The Rone Ranger's Daily Check-In

Enough! Paleo, Atkins, Pritikin, McDougall, ad infinitum. Everyone claims to have the best way to lose weight, but none of them seem very intuitive.
I heard a great quote once; "Don't look back. That's not the direction you're going." Rather than hashing on what hasn't worked, I'm simply going to go forward from here.
The Plan:
NO-S Diet
Rangering 3 miles per day
Shovelglove 14 minutes per day
And here we go!

It was cold and windy, but I got out there and ranged the neighborhood. 1.5 miles in the AM and 1.5 miles in the PM, Shugged while watching TV.

OK, Rone Ranger, now you get another hi-five from me for your silly signature. You are quite a character, aren't you? Bring some spice to our boards.

That's two days in a row with successes to count. I'm focused on getting a good routine in place, so it's extra important to me to get several successes in the early stages.
And now, for the weekend report:
Saturday, donuts for breakfast (I love those things), put a good dent in the honey-do list, and even took time to walk with my wife. She made a banana cream pie for dessert and I'll tell you what, it was the best dang pie I've had in a while. Why? 'Cuz it was guilt free!
Nothin' Special about Sunday. It turned into a no-s day by default.
I'm serious about the pie. It was amazing. That's significant, coming from me. I'm a pie and ice cream connoisseur. My favorite pie? The round ones. I didn't worry about how many points it was or if I just ate all my carb grams for the next week. I just ate it!
My favorite lesson of this week: Food tastes better without guilt all over it.

Thanks for the responses! I'm sure you'll gain some nuggets of wisdom - or nuggets of some sort - from following this check-in.
Here's one for you, just because:
I don't really see the fun in watching drag racing. Sure, it's funny to watch grown men run down the street in high heels and a dress, but other than that, it's boring.

Monday was definitely a successful day. We had pizza delivered for lunch, and I ate one plate of pizza and a small salad. Pizza is an easy food to over-indulge on. How easy it is to eat slice after slice until you realize you've really stuffed yourself. I was inwardly proud of the fact that I limited myself to a reasonable portion.
Why is it that when you blow in a dog's face he gets mad at you, but when you take him in a car he sticks his head out the window?

Easy day. No real challenges. My wife made an awesome French Onion, Barley, and Mushroom soup. Very good!

I am on a roll. I didn't really give it much thought, but now that you mention it...
Thanks for noticing!
