As I was reading that, I was thinking to myself, "Perhaps our reality is hell." After all, look at all the nasty things that happen in this world. It certainly isn't heaven, by any stretch.

Bee, does where you work not have an internal system? Do you not use spreadsheets? Do you not use checklists? I am not sure why having something in the cloud, accessible from anywhere, that can act as a dashboard and your own system is not a good thing. Maybe you haven't used apps like Onenote...

I went for a swim this morning. I've heard it is supposed to be relaxing. So why is it I am going up and down the pool in a rage? There were about 4 people in there when I popped in. I found my spot and swam up and down. I was being overtaken by people who looked like they were training for the...

I'm now down to 13st 11.3lbs, from 14st 4lbs. It looks like I will reach my 13st target significantly earlier than anticipated. I've lost 1.6lbs per week for the last 2 weeks. I put that down to monitoring carefully with Loseit!, but also because upping my protein intake is making me feel...

Oh yes, I used to have SodaStream! The coke used to taste a bit weak and rubbish with it though. Yuk! You can't beat The Real Thing. Wait, I've been brainwashed!

After reviewing some of the tools I use for productivity, I came across a new and rather ingenious one: Notion. It is a little hard to describe, yet it is wonderfully flexible. This app has an unbounded future ahead of it. So, what exactly is it? Well, it is a workspace where you can add things...

Sounds like the 7 year itch. Inefficient. A woman likes to shop! It should have been £6m. A safe pair of hands... Could have been condensed into one page. Only kidding! :LOL: I often think nobody appreciates what you do at where you work. That is until you leave. The absence provides the...

This week, my average getting up time was 8:07am. That is an improvement on the previous weeks, which was 8:29am. Progress! Also, since trying to up my protein intake this week, I have noticed I am a) feeling much fuller, and b) eating significantly fewer calories. The protein seems to stuff me...

Good point Uncle, about the Coke. It is indeed like bottled water. Perhaps in future we will get a six pack of concentrate Coke sachets! Show me a critic of bottled water (for environmental reasons) and I will show you a hypocrite. Are they driving, or cycling to work? Probably the former. Do...

I remember listening to that answer about global warming. As you say, he makes some good points. But of course, it is very taboo to say anything against global warming without being called an immoral danger to the world.

:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: Uncle, that had me chuckling! For Bee's answer... Not so simple. How do you know if your attention is welcome or not? We are not mind-readers. You could be paying attention and the other person has a neutral look. Or not be good at interpreting facial expressions.

Monday's protein was 66.1g. But then I had the insight that I should go for 130g+ protein per day, as outlined in my earlier post. And after making diet modifications, my Tuesday protein intake was 121g. Progress! :D Another thing, is that last week when I did a swim, I had to keep track of the...

Doc, the overhyped projections discredit the organisations for anyone with a rational mind. It amounts to "spin". It is the politicisation of the science that leads to a cult-like evangelism. Apparently the Russian model was the most accurate, regarding projections. What I would like to know is...

Fantastic work Bee. What is more important than the amount of loss is the direction. Once you switch from gaining weight to losing weight, the psychological benefits are profound. It is a question of building up momentum. I know that it is hard not to make progress if you use an app like LoseIt...

Macro insight Had a great insight yesterday, as a result of using LoseIt!: check your Macros! This term was always a bit vague and opaque to me before, but essentially, it means checking your carbs/proteins/fat intake. LoseIt! gives all this nutritional breakdown in great detail: by food, by...

I've been to the Scientology HQ. A friend and I used to go on a Sunday sometimes years ago because everything used to be shut on a Sunday in the UK. The attraction was that they had a cafe. There is also that intrigue about the place because it is in a modern castle. They all seemed to stare a...

Update: - Packed my gym bag the night before. Check. - Put red bull on desk before going to bed. Check. - Put clothes out to wear the night before. Check. - Had early morning walk. Intention was 5 mins, but I ended up doing 28 mins in -1C (30.2F) temperature! Check. - Superfood shake then off...

Patriarchy is not an ideology. It is an evolved consequence of choices people made. It sounds like Hamlet is committed to his smooth shave.

A short film - Dedicated to all those who sacrifice everything to make the world safer and better for all of us.

If we follow the emasculation rhetoric of the radical feminists, we will never bag a woman. That is unless you want a cropped-haired dyke wearing hobnailed boots and a safety-pin through their nose. They think their five-o'clock shadow is de rigueur.
