    RAF053: The Story about my Back and What Comes Next

    I visit my doctor and get some information about what might be happening to my back and causing the arm pain that I have been experiencing. Heading out under the light of the moon on an early Saturday morning, I ponder moving forward with my health after the weight loss contest. I talk about my “cheat meal” and, with all the things going on with my body right now, decide not to run again for a while. The effect of 60 hours of fasting was an 8-pound loss, prior to the final “biggest loser” weigh-in. I gained it all back in one night. Much of the food and water in my system just wasn’t there. I probably lost a half-gallon of water in that time. I now begin the process of slowly increasing my caloric intake to rebuild my metabolism. Plenty to work on and a feverish pace to keep!

    Weight (change since Jan 2018): 214 (-60)
    Workout time: 33 Minutes
    Total Distance (total since Nov 2017): 1.56 Miles (72.21)
    Steps: 5353
    Goals: (1) Run 10.5 miles in one day by 11/18/18 (2) Lose 100lbs by 12/25/18

    Episode 8 part 2 - Walking Meditation

    This is a meditation exercise to do while walking, jogging or running. It encourages you to be mindful and appreciative of your body, and your surroundings, and to relish the transformation that exercise can bring. Make sure you do it in a safe environment - on a walking track away from traffic, as your attention will be split between my words and the environment, so best to stay away from busy places while you do it the first time, at least.
