Just a couple of pictures of me, one taken in June of 2007, when I was 46, and one taken of me today, at 57. I’m in about the same pose, and wearing the same sweater, which I knitted back in 2007. The sweater is in the picture because this is the ONLY picture I have of me back then, … Continue reading →
This was the month in which I broke through my 3-days fasting block. Went four days easily and comfortably on just water, coffee, and a daily multivitamin, and I think I could have done five, but we had a roast that needed to be cooked and eaten before it went bad. I fasted yesterday just because I felt like it, … Continue reading →
In spite of everything (and there’s a lot of “everything” going on right now), I took the entire day off yesterday to play a video game. Not just any video game, though. The one for which I went out and bought a Playstation several years ago, and the one for which I dug out my X-Box and bought a NEW … Continue reading →
There are folks who want to write books. Then there are those of us who write because drinking kills your liver (and killed most of our relatives) and therapy is too fucking expensive. You think I jest (and to a certain extent, I do). But there is something that drives people to turn themselves inside out, to rip every event … Continue reading →
After the “Failed to drink enough water, felt like crap” fast last month, this month I decided to skip any extended fasting. I have held to: ONE ketogenic meal a day, NO snacks. We had a family holiday in the month over at my inlaws’ place (combined birthday and Father’s Day) so there one day of eating utterly NON-keto food. … Continue reading →

Fun stuff first. Here’s where I started. (And why I started.) Waistline: 42″ even (106.68 cm) Here’s where I am today. Waistline: 35″ even DOWN 7″ (88.9 cm) DOWN 17.78 cm As noted in a previous post, I’ve stopped checking blood sugars. My fingers were pincushions, and my blood glucose before and after meals is always healthy/ low normal. In … Continue reading →
Sunday Matt said, “So… you wanna go long on the fasting?” My response. “Yeah.” So I had a wonderful ribeye steak (ribeyes are fatty, and I ate the damn fat, and it was delicious) and a salad with lemon juice instead of dressing at our favorite restaurant last Sunday at 4 pm. Have not had a bite of food since. As … Continue reading →
A month ago, I told you about the books I was reading, mentioned my previous morbid obesity, type 2 diabetes, and tongue cancer. What I didn’t mention is that while the majority of my family on my father’s side died in their 50s of complications of raging alcoholism (which I neatly sidestepped by deciding when I was a kid that … Continue reading →
Honestly, I don’t know ANYONE who likes the state of the world right now. Not a single person. And I’ve been wanting to write something about this, but I have not had an inch of breathing room for blogging all month. But I was looking for something I’d written about people getting paid for their work this morning, and tripped … Continue reading →
