A late update, but an update nonetheless. In this episode I talk about taking time to focus on one specific thing - in this case for me, it was actively listening to music. I think it's helpful and not just for losing weight. I used the song B

An Update That's Not an Update

Oct 4th, 2022 3m 22s

There's not much to report here. I didn't weigh myself for this week's episode, but that was only because I was wearing some really comfortable clothes in the morning and didn't want to change out of them. I took a logging pause on the weekend,

Quick Update - August 16 2022

Aug 16th, 2022 5m 26s

Just a quick update to let you know where I am with everything. I am more than likely taking a pause for a little while - not from my efforts but from updates, both in audio & blog form. But I am still writing, and trying to post things that I

Post COVID

Jul 26th, 2022 3m 57s

I tested positive for COVID two weeks ago and that really messed with my routines. I'm trying to get back into a normal routine so here is the first attempt at doing so.

Back with a very short update - I've changed up my goals for the rest of this year. I don't have far to go to reach this new one - I'm trying to hit my new number (245) by July 31st.Intro music: "No Rest Or Endless Rest" by Lisofv, downloaded

Physio Looks Promising

Jun 14th, 2022 5m 30s

A fairly good and productive week for me! Plus, physio seems to be going well. Hoping that I "graduate" this week and don't need it any longer. Intro music: "No Rest Or Endless Rest" by Lisofv, downloaded from Jamendo.com (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0). h

Back at Physio

Jun 7th, 2022 4m 25s

This episode was recorded immediately after a physiotherapy session. I thought that I could let my shoulder get better (after I lost my fight with the ground in softball 4 weeks ago), but it's not meant to be I guess. A good week overall though

Everything Everywhere All At Once

May 31st, 2022 8m 8s

No, not a review of the movie with the same title. Just an audio update that I felt I needed to get out there. I already wrote a lengthy post on Friday that outlines much of what I mention here, but it's been a few weeks since I've turned on th

New Goals

Apr 26th, 2022 7m 23s

I was right last week - the increased weight showing on the scale was a lot of water weight. My rolling averaged dropped by 0.6 pounds and I saw a lot of numbers roll down on the scale over the last week. I talk about that, plus encourage the w

Return to Work

Apr 19th, 2022 5m 24s

The vacation is over, and it's time to return to work and the busy city. The vacation was relaxing and definitely needed but it can't last forever. A pretty big scale & trend weight increase but I think it's mostly water weight. Will need to mo

1 Year Seizure Free

Apr 5th, 2022 5m 36s

I finally reached an important milestone with my epilepsy: I am 1 year seizure free! I went up in weight slightly but the thing I'm focusing on is finally reaching my goal which was to get to 365 days without a seizure. Now time to keep that go

False Spring

Mar 29th, 2022

Maybe last week I jinxed Spring? It snowed again Sunday & Monday. But that didn't affect my weight loss progress - more downward trends, and I'm still making time to get outdoors. Despite having to bundle up. Again.Find out more at https://21-

Officially Spring

Mar 22nd, 2022 5m 28s

It's officially Spring! And I'm still seeing some positive results, although I don't fully understand why. When I have time I will be doing a deeper dive into the reasons. But for now, I will enjoy the success.

Continued Progress

Mar 15th, 2022 4m 1s

The progress continues! Despite some adjustments I still need to make to my weight loss plan, I am seeing some negative movement on the scale, and my numbers are trending downward for the first time this year. Plus I give a short update on wher

Mechanical Pencils

Mar 8th, 2022 6m 10s

An "early" update! I was previously doing 2 week intervals but I decided since the episodes are so short, that weekly wasn't too taxing to keep up with. I talk about some changes to my weight loss routine, and go over my usual "Something Good/B

March 2nd Walk

Went for a walk to grab a decaf coffee to clear my head a little with some fresh air. Well, it worked! This quick update is a testament to changing things up just a little bit.

Work-cation

Mar 1st, 2022 5m 11s

Still a significant lack of progress (in fact, going the opposite intended direction) but I haven't let anything affect me so far. I feel good and am going to try a few things to shake up my weight loss for the better, hopefully. Just a quick u

Positivity

Feb 15th, 2022 9m 58s

What happened two weeks ago vs. this week? I feel positive, energized, and not at any of the negativity I felt two weeks ago. I can't think of things that have changed, but I am focusing on the good things over the last two weeks. Positivity is

Backward Progress

Feb 1st, 2022 8m 31s

Episode NotesIt's been a disappointing two weeks. I have questions about whether or not I want to keep going with this podcast, though I recognize a lot of it has to do with my (lack of) progress. There's a lot to think about, and I try to do
