RAF077: Uber Diet Report Part I

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/09/12

I have a lot of diet information, so I am splitting this session into two parts. I have been reading Michael Matthews’ book Bigger, Leaner, Stronger, and decided to start having small meals before and after workouts to promote muscle synthesis. The thing I like about this book the most is that almost every assertion, other than those based on the author’s own experience, is supported by peer-reviewed research. All of this is extremely well-documented. There are over 30 pages of endnotes and

RAF076: The Meaning of Life

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/09/07

Today it feels great being outside. This is a big change from a year ago, when I still didn’t get out of my house much, and certainly didn’t like warm weather like this. But being confined to city life, working in a cubicle, makes me really appreciate these moments now. Also today I have been doing some of the things I love in my life. I now enjoy something that I previously looked at as a chore, something I had to get over with before getting back to the things I really enjoyed. Now, this is what I

RAF075: Hit the Road, Jack!

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/09/05

Title: Hit the Road, Jack! I get some inspiration from Ray Charles, whom I once saw performing life in Atlanta, Georgia. But I don’t take the Rayettes’ advice about coming back “no more, no more, no more, no more.” I will definitely be back for more. I feel like God has looked down on this part of the world and blessed us with a beautiful day. Be aware of your addictions. Right or wrong, the truth about me is that I am addicted to caffeine. I don’t know if it’s necessarily bad for me, but if I go

RAF074: Tempatation - What Do Supermodels Eat for...

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/08/31

Title: What Do Supermodels Eat for Breakfast How do we avoid temptation? I like to look at the life of Jesus for inspiration, as his life is the one I try to model my own after. Jesus, though divine, was also human. He, by choice, was vulnerable to all of the harms which threaten us, including physical harm and obviously, death. He had the same urges we do and the same hunger and instinct for avoiding pain and discomfort. He had Satan, the world’s most accomplished tempter, focusing on him

RAF073: A New Personal Record

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/08/29

Today I walk the entire perimeter of Lake Fayetteville, though my watch did not record the full distance. In the Medical Department, I receive the lab report from the podiatrist which was good news. I will keep an eye on the situation though, in case the problem returns. I have been working out in the gym, twice this week, but I also sustained a “micro-injury” while attempting a squat for the first time, probably, since I was in high school. It was the same knee that had me out for six weeks last

RAF072: A Visit to the Podiatrist

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/08/24

I’ve seen several medical professionals this week. One of them was a new experience for me. I have never been to a podiatrist, but now I know what it is like. The exam room was a little different because there is a table that allows your feet to hang off the end. The nurse made me extremely tense by cutting and grinding my toenails. But other than the tension, she didn’t hurt me. She was obviously a very experienced and proficient professional. But it was a harrowing time for me. I also set a new

RAF071: Dieticians, Rabbits, and an Original Song

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/08/22

The project for a good diet is a constantly-changing thing. According to Angela, I’m doing quite well, though. And I feel good about my diet. As my ability to take in calories improves, I am adding more fruit, grains, and vegetables at the suggestion of my dietician. The protein question is still up for debate, and I have quite a bit of research to do. Along the trail I see and smell honeysuckle and come within a foot of a brown rabbit. I end the show with an old song I wrote years ago that just

RAF070: A New Strategy

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/08/17

On the trail today in the early morning, I see a crawfish (also known as a crawdad or mudbug) and think it’s a scorpion. It crawls across the concrete of the trail in front of me. I’ve included a video on the YouTube channel and the website. Loving my life, as I do passionately, like any great love, requires flexibility. As I learn about the person I love, I can apply that knowledge to love her more fully. As I learn about what makes a healthy life, I can live it more fully. So I am working on

RAF069: Getting Variety in My Diet

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/08/15

It’s exciting to be getting closer to walking a complete loop around my favorite course at Lake Fayetteville, though after all this time I am still not sure exactly how long that loop is. I’ve been using yogurt as my recovery meal. It’s high-protein and I like it and it’s convenient. But I want to mix it up a bit and I’m thinking of adding some whey, or a protein bar as options. Jerky would also be a good idea, and I could eat it in the car on the way back from my walk, and is more dense than just

RAF068: Know and Go and the Squirrel Report

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/08/10

When people notice how much weight I have lost, they often ask me how I did it. What diet I would recommend. And at this point I can only say what I have done, what worked for me. For people who are like me, the answer is that they need to find foods they like that fit into a lower-calorie diet. This is really different for each person. But that isn’t the answer people need to hear. The important thing to know is that I was able to get off the weight-loss “train” and have a diet and exercise plan

"From life's school of war: what does not kill me makes me stronger" -- Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols Gettin’ All Nietzschean on y’all. While I need to be careful not to overdo it, I occasionally need to stretch beyond my current abilities in order to foster positive change in my being. Like going an additional unknown distance on my walks. However, I do need to prepare for challenges. I regret not taking Advil

RAF066: Protein: How Much Do You Need?

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/08/03

I am happy to be working out pretty hard in the gym now. If feels good, and I’m not afraid of using the arm that has been giving me trouble. I don’t think I’ll damage it. And I have not been feeling a lot of pain. As usual it seems that exercise seems to decrease my pain rather than increase it. There is so much information available that it is very difficult to decide what is and is not good advice. The information I pass on here, for the most part, is only lightly researched. I have read the

RAF065: Abundance

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/08/01

We live in a world of abundance. Don’t be afraid to share your ideas. No one is going to steal your idea and make it into something big. Because it is not only the inspiration, but the perspiration that makes an idea into something great. Just do it. Just share it. Do the hard work. If you can come up with a plan for fitness and execute it, you can do just about anything. Have you?

RAF064: Time and Water

2018/07/27

Medical Department: My general practitioner looked at the special Neck x-ray that I had done recently, and said a bunch of words like “degenerative” and “calcification”. Words over five syllables just sound scary. So the next step is to see a Neurosurgeon – stay tuned. I am wearing sunscreen today, so you can do not only as I say, but as I do. I have fair skin and if you do too, you’ll want to be especially protective of your skin. Most people out on the trail are in their own microcosm. They listen

RAF063: Confidence and Distraction

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/07/25

Work can be a distraction, even though it is an important and integral part of my life. I’m very grateful to be employed, but life is more than work. I need to remember that. It is late in the day, but it is the time of year when I need to wear sunscreen when I go out. Skin cancer is a danger associated with exposure over a long period of time, and in the past it was thought that such exposure was healthy. Fit people seem to also have a healthy confidence, have you noticed? I certainly feel better

RAF062: Adductor and Abductor

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/07/20

I have started going to the gym and did a new exercise on a machine that builds hip muscles using resistance and leg-spreading and leg-closing movements, as well as some weighted ab work. I did not do any upper body exercises due to the pain in my right arm. And I was quite sore after the first day. From the medical department -- I got more x-rays after a review of my scoliosis x-rays and found, as expected, that I have more curve in my upper back than I should have. Fashion-wise, I am wearing a new

RAF061: Death and My First Video Episode

2018/07/18

“Death…not really a goal.” We want to live as long as possible because we love our lives. But death comes to us all. If you want to read a brief biography of a regular non-celebrated person, check out the obituaries on your town’s website or in the newspaper. This is a recollection, written by a friend or family member, often with input from others, of the person’s family, work, and community life. Now is the time to write our own obituaries. Not because we expect to die soon, but because we want to

RAF060: Reality is a Myth

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/07/13

How often have you heard someone (or even yourself) say “I’d love to X, but the reality is I am,” as if to say that a door is closed to one? For example, “I would love to lose weight, but the reality is that I’m fat. I’ve always been fat, never been able to lose weight – it’s just reality and I have to accept it.” Or “I’d like to go to college, but the reality is I’m just not smart enough.” Poppycock! Nothing in the future is reality until it happens. Challenge “reality”. Question it. Make your own

RAF059: Spring in Veteran's Park

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/07/11

I start at Veteran’s park, where trees are blooming. There seems to be a discrepancy in the mile markers. One of them says the whole loop is 5.25 miles, and it marks the 5.28 mile point? It’s a beautiful day and I discover a new part of the Lake Fayetteville trail. Lack of sleep changes my resistance, both mentally and physically. I’ve been a little short of sleep lately and find myself indulging in some big high-fat meals. If you can catch up on sleep, that’s what I’ve been doing.

RAF058: The Crucial Time of Every Diet

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/07/06

This is the time when diets and whole health plans go wrong. I’ve lost a lot of weight quickly and my metabolism is shot. I can’t eat more than about 1200 calories without gaining. Perhaps the hardest part of this process is fine-tuning my diet. It’s not easy to move just 60 calories more or less, but I need to make small adjustments now. You can avoid this by not losing weight so quickly! As hard as it is for most of us to lose weight, it is tempting, once you get in the groove, to move too
