And now, for something medical!
I always think that this blog just isn’t being used anymore and then every once in a great while, when I want to make a post out of the blue, I see that Jesse DOES actually post here. Which makes...

Destination 210: Focusing on health, not weight
I’ve been dropping weight at a glacial pace for the last several weeks. It’s still coming off, but maybe at a rate of a pound a week, tops. I’m still losing fat mass, but that’s also going pretty slowly. I’ve...
Everything comes down to poo… (a Nathan update)
So far, we have removed gluten, casein (dairy), egg, soy, oat, peanut and almond from Nathan’s diet. We are also limiting apple and rice. He is getting only a very small amount of processed foods at this point (I haven’t...
Destination 210: The Inevitable Plateau
I knew the day would come, but I didn’t think it would be so soon. I’ve hit kind of a plateau around 220 in the past week and it seems like the loss from diet alone is starting to slow...

Destination 210: The Beginning
The weekend before Thanksgiving, I went to Startup Weekend again (which is completely awesome and you should go but that’s another post) and I won a few cool toys there. One of them is the scale of scales, the Withings...
I love it when a plan comes together
For a long time now, I’ve wondered why God sent Liam to me. Not in a “why me?”, feeling-sorry-for-myself kind of way, but I wonder constantly what makes me uniquely qualified to be Liam’s mother because I believe the children...
Surgery and Recovery
I know, it’s been two weeks since the surgery. I suck at waiting so long. Here’s the scoop on how it went. Liam’s surgery went very well. Both surgeons were pleased at the outcome. This surgery separated his two joined...
