FatMan Journal for Week # 7, Sunday, September 15, 2024: Getting the Boulder Rolling: Learning to Move

Tuesday, September 17, 2024 at 12:45 AM

Hey Friends and Conspirators, here’s this weeks update for the Fatman Journal, (anybody got a better name? I’m wide open here). Still kicking ass in the weight loss department. Finishing the seventh week and the bathroom scale this morning said 336 – down 41 pounds from the day i started on the needle. And now the deep dark secret. I haven’t really quite been working the other half of the program. It’s hard for me to put ‘my steps’ top of mind. I roll out of bed, hit the computer, work for 8 or 9, then switch off and hang out here, sitting in the same chair, for the next 4 or 5. So, if I can’t get to the excercise, I’ll bring the exercise to me. I snagged one of these on Amazon to keep under the desk. I still need to sort out the desk height/chair distance thing, but It works ok. But again, top of mind is the issue – I’m so entrenched in being ‘neckup’, I never think about sticking my feet in the stirrups. What do you think, just set a regular desktop alarm that says “PEDDLE, DAMMIT!”?

Share it! (Please).
