Do food choices matter? Day 12
When I was a freshman in High School I became a Lacto Ovo vegetarian. I cut out meat and fish but still consumed eggs and dairy. I'd grown increasingly interested in nutrition and how the different macronutrients impacted energy and overall health, and I felt this...
Are there fat loss shortcuts? (A rant): Day 10
Today's weight: 174.4 LB. I'm sharing this number every day because it holds me accountable and because I want to be transparent in how I approach the fat loss process. I only weigh in once a day; nude, first thing in the morning before eating or drinking anything and...
Track Everything: Day 9
In yesterday's post I discussed how your plan can sometimes fall apart, no matter how well you prepare. I found myself snacking on random things after we returned home from Hatcher Pass yesterday afternoon, and while nothing I ate was terrible, I didn't track macros....
When the plan falls apart: Day 8
I'm back from a whirlwind trip to a Hatcher Pass, Alaska. It's a beautiful area up in the mountains located about 60 miles north of Anchorage. This is one of our favorite areas to hike with our dogs because the views are incredible and the vibe is authentically...

You are in control: Day 5
Earlier in the week, I set a bodyweight goal of 176.0 LB by Saturday morning. I hit that goal today. Had I stayed the same weight as yesterday or gone up, I would have made an adjustment to my calories today. I've been at 1,800 calories a day for several weeks now....
Do what needs to be done: Day 4
I wasn't hungry this morning, which is a good sign. It means my brain is adjusting to this new routine and it will send me fewer signals to eat more food. The negative side-effects of a caloric deficit need to be ignored in order to be overridden and for progress to...
Why suffering is important: Day 3
I'm currently starving. Hunger is one of the most annoying fucking sensations I can think of. I woke up at 4:30am today, which is 30 minutes earlier than usual, and all that does is prolong the discomfort even more. My bodyweight was the same as yesterday's: 176.8...
