Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

Our messy unity will be our strength.

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

I really should read my own blog.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Republicans in disarray!

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

Giving up is unforgivable.

Diet Update

Just got back from the doctor, and I have dropped 20 lbs in a couple of weeks of diet and exercise. Blood work was good, too. BP is dropping, triglycerides were spectacular, good cholestorol is up, and bad cholestorol is down.

Gave me enough motivation to continue this for another month. By April/May (the first pounds were easy- it will slow down dramatically, I expect), I should be in a range where I can stop dieting and start normal healthy living.

And I have lost two belt sizes already and feel better.

    It was brought on by me thinking I was a heart attack (turns out that my heart is surprisingly healthy, and I am going to go get scoped to see if it is an ulcer), and then deciding that all the blood work and my blood pressure (which was 140 over 78), and the rest of the results were crap.

    Decided it was time for a major change.

    I am on a supervised low calorie diet, btw, which is costing me an arm and a leg (and no, those aren’t part of the 20 lbs). I decided I wanted to lose some weight fast, but safely, then work with a nutritionist after a couple of months and get a healthy lifestyle after I had lost the weight.

    Lot of prepackaged low calorie high protein meals. Expensive, but worth it. The expense is high enough (200+ a week) that I am sticking to it for a change.

    Yay for you! John, that’s kickass, it really is! You’re smart to know that you’ll need a nutritionist after going off of the pre-packaged meals.

    I’m so proud…(sniff)

    Had my bloodpresure taken this morning — 75/40 with a pulse of 68. Ahh, the joys of long-term hospital stays where your only bragging rights pertain to a blood pressure reading. Anyway, keep up the good work, John. Both my parents have been on Atkins since the 1st of the year and have seen remarkable and very noticable results.

    I hope you’re going to stay on some kind of regimen, though, in order to keep the weight off. Does your current diet have a “maintenance” version?

    Gave me enough motivation to continue this for another month.

    Congrats! Results are a great motivator. It’s good that you are monitoring your health improvements, and not just relying on the scale to measure your success.

    By April/May (the first pounds were easy- it will slow down dramatically, I expect), I should be in a range where I can stop dieting and start normal healthy living.

    That’s good. You only want to diet for so long. Even once you go off your diet, you’ll continue to lose weight with healthful eating and exercise.

    I found that when I did something similar a number of years ago, the trick was to not get discouraged. I would lose 5 lbs. one week, then none the next, then one the next, then six. The trick is to keep on it during those weeks when you aren’t losing as much. I lost 30 in 3 months, and kept it off for a while. I’ve let it creep back up, but I’m working on it again. I refuse to go a size higher in khakis, so it’s diet or else (also exercise).

    You’re an inspiration, John.

    It was brought on by me thinking I was a heart attack (turns out that my heart is surprisingly healthy, and I am going to go get scoped to see if it is an ulcer),

    I used to get these attacks, where I’d have this shooting back in the middle of my back. I’d also frequently have heartburn. Would cause me to have to lie down for a while. Started when I was about 16 years old, went on for 20 years progressively getting worse, until one night I was up dry retching into the toilet.

    Turned out it was my gall bladder.

    I’ve been trying to maintain a healthier diet. I’m drinking more tea/water and less soda pop. Eating more salads and less french fries. So I understand where you’re coming from.

    If you’re paying the man $200/week, you’ve probably heard this already.

    But just get up and walk. Every day. To campus, to the library, to your office on the third floor (or wherever it might be). Avoid cars and the elevator. And even better yet, walk fast when you do.

    Exert more effort than you intake/imbibe.

    Damned simple. And, once you’ve got rid of the spare tire the spendy way, it’s a very cheap method for keeping the spare tire away.

    Think of your starving ancestors, who worked 16 hours a day and nibbled on gruel. They didn’t get fat, did they? So if you walk a block or two, your life isn’t nearly as unpleasant as theirs.

    Great job, JC. I recently lost 100lbs myself, so I know how gratifying this can be (and, conversely, how miserable it can be to carry that extra weight around).

    The real challenge is transitioning from a diet to a healthy lifestyle instead of relapsing into the old bad habits.

    Good work John.

    I don’t know how much I’m down. I moved a 25 minute walk away from work so I walk. I also walk the dog 3-5 times a day I pretty much walk everywhere now.
    I’ve lost over a belt-hole in a month and a half.

    I haven’t dieted though. If anything, I eat more. I only needed about 15-20lbs so I’ll let the walking do the work.
    I’m also going to Italy next week, no sense losing weight I’m just going to gain back.

    I am in awe of just how much of an asswipe you have to be just to COMPILE a list like that. Now, I know full well that you scarfed it from some leftie talking points site, but the idea is the same. To post in on someone else’s site, well that takes stones. To post it in THIS thread, well that’s just outright fucking stupidity.

    February 15, 2006 at 9:26 pm

    Cutting way back on the weight lifting has helped too

    That is some bad advice. After your early 20’s it’s extremely difficult to put on more than 3 or 4 lbs of muscle per year.. and even that amount of muscle gain would take an optimum diet, near-perfect workout program followed consistently, and lots of rest. Many people who gain excessive weight during weight training blame it on muscle weight, when it’s actually just fat from poor diet and/or lack of cardio training.

    Muscle burns more calories than fat even when resting. Remember that. Weight training should be one of the most important aspects of any diet and fitness program. Don’t let anyone tell you different.

    Darrell’s right about the weight training, btw.

    How’s this for freakish…between the few of us on this thread who have disclosed how much we’ve lost (John, Vladi, Al Maviva, Geek Esq. and myself – 65lbs., by the way), we’ve lost a total of 255 lbs! That’s nuts!

    Geek, Esq.

    February 16, 2006 at 11:04 am

    Darrell is right about the weight training.

    You absolutely NEED to do weight training to make sure you keep your muscle mass. If you simply do a calorie-burning/catabolic (reduced calorie) weight loss program, your muscle mass will decrease.

    Krista

    February 16, 2006 at 11:25 am

    Exactly, and then you”ll be slim but all soft and flabby-looking. Even if you do physical work, you should still do weight training so as to strengthen the muscles you don’t use at work, which balances your structure and helps you avoid injury.
