Cold/Flu number two for 2018 achieved
Two thousand and eighteen AD (CE is stupid) is off to be icky start. Just as I overcame one cold (or flu, I can’t tell), I relapse into some serious congestion courtesy of Somara. I don’t recall infecting each other … Continue reading

The future of food, part two: Soylent
This “food substitute” has gotten the most attention…in the circles (or bubble if you believe such nonsense) of news I follow, mainly stuff influenced by the Economist, The Nation and scientifically-slanted podcasts. Soylent was also written about by the token tech … Continue reading
The future of food, part one
A couple podcasts I like to listen to have had episodes about the future of food. How much protein we can get from crickets (blech!) and as always, how much meat we chunky Americans need to scale back on. Darn … Continue reading
Recovered (mostly) from first bout of illness for 2018!
It’s great to be up and about after spending a few days in bad and/or cooped up at home. Seems I had an upper respiratory thing, not exactly the flu, which I got a shot for. I imagine it could’ve … Continue reading

New exercise streak achieved for Winter Solstice ’17
Success! I did it again. I’ve achieved a continuous streak of 14 days, making that the new record on my Activity app. Now to push the limit. Last time, I got lazy and was too tired, fizzling out at 13 … Continue reading
Quadruple movement achieved
Could’ve sworn I’ve done this before but it turns out, I haven’t until last night. I pulled it off by hitting the gym to do my big workout on a Saturday, then normal stuff and concluding with a lot of … Continue reading
December 2017 achievement!
Another fitness award achieved. This one is granted by the Activity application if you exercise at least 15 minutes for nine days. Technically, I should have received this yesterday because I only skipped last Wednesday. The stupid battery on my … Continue reading
New exercise streak achieved!
Today I set a new record via my Apple Watch, as it says above, I have achieved my Exercise and Move goals for 13 days in a row for the first time. The last goal accomplished was 12 days via … Continue reading
Finally! I got the gold sevens on my Activity app
The reason why this award on my iPhone/Apple Watch eluded me is that a “week” by the devices’ definition is Monday through Sunday. Either way, harnessing the Workout app while on the bike, I will be on my way to … Continue reading
New weight-loss strategy due to hurting knees
Last year, while I was sick, I had enormous problems eating. Like I was going to vomit and at other times, I just wasn’t hungry. After I recovered, food tasted so good and now I’m way overboard. How overboard? My … Continue reading
New weight-loss plan…stop eating at night
Somara has lost a significant amount of weight. Enough that she needed to buy new clothes…and she has been rubbing my nose in it because she hates exercise, says it’s boring. Since I’ve ballooned back up after my leave last … Continue reading
Nova Scotia achieved!
Adding this to my Running Badges’ page, you can see the link above along with all the other achievements. Next destination, Toad River which is in British Columbia.
Battle of the Bulge ’17
I’ve been ignoring the elephant in the virtual room lately…me. Last year, my illness really pulled off the weight to the sound of 20 pounds. The only good side effect of losing one’s appetite with occasional vomiting. The weight came … Continue reading
New page covering my Running Badges
Last week I finally ran my 2500th mile at the gym. It was way past due compared to how long it took me to achieve the other milestones. To celebrate, I stole an idea from the gym’s exercise bikes. Every … Continue reading
2500 Miles!
I’m making badges for all my running accomplishments but today I passed the 2500-mile barrier. Overall I am behind schedule thanks to a couple weak years in which I had jelly legs and stomach issues preventing me from adding to … Continue reading
