When I recorded this episode I had lost 50 pounds, more than ever, and I had a goal of losing 100 total within the year. That’s probably twice as much as I should have lost. I think when I spoke with my cardiologist a few weeks ago, he said something like 3 or 4 pounds…

Being reasonable, having patience is a recurring theme in my diet and exercise work. I’ve been on both ends of each. Eating too much or too little, exercising too much or too little.

In episode 38 I met with Tom and we talked about our goals and priorities. At the time I had set the specific goal of running two complete laps at Lake Fayetteville in a day. I wound up meeting the goal, adjusting for the fact that by November of 2018 I had decided that running…

I made a big mistake, but one that can be corrected. This is one lesson that I learned and remembered. It is a strong memory, perhaps because of the suffering I experienced. Medicine today is amazing, and it works if you use it and use it properly. So I have never gone back to the…

I can really identify with the feelings expressed in episode 35. And it reminds me that when I can work out I should be grateful for the opportunity. Read the full post at http://RunningAFEVER.com/269 Photo by Matheus Ferrero on Unsplash Check out this episode!

Last week I had a couple of COVID symptoms. I had some nausea and even though I had slept seven or eight hours the previous night, by mid-afternoon I was completely exhausted. Now, the list of symptoms is pretty common, so I think most people are likely to get at least a couple at once…

It’s amazing looking back knowing what I now know. I didn’t include this cut, but I made a comment to the effect of “you’ll never see me wear less than this.” It was because I was embarrassed about my body. But toward the end of the year, I felt really good about it and would…

Well you can see I’m not only getting no more than 600 calories and STILL trying to “ramp up”. The amazing thing is how calm I am and how not-hungry I am. I am forced to be more moderate in my exercise, but my dieting is still very extreme. Read the full post at http://RunningAFEVER.com…
