Today did not go as planned. I think I got most of my 2 mile walk in today, but I can’t be certain since I didn’t record it. Even though I don’t feel successful today, I at least did not screw up my eating (which I actually did very little of). Tomorrow is the weigh-in with Brook. Neither of us feel confident, but she’s looking a little thinner to me, so I think she secretly knows she’s won the contest....
Important Disclaimer: I am neither a doctor, a physicist, nor a mechanic…but I have something to say. There’s a grim reality I have to face soon, but I’ll get to that in a moment. First, I’d like to remind everyone that physics trumps everything. It governs everything that moves or sits still. It out ranks genetics. I say this because there are gravitationally challenged (trying to be less offensive as some are sensitive to the word “fat”) people who have beliefs such as:...
I’ve often thought about how easy it is for us to get food. I mean, I’m not that old, but I remember my grandmother telling me stories of growing and raising their own food. In 1920’s eastern Kentucky, that was the way. You had to burn a lot of calories just get calories to burn. Not so these days. I’m grateful for the access, but it’s not the best for my physique....
I snapped a potential cover photo through the window of the conference room, but opted not to use it due to the reflection in the glass. Instead I used Dall-e-2’s stable diffusion to generate some digital art of downtown Spokane. I’ll put my inferior photo below. That’s as close as I got to being outside today. I don’t have a vehicle and didn’t bring anything warm, so I didn’t set foot outside....
Typically, I’d be more likely to use a hotel’s wall-mounted hair dryer than their fitness center. Tonight that had to change. It was either jump on one of these machines, or break my daily exercise streak. I chose the machine called the Zero Runner (because that is precisely how much I like to run… Zero). This thing had me sweating in under five minutes. I lasted just over 20 minutes (1....
I’m currently in Salt Lake City waiting to board my flight for Spokane. My wonderful, new water bottle that Eliana bought me is back in Billings where I stupidly left it. 😠 I am able to use the app that came with it though, just manually adding whatever I consume. Obviously I couldn’t travel with my protein shakes, and didn’t want to try to bring 5 nights worth of keto stuff with me, so I’m dealing with airport food today....
