanks for sharing!

  2. You deserve it! No, #7 is not true. I have actually sweated to the oldies, but I've never used buns of steel or a thighmaster.
