Very satisfying to watch that snow getting sliced with the shovel and tidied away. What a workout!!!

Very glad you've enjoyed it! A day later and I still can't believe it.

Doing my best to rest, cause there's a lot more snow coming!

Wishing you well!

I can feel the energy in your voice through the printed word, Gabe. My plumber just asked me the secret to my energy and I said that I thought it was a regenerative resource--the more you use, the more you have. You're proving my theory right.

When I watched the video, I don’t think I really took in how much harder that would be for someone carrying around extra weight until I read your words and it really hit me- shoveling snow tires me out even if the only extra weight I’m carrying is my winter gear. But when you put it in perspective that six months ago you were struggling to get up from the ground, this improvement is downright astonishing.

I’m so glad you decided to share your journey here, Gabriel! If, once you achieve your goal, you were interested in putting all your videos and writing and sound bites from podcasts and audio together in a mini documentary about your journey and could use a collaborator, hit me up. 🤙

That was phenomenal!

(Snowplow comes by five minutes later...).

Maybe you can try curling - be the guy with the little broom sliding along.

If I don't fall over!

Curling always looked cool though! 🥌

I have no idea why I found your video so riveting! It might have been because previously I had been scrolling past umpteen really boring posts! Anyway, you made a great job of that drive and congratulations on losing some weight! xx
