“That's taxpayer’s money that is going to support research and development and pilot projects to develop a food system that is based on environmental destruction and greed and disregard for animals, fish, and any of the other marine mammals that might be around it.” - Andrianna Natsoulas Andrianna Natsoulas is the campaign director for Don't Cage Our Oceans, an organization that exists to keep our oceans free from industrial fish farms. Offshore finfish farming is the mass cultivation of finfish in marine waters, in underwater or floating net pens, pods, and cages. Offshore finfish farms are factory farms that harm public health, the environment, and local communities and economies that rely on the ocean and its resources. Don’t Cage Our Oceans are a coalition of diverse organizations working together to stop the development of offshore finfish farming in the United States through federal law, policies, and coalition building. And, although it is not yet happening, right now the US Administration and Congress are promoting this kind of farming, which would be nothing short of disastrous for the oceans, the planet and the people and animals who live here. dontcageouroceans.org…

Why I'm Avoiding Maltodextrin 24:19

2 years sitten24:19

24:19

In a journey to try to find something to flavor my water, I came across the ingredient Maltodextrin and found out: It can be used as an insecticide It hurts your gut Creates a MAMMOTH sugar spike in your blood It's made from Corn, which (most of it) is GMO It increases E coli It is in EVERYTHING (including my protein powder from GNC or a Vegan protein powder). When I looked at all the ingredients to flavor your water, I wanted something that didn't have any of the following: Maltodextrin High Fructose Corn Syrup Aspartame I was amazed at how this stuff is just in everything. Why? Because it's CHEAP. Cirkul Flavoring Your Water Your Way This is an exciting system where you can buy a bottle or just a lid, and you slide this capsule into the top with a flavor packet and pick how much of the flavoring you want (so you decide how much flavor you get). I was drinking an Advocare product with a lot of caffeine that wasn't cheap. So far, one capsule (about $4) lasted me a few days (which is much less than what I was doing). My favorite taste is tea with lemon. Some of them (watermelon/strawberry) just tasted sweet. Check it out . Keto Mojo I am in my 50s and can't see much of the lower half of my body due to my belly. I've had enough. My mother had Type 1 diabetes, so I'm at risk, and I'm not "hoping" I don't get it; I want to see where my blood sugar is, so I bought a Keto Mojo kit. This should arrive next week, and while I'm not looking forward to pricking my fingers, a member of the Monthly Fitness Challenge uses one and says it's not that big a deal, and you barely get pricked.

Long Lasting Motivation 24:31

2 years sitten24:31

24:31

Why do we lose the motivation we have on the first day of the year? I'm listening to the book The 6 Habits of Growth on Audible, and it really got me thinking. AMBITIOUS FUTURES We get excited about the future on January 1st, and we say things like, "This will be the year," and for the next few days, or weeks, and for a few, a few months, we take steps. But eventually, we fall back into old habits. So to figure out what to do, just repeat January 1st. Think positively about your future. Make ambitious goals Keep the goals in front of you Start off the day in the right direction Monitor your success DAILY ROUTINE Start off your day doing five minutes ot: Reading something positive Moving REVIEWING YOUR GOALS Another strategy to stop being overwhelmed is to think of THREE things you need to do today and ONLY focus on those three things. I have been doing this and I am AMAZED at how good doing little things like "Putting my dishes in the dishwasher into the sink" or "Clean the fan today." These "Little wins" give you the confidence to move forward. A "FIGURE IT OUT" MINDSET Instead of saying, "I'll never complete this project on time," add a "So I'm going to ______." This shows you are not giving up, and points you toward action. It shows that you have a figure-it-out mentality. AMBITION LEADS TO MOTIVATION So many people feel you need the motivation to move, but that is backward. Your ambitions inspire you to move. When you move, that movement creates momentum. That momentum boosts our confidence which influences us to keep going and keep focusing on our goals. When you lose your motivation, what is happening is you lose what you’re fighting for. TWO THINGS I HEAR OVER AND OVER The book points out the power of Journaling (it is self-reflective and can again help you stay focused on your goals. I started using Day One, and I love it. In the past, I've used Penzu. You can do more with a "Workout buddy," so I created the Monthly weight loss challenge. There is no unrealistic goals, no money, just friendly competition with a built-in support group. The whole thing is free. If you lose some weight and want to give some of that value back, that would be awesome , but it's not mandatory.

Who Wants to Do a Monthly Challenge? 11:21

2 years sitten11:21

11:21

I took some time off, and now I'm back and ready to play. I've tried weight loss competitions before like Healthy Wage where they lure you in with the chance of earning big bucks. Their goals are long-term, and for me, the money wasn't a great motivator, and with the shortest challenge being six months, I would end up forgetting about it. So I love the community we have for the Logical Losers, and I wanted to combine the community with a challenge. So I've combined the community with a challenge. Here is what I've put together A free app that works on Apple or Android phones where we can leave messages for each other via text, audio, video, images, etc. While I found some apps for the weight loss challenge that I liked better it was hard to find one that works on both Apple and Android that was free and allowed me to set the goal. You can sign up at www.monthlychallenge.fit and sign up and join the community. When it comes to weight loss, you have to turn off the voice that brings all the negative talk, and maybe try something new. I hope to work with you as you inspired me, and I inspire you as we all work together with the same goal: lose weight and feel better.

Today I'm stating the obvious. I don't have time to do this show as consistently as I once did. I talk about the new schedule. I also have a cronometer update, and an announcement. Weigh In Previous:237.5 Current: 235.1 Cronometer Ads Men's and Women's Health Scores I love the Cronometer app. They added a new iWatch app which makes it easy to see what is going on. They also added two scores to help you see if you're getting all the nutrients you need. See Men's Health Score Explanation See Women's health Score Explanation Why I Started This Podcast I thought announcing my weight to the world would help me hold myself accountable. It did until it didn't. Someone once left a review in Apple complaining that I was gaining weight. I woke up the next day, and I was still breathing. This was up to me, and me only. I've Been Going How Long? I started this show in 2018 so so almost 15 years. This might help explain why I've run out of things to say on a regular basis. I think I already know to: Quit eating processed foods Quit drinking soda Drink plenty of water Get plenty of Sleep Get out and move Muscle burns Fat I could go on. But I just don't have the passion I once did. I'm now a great-uncle and my priorities have shifted, and I have other things happening in my life. I'm Not Quitting My Fitness Goals I'm not off to go get fat (I've kind of got that going already). I am still fighting to be healthy, lose weight, and live long and live well. I have great-nieces and nephews and I want to see their kids (someday - many, MANY, days from now). Part of It Was Mental By not being able to give this show "My All" it bothered me. It bothered me to not be losing weight. I was letting myself down. By going on a "When I have something to say" schedule, I can take care of these other priorities and know that you and I have talked, and you know it's not you - it's me.

Cubii Review - Safe HIIT 24:51

3 years sitten24:51

24:51

Lose weight while you watch TV right? Well, while using a Cubii does burn calories, I see this more as a rehabilitation tool. I would classify at as "better than nothing" so if you're doing nothing, this is not a bad choice. I have been using it while I watch TV, however, if you're watching a movie and you're going to be there a while, for me, my butt got hot, and it became weird. After all, I don't want to push a bunch of butt sweat into my couch (yes I had jeans on, but if you do this enough... well). These are not cheap . I bought my pro version used. As always what is the best exercise? The one you do. WEIGH IN Primarily due to my birthday being yesterday (I'm 57) I am up a pound setting a new record of 237. Ugh. But I'm back to drinking water, getting more sleep and counting calories. I already lost a little. How to do HIIT Safely I got this by watching a video from Dr. Eric Berg DC. You can check out his YouTube Channel. Here is the video I'm talking about He points out that High-Intensity Interval Training is a great way to lose weight. It sets your body up to burn fat while you sleep. However, *and I'm guilty of this) you will see someone talk about HIIT and the directions are "Go 1 minutes on and take one minute off," and depending on your fitness level that may be too much out of the gate. FINDING YOUR INTERVAL So what Dr. Berg mentions is: Take your pulse. I have Fingertip Oxygen Concentrator which also measures my heart rate. This is your resting heart rate. Exercise for a minute. This could be jumping jacks, push-ups, jumping rope, Spin bike, Kettlebell, the idea is you want to push pretty hard here (always talk to your doctor first). Take your pulse after 1 minute of exercise. We will call this top rate. Sit and rest for 1 minute and take your pulse again. We will call this cool down rate. Subtract top rate from your cool down rate. That is your recovery number. For me my resting rate was 70BPM My top rate was 105 My cool down rate 75 105-75 = 30 (My recovery). Recovery Scorecard (A higher number is good) 12 beats or less you need help 13-20 moderate risk 20-30 OK More than 30 you're great Figuring Out Your Interval Now that we know our resting heart rate (our first measurement). Exercise for 1 minute, and when your minute is over, start a timer to see how long it takes to get back to your resting heart rate. That is your safe interval. For me to get back to my resting heart rate would take about 2 minutes. So I could do 1 minute of exercise and then take 2 minutes to rest and then repeat. If you do 4-6 repetitions twice a week, it can make a difference. Here is his video Become a Logical Loser Want more support? Need an accountability partner?

Its Time to Do Something Different - New Year - New Strategy 38:32

3 years sitten38:32

38:32

Well, when what you are doing is not working you have to try something new. After hitting a new weight loss high of 236. I knew I had to do something. SIMPLE FASTING APP I am trying a new app at https://simplefastingapp.com which has me documenting what I ate (but not calorie counting). The idea is to put in the data easily, so I can use the app as a mirror and see my bad habits. It's more than a fasting app (even though at its core it is a fasting app). It works as in addition to fasting, they have articles to read, graphics to show you where are you to keep you focused on how the choices are making could be better. When you make better choices you get better results. I've used it for about a week, and it is holding my attention. For me fasting 14 hours is a no-brainer. I no longer snack in the evening. Anything I was eating after 7 PM was not helping my goals. FLEXISPIT SIT2GO I normally sit in a mesh office chair.I saw a product from Flexispot called, The Sit2go has a mesh back, but a wide, well-cushioned bike seat. With a 30 day Guarantee, I pulled the trigger. The first day I thought "No Way." After all, even the most comfortable bike seat is not sat on 8 hours a day. By day 2 it was easier. Not enough for me to sit in it all day, but I could see where over time I might get used to it. The bike/chair is made of solid construction, and it does make some noise, it wasn't loud (so it's not "whisper quiet"). I just turned up the volume on my speakers and I was good. On the days I gave it a good trial I road 60-89 minutes a day and burned 300-400 calories. (next time I'll track it on my Apple watch for a better calorie estimate). For me, I don't see this being the ONLY chair in my office. With this in mind, you'll need a spot for it in your office when you're not using it. For me, that is not an issue (I live alone). CUBII Comparison This is a tough one. The Cubbi pro is around $349 and so for me, the Sit2go was in that same price range but looked sturdier. There are smaller models of the Cubii for less money, but when I investigated those I wasn't sure if I would ever break a sweat. That being said, had I bought a Cubii, I would only have one chair in my office, and the Cubii has a handle making it easy to move. The Sit2go has solid wheels on it, but it also takes up much more room. In regards to workout, I can't really comment. When I looked at both on YouTube, this isn't meant to give you a workout like the Nordictrack S22i , but in many cases more of a rehab, "keep moving" situation.

Three Questions to Point You Toward Success 20:32

3 years sitten20:32

20:32

WEIGH-IN It's been a while since we've talked, and I'm up .8 lbs. I've been down a bit and now I'm back up a pinch. I'm resetting and going back to focusing on sleep, water, exercise, and calories. In general, making my health a priority. FITNESS WATCHES ARE LOOKING CLASSY I was getting my weight for my weigh-in (I have a Withings scale) and I noticed they have some very cool-looking fitness watches that have a nice classy look. Check them out THREE QUESTIONS THAT CAN BOOST YOUR SUCCESS This comes from Elizabeth Benten who is the author of the book stop chasing cupcakes. I interviewed her back in 2020 . She explained these three questions and I wanted to share them with you. 1). What can I eat that is better than what you "typically" eat. So if you usually eat brown sugar cinnamon pop tarts, you might find something like Kellogs Raisin Bran is actually healthier (not healthy, but healthier) than what you normally eat. 2). How does it make you feel? There are certain foods I don't eat often (Big Macs, Mr Hero Roman Burgers) and yet when I do I often feel bloated, tired, starving, etc. Feelings that are not good. This can slow us down, and just hinder our success in whatever we are trying to do. 3). Does it work? In the end you might find healthier things to eat that don't make you feel bad, but when you step on the scale - well, it's not moving. The good news is you are headed in a better direction, but you're still not headed in the best direction. Keep tweaking.

My current weight is 235 Shocking Scientific News on Weight Loss According to this article, you should avoid sugar, get sleep, avoid alcohol, exercise more, and stop smoking. WHAT REVOLUTIONARY ADVICE This is what makes this show harder and harder to produce. I started this show in 2008 with the goal being that a weekly show would help me hold myself accountable. It did. Then id didn't. Then it didn't. While I've loved inspiring people to keep trying to lose weight, my audience has had more weight loss success than I have. It's Not You - It's Me Consequently, I'm starting to lose my passion for producing the show. I'm running out of things to talk about. This doesn't mean I don't appreciate you listening, but I'm just bring honest, that some of the thrills of doing the show are depleting. New Hosts on the Horizon I'm looking into some new people to co-host and eventually take over the show. It's very early, and admittedly for a guy who is saying "it's taking too much time" to produce the podcast, it doesn't make much sense to turn this into "logical idol." I mean, let's state the obvious. This isn't Jeopardy looking for a new host. I'll keep you in the loop as I move forward.

The Mental Reason Why Weight Loss is Hard 19:47

4 years sitten19:47

19:47

Weigh in: In my last episode, I was up to 235. This episode as I end July, I'm at 232.96. Part of this success was based on a few simple practices. BECOME A LOGICAL LOSER If you need moral support, and bonus inspiration, become a logical loser at www.logicallosers.com Why Weight Loss is Hard In listening to Mel Robbins, Who is the author of the book The 5 Second Rule: Transform Your Life, Work, and Confidence with Everyday Courage ( get the audiobook for free ) she brought up something that is so simple, and yet makes so much sense. Why is doing all the things that lead to weight loss hard? You know things liked: Giving up Sweets Alcohol Exercising Getting up early Trying new foods Giving up soft drinks We all know this stuff. We know we need to make lifestyle changes and not just jump on the latest fad diet. Are you ready? WE DON'T WANT TO DO THOSE THINGS. Does that make sense doesn't it? We want to be healthy. We want to love longer and avoid pain as long as we don't have to do anything we don't want to do. Do You Rember When Your Parents Were a Pain In Your Butt? They said things like: Put your dishes in the dishwasher Clean your room Make your bed Be home at a certain time Go to bed (little ones love this) Take out the trash Save Your money Why did they tell us these things over and over and over? BECAUSE WE DIDN'T WANT TO DO THEM The Mel Robbins 5 Minute Rule Mel says our brain has two sides. One is autopilot and the other is an emergency brake. We go through life doing those same things over and over. When we try something new, our brain gives us about 5 seconds to take action before it will slam on the emergency brake and stop us from trying something new. Mel suggests we do a countdown as we say out loud 5, 4, 3 ,2, 1 and then we take action. For me, while it doesn't work 100% of the time, it does work the majority of the time. KEEP LOOKING I have also identified the lie is, "I don't have time." I started walking 2 miles a night. I didn't think I had time. I started taking different paths around the neighborhood until I found one that was mainly flat with a few hills. I do it somewhere between 7-8 pm to start. If I'm enjoying myself I might take a different path. The hardest part? Putting on my shoes. For me, walking isn't hard. GETTING OUT OF BED In the morning this is one thing I struggle with. Doing the countdown, or just being my own parent, I've been getting out of bed and riding my exercise bike. I don't always use one of their built in programs, but I continuing to build that habit of getting out of bed and exercising. Something I plan on doing as I now return to the road for my job.

Little Changes Lead To Big Weight Loss 27:39

WEIGH-IN I'm up a touch (235.9). What is upsetting is before the July 4th holiday I was actually down to 233. Time to refocus, and for me, I'm being "active" but not "exercising." AMAZON HALO GETS A NEW FEATURE The Amazon Halo (their version of a fitbit) has announced a new feature where using your camera on your it puts you through a test and provides you with a movement score. If you do "not so good" it provides exercises for you to get back in shape. I plan on doing this as I realize the older I get the more putting on my shoes feels like an Olympic event. The Halo is $99 , and comes with six months of membership. Then it's only $4/month (much cheaper than apple). More information GRANDMA IS BUSTED I was watching (I think) 90-day fiance. A woman who was overweight said she didn't know why she was fat. She told her grandchildren she was going to go get weight loss surgery. The children then let the camera crew know Grandma eats LOTS AND LOTS of sweets. If you're not sure why you're gaining weight and you have a six-year-old in the house, ask them. They will tell you with no filter. SMALL CHANGES LEAD TO BIG WEIGHT LOSS I was a story about Dan who had started a business, got married and had two children in a short amount of time. He had also moved (in case he needed more stress). With the birth of his children, Dan knew he had to make some changes. He cut down on carbs and sugary snacks. He looked and added food that was nutritional. He got used to being slightly hungry and if he needed a snack he made it a healthy won. He focused both on strength training and cardio. It took some time to lose the weight, but in the end, his health helps him handle the stress better. He was sleeping better. He did this without ALL OR NOTHING thinking, and just started heating healthy choices and exercising more. He lost 75 lbs and looks and feels much better. Keep in mind, it takes time to start reversing the years of abuse we have put into our bodies, but we can do it.

WEIGH-IN In the last episode, I was 235.7, and in this episode, I'm at 235.2. While I would appreciate a larger number, I am grateful to be going in the right direction. SAY YOUR MEALS OUTLOUD In the past, I've been in some weird health-related situations. When I said, "OK, I'm in my 50's, I have a tightness in my chest, and I'm having a hard time taking a deep breath" hear those words out loud inspired me to go to the hospital. When you hear yourself say, "I could drink some Huel right now and it will tie me over until dinner, or I can catch some hamburgers in the dive-thru, it can make your choices a little more easy to see (hear) which one is the better choice. You may hear it in your head, but hearing the words come out of your mouth can be more powerful and inspire you to make a better choice. HUEL? Huel is "Human Fuel." It's not just a protein drink, it is not "Diet Food" as they put it "It's Food-food." Indeed it is as one shake will come in at 400 calories. Huel can help you with weight management. But unlike diet shakes and simple protein powders, Huel is made with ingredients like oats, rice, peas, coconut and flaxseed. As in, real food. So you fuel your body with what it wants: a balanced macro-split featuring 27 essential vitamins and minerals. It sounds expensive. My first order was $72 (as you have to buy two bags). However, that is 34 servings which comes out to $1.94. I bought the vanilla and chocolate bags and I like both versions. Even though I mix it with water (not milk) it comes out pretty thick. I find them filling and tasty (not so tasty that you want second, but not something you have to force down). As it's getting hotter out, cooking inside can make life miserable (even with air conditioning) this can be a quick meal if you're on the go, an easy breakfast, and it comes with a pretty cool shaker that is easy to use, and easy to clean.

That's a bit nuts. I started watching ebay, and a friend of mine told me to watch Facebook Marketplace . I started checking Facebook Marketplace more and more (and liked the idea of searching for things in my neighborhood. Sure enough, I found someone near me selling a brand new Century 2 Model D for $400 off the price of a new one (even more if you tag on shipping, accessories). It was still very impressive. I knew what I was getting into. One video pointed out that, unlike another exercise where you can kind of multitask, you need to focus while rowing ( and it can be boring ). The manual said to start slow with 5-minute workouts (which I did) I eventually increased and tried this exercise video to start as a beginner. So far I'm happy, and I'm already feeling my upper body start to benefit. I'm going at a pace (slower than suggested or I'd kill myself - and that's fine).
