The Dad Bod – Part 10

Posted on 06/16/202104/19/2025 by Mark

Hi, my name is Mark and I have been eating pasta, rice and a little bit of dairy for the past few weeks and I really need to put a stop to it now. I was doing so well before that (my stomach wasn’t hurting either during that time) and then, it all went down the drain. I have no clue how it happened; actually, I do. I just started eating and I had no self control. Nobody to blame, but myself.

Hey, at least the pasta and rice I have consumed isn’t a huge bowl full smothered in butter and parmesan cheese; it’s plain! Plain pasta isn’t even satisfying for me. Hmm, maybe I should just stop eating it again like I did for several weeks in May.

A few things I am doing really good on are: I haven’t had popcorn in over a month, I probably only slugged a cup of milk all together for all the sweets I have consumed, and I have had less than a half of a stick of butter for all the food with butter I have consumed. And, I actually don’t miss those things. I cook more with pam and olive oil.

I just need to push a button and reset again. Once I start doing it again, I know I can get in a good rhythm.

I also really need to exercise, but I am very lazy in the evenings and enjoy doing nothing. Not exactly nothing; I write and I read. So, that is good eyeball and finger exercising! Should I buy myself a new bicycle and take a short 15 minute ride in the evenings? Should I use my feet and walk for 15 minutes in the evenings?

Well, this past Monday night, I took a super short walk around the block and it was very nice and a bit steamy. I think, for now, I will walk, but later on when Niko gets better riding his bike, I will buy myself a new one. I also took another walk on Tuesday night, this was on a tad cooler as it rained a few minutes after I got back home. I am about to take another walk tonight, I am just waiting for it to be a little bit cooler.
