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 →
Something you might not know about me. Back in the early 2000’s, I was fat. Not chubby. Not “just need to lose a few pounds.” Morbidy obese. The point at which I stopped weighing myself and just gave up was when the scale hit 220, but I didn’t quit eating, and didn’t quit needing roomier clothes. So I weighed more … Continue reading →
I have mentioned (from time to time), that I am incapable of sitting still. Moving fingers prevent me from having to bounce a foot. A moving foot while I read allows me to keep my hands still for a bit. Awake, I find myself randomly walking down the hall in the middle of work without any conscious awareness that I … Continue reading →
