Episode Notes

One last update before I take a little vacation. The results today aren't showing a downward trend but overall I feel good, and I'm not really worried about the numbers today. Just need to stay positive and keep going.

Seizure Free Milestone

Episode Notes

Great progress once again! Apart from being 180 days seizure-free, I had a good week both in terms of numbers and being active. No major topics discussed today but listen in to hear about my progress.

I also recommended the movie "Here Today", starring Billy Crystal & Tiffany Haddish.

Activity Tracking

Activity Tracking

In this week's episode I talk a little about how I track my activity with my smart watch and the pros and cons of the "auto pause" feature. Regular features return - weight loss numbers updates, my goals, what's been good and not-so-good in the last week, plus what's keeping me sane.

Round Numbers

Episode Notes

Another good week! I talk a bit about the pros and cons of MyFitnessPal vs. Cronometer, two calorie tracking apps that I have put to use in my weight loss efforts. Plus, a significant drop on the moving average, and a bit of a bummer with regard to my bicycle - again.

Back Pain

Episode Notes

I hurt my back this weekend so I made things easier on myself by recording an episode on my phone. No editing today, just a straight, short update.

Here's a YouTube video I found with some stretches to help with my back pain while sitting in the office at my desk:

In-Person Visits

Episode Notes

Another week of positive news! I had a very small loss of 0.1 pounds this week, but it was everything else around the week that made for great "life" progress. Plus some talk about movies I've watched recently (very small talk).

Positive Results

The scale number is decreasing

"Positive Results"

The scale numbers cooperated over the last 18 days (despite another long weekend). However, I didn't meet my goals that I set in the last episode.

Here are some of the things I mentioned that caught my attention:

  • "The Block" - Australian Reality TV Show on Amazon Prime
  • "The Magicians" - a book by Lev Grossman. The TV show The Magicians is based on this novel.
  • The Sens Call-Ups Podcast - a local podcast covering the Ottawa Senators.
