Running: A FEVER

I feel like I really am learning as I listen to this, even though it was the tail end of the Biggest Loser contest. At that point, I was talking the talk but not yet walking the walk. I couldn't resi…

So here is the problem. You can hear by the sound of my voice, though I am trying to speak to myself with this rational idea of losing weight slowly, gaining health, not losing weight, etc. There is …

At this point in my fitness journey, I did not have my own biometric impedance analyzer. I could get that measurement at my dietician, otherwise, I was just using BMI to estimate my body fat. Since t…

When I recorded this episode I had lost 50 pounds, more than ever, and I had a goal of losing 100 total within the year. That's probably twice as much as I should have lost. I think when I spoke with…

Being reasonable, having patience is a recurring theme in my diet and exercise work. I've been on both ends of each. Eating too much or too little, exercising too much or too little. You might say I …

One of the things you notice I'm doing is counting calories. I have not been doing this very accurately this time, and I need to have that done by the next time I do an episode.

In episode 38 I met with Tom and we talked about our goals and priorities.

At the time I had set the specific goal of running two complete laps at Lake Fayetteville in a day. I wound up meeting the g…

In episode 37 I took advantage of a rainy day to start weight training which I continued to great success. So far this year I have rejoined my gym. I didn't work out much at home, including strength …

I made a big mistake, but one that can be corrected. This is one lesson that I learned and remembered. It is a strong memory, perhaps because of the suffering I experienced. Medicine today is amazing…

I can really identify with the feelings expressed in episode 35. And it reminds me that when I can work out I should be grateful for the opportunity.

Last week I had a couple of COVID symptoms. I had some nausea and even though I had slept seven or eight hours the previous night, by mid-afternoon I was completely exhausted. Now, the list of sympto…

It's amazing looking back knowing what I now know.

I didn't include this cut, but I made a comment to the effect of "you'll never see me wear less than this." It was because I was embarrassed about m…

Well you can see I'm not only getting no more than 600 calories and STILL trying to "ramp up". The amazing thing is how calm I am and how not-hungry I am. I am forced to be more moderate in my exerc…

This is a brand new book, it was a gift from my mother, who knows I am interested in stuff like this. And I was very interested. First of all it is written well. You don't have a be a doctor or scien…

One of the realizations I had in early 2018 was the importance of habit and sleep. And I have some new insight into that. If you think you only need, for example, 5 hours per night, it may be just be…

When I recorded the third episode of 2018, I was almost starving myself. Still taking it slow with the injury and getting back into the workout, so that's good. But this time I actually give you what…

This is the second installment of "Shattering the Yo-yo". What I'm trying to do is to break the cycle of up-and-down dieting that I have been in.

My plan is to "shatter the yo-yo" that has been the course of my weight throughout my life. Up and down and back up again. 2020 was a rough year for my health, and I put on a lot of weight. So now I'…
