Observations from day 2 It’s October! We’re very excited! Everybody got a good night’s sleep. And there are turkeys! This morning there was full-on, Thanksgiving turkeys just walking around the parking lot checking out the cars (our included) like it was their job. If you ask me, I think that portends that it’s going to be a good week. Turkeys! 9:35 AM. We got to the Beverly station and found that the train’s going to be late. Like over an hour late. Hey, you know, life goes on. Everything will be fine. ...

After working at the County in the Justice Center I was flabbergasted to have an office in which we could open the windows and get fresh air. Little did I know that within a year that little perk was on a very short list at a job from hell.

Two friends that I hung out with last week texted me in the last few days to tell me that they’ve tested positive for COVID. I’ve taken two antigen tests since then and so far I’m in the clear.

It’s been a strange 5 years. I started this journey at 335 pounds in August 2018. I got as low as 210 pounds by December 2019 I then entered my “2nd Fat” and managed to get back up to 289 pounds in September 2022. These days I hover between 225 and 230 pounds. Low-carb, avoiding processed foods, walking and intermittent fasting. Sometimes all of those things and sometimes just one or two. Like any other addict… one day at a time.
