RAF057: The Metabolic Project

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/07/04

It’s a great spring day, so I am sorry if you are reading this in the heat of August wherever you are. Just think of me as a breath of crisp spring air in your sweltering day. And you can gloat when it’s August for me and you’re enjoying crisp fall weather!

RAF056: Inversion and the Battle for Metabolism

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/06/29

I lost 1.8 pounds last night. It’s a constant battle trying to increase the calories I can burn in a day. It’s the Battle for Metabolism. I acquire an inversion table and try it out. It feels amazing, really unlike anything I’ve ever felt. I meet my friend Brittany on the trail without even recognizing her until after she has past. And get closer to some ducks than humans should be allowed to get. A beautiful spring day on the trail at Lake Fayetteville. Enjoy. Weight (change since Jan 2018): 215

RAF055: Easing Down

2018/06/27

I keep close track of calories, trying to slowly cut to a point that would level me out at 204 pounds, the weight I was at the end of the contest, but without starving and dehydrating myself to that point. Weight (change since Jan 2018): 215 (-59) Workout time: 40 Minutes Total Distance (total since Nov 2017): 1.87 Miles (74.08) Steps: 14,117 Goals: (1) Run 10.5 miles in one day by 11/18/18 (2) Lose 100lbs by 12/25/18

RAF054: Visit with Dr. Bicak

2018/06/25

I see my general practitioner, who breaks down the possible causes of my arm pain. He also displays his artistic skills on a sheet of exam table paper, preserved here as the featured image. The problem is with a pinched nerve in my neck. It also may be complicated by scoliosis, because it seems my shoulders are unbalanced. Lots of good information here.

RAF053: The Story about my Back and What Comes Next

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/06/22

I visit my doctor and get some information about what might be happening to my back and causing the arm pain that I have been experiencing. Heading out under the light of the moon on an early Saturday morning, I ponder moving forward with my health after the weight loss contest. I talk about my “cheat meal” and, with all the things going on with my body right now, decide not to run again for a while. The effect of 60 hours of fasting was an 8-pound loss, prior to the final “biggest loser” weigh-in

RAF052: Scales, Swedes, and Millions from China

2018/06/20

Today I learn something from Dave Jackson’s Logical Weight Loss podcast: calories burned depends on, among other things, total body weight. So I’ll be getting more accurate information from my fitness watch now as I periodically update my weight in the app. The end of the “Biggest Loser” contest at work, which I am going to win by the way, is so close I can taste it, and I plan to immediately resume a more reasonable weight management diet and exercise plan after the final weigh-in. I saw, in the

RAF051: Positive Talking

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/06/15

I start the workout coming straight from the grocery store, which makes an excellent opportunity for an accurate diet report. I discover my medical mantra, which is “Take care of yourself, your body is your most important asset.” Oatmeal, the superfood, comes in flavors that add 30-100 calories, but provide a little variety. Edamame is available in the area of the frozen foods section where natural foods are found. It’s important not only to think positively but to talk positively, because

RAF050: Hip Slick Hotel Run

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/06/13

I find myself a twelve-hour away from home on a short trip to the east. In a hotel that is way too hip for me, I find a gym and record the first ever Running: A FEVER episode from a treadmill. This is a good example of a situation that makes exercise and healthy dieting inconvenient. I find some ways to deal with this, though. The trip is short, so I just bring most of my food with me in a cooler. I have a Wendy’s chili, 350 calories, on the way. The neighborhood is not conducive to walking outside,

RAF049: Not As I Do

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/06/08

It is the first day of spring and a beautiful one, though it was freezing when I left for work this morning. I give a full definition of anabolism and catabolism in the first ever Chemical Biology section of the Medical Department report. Two things happen when you have enough water and are not dehydrated. Anabolic hormones are released causing growth of muscle tissue vs. destruction (catabolic hormones) due to dehydration. And fat cells more easily release fat into the bloodstream. So it’s

RAF048: What is Anabolism?

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/06/06

In addition to trying out my rain suit for the first time on the trail, I present a lengthy hydration report including a reference to what bodybuilders call anabolism, which, per BioNinja.com means “the synthesis of complex molecules from simpler molecules including the formation of macromolecules from monomers by condensation reactions”. Translated, this means basically building, as opposed to catabolism, which refers to breaking down, and which the same site refers to as “the breakdown of complex

RAF046: The External Factor

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/06/01

I take a walk on breaks at work on an early Sunday morning when no one else is at the office. As the biggest loser contest draws to a close I begin to reflect on the journey we have taken together so far. I recognize the importance of setting a goal, the concept of a motivating factor that is not just the destination, but a passion that drives the daily grind of making my way to that goal.

RAF045: Trying on Jeans

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/05/30

I went to Walmart to try on some jeans. I’ve gone from a size 44 to a size 38. I’m still putting off buying a new wardrobe because I’m not down to my ideal weight yet. But at least I know where I stand. I’ve lost six inches in my waist. I talk a little about the BMI controversy. Fortunately the biometrics standards at my company account for that somewhat by allowing a waist measurement to suffice (37 inches or less for men, 35 for women) if my BMI is too high. I’ve been trying six meals a day for a

RAF044: The Weigh-In

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/05/25

The contest has gone nine weeks and I am in the lead. I look forward to winning the prize to offset some of my recent purchases of workout clothing. I’m going to finish the contest but I do not plan to do this again. I hope I don’t have to, but I am now convinced that just losing weight is not the goal, and can be dangerous if a lot of weight comes off in a short period of time. Here is a spreadsheet I developed for biometrics tracking at work: https://Biometrics_Spreadsheet It will calculate your

RAF043: No More Mr. Nice Guy

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/05/23

I start the day with already over 7,000 steps, and though I’m only going a half mile, I’m hitting the hills and increasing my pace to be a little more aggressive, and build strength. I had a consultation with a dietitian today, and got some great information that I’ll detail in a special episode. But she was pretty amazed at the fact that I am still losing weight, because most people plateau earlier. I think there is a chance for me to recover my metabolism and avoid the yo-yo effect. But now I can

RAF042: Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA)

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/05/21

Today I’m off to a sports nutrition store near where I live called Complete Nutrition. In talking with some fellow “losers” at work I found out they can provide a body composition report. The report give weight of fat, water, and muscle/skeletal tissue, BMI, body fat and muscle by percentage of total weight, and, weirdly, the weight of various body parts.

RAF041: 50 Down, 50 To Go

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/05/18

Because I am trying to improve my strength I am taking trails with more variance in elevation. I think I will get more resistance and challenge my muscles by walking up and down the hills. One thing I learned from the body composition test was that I need to build muscle. No big surprise there, as I suspected that my weight loss included muscle as well as fat. I am considering different options. I will probably join a gym to have access to machines that will help me isolate different muscle groups

I take a walk with my friend Tom Rohr, president of the St. Anthony of Padua Educational Society (Padua Media), and founder of the Padua Podcast Network. Tom is a serious walker, sometimes walking 10 miles in an hour and a half. It is a great way to listen to his favorite podcasts. I tend to get really involved and take on a lot of activities, so I need to live longer to do everything I want to do. That’s my motivation. It’s great to be out on a beautiful day walking with a friend. Tom is also a
