Indy... Let it go

A few days ago I dropped out of my VGA Planets game. I was finally putting the hurt on the Romulans as the Klingons too.

However, this old Trek geek does have a life and too much of it was going to a game.

Living Without Sugar: The Plan

I'm tired of the little Wii Fit voice saying "That's overweight". The manatee like figure that I see I see in the mirror does not do much for my self esteem either. It is time to make a change. A stand. To draw the line in the sand.... you get the idea.

My BMI is 28 and I'd like it to be 22.8 or less.

So here is the experiment:

1.Problem: My current eating and exercise habits are dangerous to my health.

2. Hypothesis: Refined sugar is the trigger that causes me to eat too much. Less processed foods generally have much less refined sugar. If I completely stop eating sugar for three months I will loose my sweet cravings an will loose weight.

3. Experiment: Cut out all sugar for one year and see if I loose the weight I desire to loose. The control is that in the past five years I have gone from that normal BMI to mu current bmi of 28.

4. I will report on my blog regularly with interpretive results.

I plan to make this no sugar thing a permanent change but the experiment will run for three months. I do not expect this to be easy.
