This 100 days leads right up to my 55th birthday, which will be April 18. The 2025 version didn’t go well at all. I had wanted to drop somewhere around 10 pounds. Instead, it was just 1-2 pounds. Keto just didn’t work as well for me last year. In both 2023 and 2024, I had
I remember the first time I really thought about what the statement “nothing tastes as good as healthy feels”. I was trying to reason my way through changing my not all the way healthy diet. I realized, though, this reasoning was at odds with my feeling about it. I had a very positive emotional response
Since I can remember, I’ve been interested in basketball and national politics. In the past couple of years, though, my interest in national politics has waned as it has increasingly become more WWE than policy. My interest in sports have widened to include football, too. Sports have become an almost unbelievable celebration of human ability.
Instead of resolutions each year, I set out on a 100 Day Challenge that starts 100 days before my birthday, April 18. I’ll turn 54 that day, and I always want it to be a day I’m proud of instead of sad about. For my health goals, I’ve set myself up well for the past
In the past couple of weeks and months, right around the time I hit 53, I’ve realized I need to make a couple of changes in my growth mindset. In case you haven’t heard of it, a growth mindset is the firm belief that learning, effort, and persistence will create improvements in all areas of
My 100-Day keto results and experiences were both better and worse than I thought they would be. 10 Pound Weight Loss First, the good. My 30-day weight was right at 186 on April 18, my birthday. I’ve seen a couple of days under 185 on my 7-day chart. That beat my goal of 190, and
Winter is a great time for me to pursue my health goals. I’m almost always in control of it since we rarely travel and I mostly leave the house for exercise or groceries. That hasn’t been the case this year, as we’ve already had two trips where it was difficult to do a keto diet
I was going to call this post “My 2024 Physical Goals”, but it just doesn’t feel right to me to call them goals. I’m just going to do what I know I need to do, and I’ll achieve what I want to achieve. There’s no striving necessary. Anyway, here they are through April 18, 2024,
2023 turned into a great year for me, and I’m not quite finished celebrating. We have our annual New Year’s Day party for close friends and neighbors, so there will be one last hurrah before I start practicing for 2024. With a birthday on the 108th day of the year, I “practice” what I want
I just passed the 6 week mark on the ketogenic diet, and I’m still feeling great with few issues. The last 2 weeks have been a bit different than the previous 4. It feels like my body is now on the other side of an “adjustment” of some kind, and I’m back to feeling like
