Another motivational episode, which I like. I can list the things I've done in my life. I don't count any as great accomplishments, but it has been exciting, and there have been some high points. Wha…

I like this episode. Any time I hear good, motivational encouragement, that's good. I like the idea of challenging reality and not limiting myself and persisting. Hydration. I like the idea of havin…

This episode showed the good in getting adequate sleep and the bad in not getting enough. Apart from the mental effects, I wind up getting up later in the morning and missing out on workouts. Also, i…

This was 2018 but I still love Thorlo socks. Also, I think inversion and traction would help me even though I'm not having the shoulder pain it was started in order to correct. Read the full post at…

It's time for the perennial favorite top 10 list of the oldest people ever. Living to be 100 is still very rare. According to newretirement.com, worldwide, only 6 in 100,000 will do it. So how much o…

In this episode, the dietician recommended 64oz +8oz per pound you want to lose. I recently read that Tom Brady (see episodes 120,121,122,129,174) drinks between 14 and 37 glasses of water per day, s…

Here we are 28 episodes into the Shattering-the-Yoyo series. I'm not sure how, in episode 56, I got from saying I'm going to stay the same weight for six months, to "I need to ease down". Seems kind …

Welcome to 2022! And happy new year to everyone! In episode 54 I sought medical advice for the first time for my neck problem. I still have the problem, but the arm pain has not returned since I had …

I had my biometric screening recently for 2021. This is when the company "incentivizes" me to come in and get weighed, and swabbed and stuck, and measured. Like anything, you can look at it as punish…

I think the calorie log is really important. Not that writing the stuff down in itself is valuable, but by doing that, yes, we learn how many calories are in the foods we eat. Write them down even if…

I've eaten a lot of oatmeal in my dieting in the last few years and I've learned a lot about the different types. Many instant oatmeal products contain sugar. And steel-cut oats have more calories th…

Episode 50 is a really good example of adapting to circumstances in order to stay on my health journey and maintain a healthy lifestyle. I have a tendency to want to not do something if I can't do i…

Continuing to battle metabolic slow down due to rapid weight loss. I don't want to dismiss the constant mentions of the beauty of nature that I find in these episodes when I was spending a lot of ti…

Welcome to the 5th year of Running: A FEVER! Several episodes discuss the importance of water and how much you need. Currently, I'm not being very intentional about that. Should be easier since I am…

The period when I was consulting with a dietician on a regular basis was a good learning time for me. That was really what it was about, so after a while, I really felt like the sessions were not as …

Welcome to the 18th in our series shattering the yoyo. Episode 46 was really about the external factor, motivation. And that's important to what I'm doing now, but the key word is DOING. So the philo…

It's interesting to hear this, and I remember how good it felt to fit into those clothes. I felt pretty good, and you can tell I was really enjoying life, I was commenting on the beauty all around me…
