🎉 Major Milestone: Over 200lbs lost!

Looking back on a wildly transformative year.

View on my personal blog or PeerTube

I am thrilled to report that I have finally hit a major milestone: having lost over two hundred pounds. It has been a long road, and I still have so much more territory to cover, but there’s a lot to celebrate here. I’m very happy to be much more mobile and capable. So many things that were out of reach not that long ago are things I’m doing regularly. Walking is no longer a chore and is something I do for fun!

I’ve come quite a long way since my first post. Even just since January, I’m down over 100lbs. What I’ve noticed the most is the fitness progress. I’m able to do so much more without being tired and various exercises are progressing well. It has been so exciting to learn to do so many new things and slowly make progress towards more ambitious goals. I’m still not able to complete a push-up, but my modified push-ups are getting better over time.

I’ve got a lot of work to do, but I’m constantly finding more and more to look forward to. Many of the anxieties and fears are beginning to gradually fade as I’m feeling more confident as a whole. There are still many difficult problems to tackle in the future, but I feel more equipped than ever to tackle them. Learning to regain control over myself has changed not only my weight, but also my outlook and approaches to problems.

Interesting finds

In the future I should probably bite the bullet and write full articles on stuff like this because I found that once I started w…

Rucking vs Running
I’m coming to the realization that I may need to rewrite one of the best articles I’ve written. Nearly a year and a half ago I wrote an article on rucking inspired by Michael Easter’s book The Comfort Crisis. I’m not the only one who has done this, if you look up rucking on YouTube you’ll find dozens of people who cite Easter’s book as they talk about t…

The Importance of Exercise and How to do it
I’ve been reading Dr. Peter Attia’s book Outlive: The Science & Art of Longevity and I plan on writing a full review of the book once I’ve finished it but I just got through the most important section of the book and I’ve realized that these three chapters deserve more attention than I can give them in a review of the full book and everyone needs a remi…
