I've been plagiarized!

I was looking for other HMR blogs to follow or link too.  There are surprisingly few blogs chronicling the dieting endeavors of people on the HMR diet.  In my search I came across an older blog, HMR Girl.  It's old, the last post being Nov 20009, but I found an entry that looked familiar: http://www.blogtolose.com/profiles/blogs/hrm-recipe-cereal-muffins

Yup, that's my muffin recipe.  Nothing paraphrased, lifted with a few paragraphs and sentences removed, with no attributions.  On the one hand I'm not very pleased, someone posting my work as their own.  On the other, I think it is really cool.  I hope the recipe helped her and whoever else read her blog.  I would have just appreciated a track back link or something.  Well I'm not going to be too hard on her, it seems like she quit blogging after a week.  I hope she didn't quit the diet.

EDIT: While we're on the subject of recipes, here are a couple sites with some great ideas:

Double EDIT:  HMR Girl commented on my recipe.   If you are still following HMR Girl, I hope your diet worked out for you.

so far so good

5 days in... headaches still, though they are subsiding.  Made my first midweek call.  Went fine.  Doing it again, I find the attitudes of the nurses and educators more subdued.  Maybe it is because they feel like they failed, though I suspect it is because they think I'll fail again... I'll show them :P

And so it begins...

For me anyway.  We're not supposed to start the diet until tomorrow, but since I didn't have any breakfast, and since I was told it starts today, My diet is starting today.  I weighed in at a respectable 299.4.  I can proudly say that, even at my heaviest, I never broke 300 pounds :P

Never Surrender, Never Say Die

And so it goes,

Been a long while since I posted on here. It partially accounts for the limited success I have had over the past several months. I finally hit a low point and have decided to quit going to the doctors and health educators and classes. There's only so much a man can take of the incessant whining and bitching. I've heard it all before and I'm tired of hearing it. I'm striking out on my own and this is the only form of accountability I'll have. This blog will be my record keeper. Starting today, I'm losing weight.
