Fat Loss Challenge – Day 23

Jan 24, 2020 ·

Chia seed pudding, blueberries, 1 scoop protein powder - with Prednisone

Sciatica survival mode. Started using an electric heating pad today on my lower back, which seems to somehow reduce the pain levels significantly. With a long enough extension cord I could go anywhere! Sleep 7h 14m Morning weigh-in 181.8 (sciatica seems to have slowed bowels down to a crawl) Day 1 morning …

This is my MRI from three years ago. If the current pain is any indication, and I'm sure it is, then this is what I'm looking like now as well. The disc between L5 and S1 is protruding to the right, pressing hard on the spinal cord. Yeah, it hurts.

Fat Loss Challenge – Day 20

Jan 21, 2020 ·

3-egg spinach mushroom ground beef omelet, tomato, avocado

Recovery day. I definitely woke up a sleeping dragon yesterday at Barefoot and while swimming, a dragon named "Sciatica." I need to somehow calm that beast down and send him back into hibernation. Might take a while though. Pain is once again a constant companion. Sleep 8h 14m (Though sciatic pain woke me up every time I …

Fat Loss Challenge – Day 17

Jan 18, 2020 ·

3-egg spinach mushroom omelet, homemade pesto, tomato, avocado, coffee with 1/2 scoop collagen

When I won the fat loss challenge two years ago in 2018, by this point of the challenge I was already down 10 or 11 pounds. I'm definitely not on the same pace as back then, but I'm in a far better mood, and my 31 inch jeans are feeling looser in the waist so this seems to be working. I do think I might be adding some …

Salmon (cold!), broccoli, sweet potatoes. This is about as close to food perfection as we can hope to reach in this life. :)

Monday's fatigue is gone. Not sure what happened that day. Feeling good and pretty strong today. First nine 100s in the pool were about as consistently strong and fast as I've ever swum for that duration. Sleep 7h 55m Morning weigh-in 176.8 Day 1 morning weigh-in: 182 Yesterday's weigh-in: …
