I'm Back!

[Mark Wilkinson]

I am back after a long break and just wanted to check in and say hey! We recently had our third child (Sept 24th) so I have been a little occupied. In my time away I have gone full vegan and lost about 15-20lbs. I feel amazing and can't wait to get back out and run!

Hey September 24 is a GREAT day for a birthday!

Congratulations!

Welcome back! So much good news from you. Congrats on the new baby and the weight loss. Tell us how you did it...the weight loss, not the baby. Ha!

Welcome back. My little one was born on 23 September 2013.

Nothing you haven't all heard before. I went vegan, and cut out the refined sugars and most of my white flour. I try to eat things as low on sugar and high in fiber as possible.

See you May 5'th in Ann Arbor!

How long did it take to lose the weight? Did you increase your water intake?

 

[Mark Wilkinson]

I only ever drink water, coffee, or tea, so my water intake was already good. It took about 3 months for everything to stabilize, where I was to the point where I wasn't losing any more weight. I pretty much eat exactly what I need to fuel my day, and will start slowly gaining if I increase my calorie intake at all, or start losing if I decrease it.

It takes more planning now, if I am going to be busy I might toss some walnuts on my morning cereal and have some toast in addition to that. It is actually kind of neat how much I can "fiddle" with it now that I have it all under control.

Are you still talking about your diet or the baby making?

Welcome back.

Sorry to hear you went vegan.

I'll have an axis burger for you tonight!

Congrats on the new rug-rat.

I'm vegan between meals.

Wow. It feels like I never left.
