It Can Be Done (Weight Loss) & Without Using Drugs. Achieving lasting weight/visceral fat without GLP-1 Agonists that is. Like most stand-up comedy I come with some good (but painful) news and some bad (but very sweet and easy) news so here goes with the TLDR first and then in a bit more detail....

Supremely Selfish/ A Short Thread About Stuff.

My ‘Maybe’ build a boat plan that is. In my previous post of this very short thread I left the question of whether I would or whether I wouldn’t build another boat, completely open as I hadn’t made my mind up either way. If you like your posts really short then firstly ; don’t come here, and secondly my answer is only a few short lines away and, in the same way that I don’t value the final…

The Not So Great Sell Off.

One of my shorter lived grand ideas recently was to start work on building a John Welsford designed SCAMP cruising dinghy. I went as far as ordering a set of plans and was working on also obtaining a CNC cutting file and finding a company that would cut and supply the parts as a kit. The kit was going to be expensive because good plywood is now eye wateringly expensive so I thought to raise some…

Qui Bono ?

Who Benefits : or Who Benefited ? Note to readers : in February this year I almost packed up and abandoned the whole blog and website. I had even written and scheduled the post that explained why I was doing that. As it is I left my goodbye note scheduled and edited but kept moving the schedule date back and back again. All the time I was editing what i’d written and even after a few months of…

Training My Posterior.

If you’re wondering, i’m talking about training my posterior chain – not my bum ! Third cycle changes : time to add an exercise – for the TLDR that’s in the form of Deadlifts. With reference to the blog thread covering my major push towards health and physical function i’m well into my second cycle of dietary and exercise changes ; as I hoped iv’e mostly settled in, as a habit. to the changes I…

Project Teapot (SCAMP)......But Only Maybe.

And that’s a kinda/Sorta maybe kind of maybe anyway. So yeah : i’m thinking about building another boat although only kinda/sorta thinking about it although I came close to ordering the plans last week only the boat’s designer doesn’t seem to be answering his Emails this week. The designer is of course John Welsford and the boat in mind is what he even said was his best design : SCAMP of course.…

What Dreams May Come.

It’s Time to Address the Elephant in the Room : The Elephant of Poor Sleep That Is. One of my potential failure modes, and the one that iv’e never addressed, is my chronically poor sleep which has been caused in part by years of internal rotation shifts and the simpler reason of me drinking far too much coffee and way too late. When my partner (Jackie) developed PMR (Polymyalga Rheumatica) a…

Das Nieue Arbeit : Cycle Two Sorts Itself Out.

Excuse me if my German grammar is poor but what I meant is ‘the new deal – cycle two’. Last week, as I write, I slipped past the end point of my self appointed first cycle of dietary change and enhanced exercise although in fact i’d already consciously started my second cycle in week 11 having done an interim weight at the end of week 10. According to at least one doctor i’m now at the point…

How Can We Have Been So Wrong & Yet So Sure That We Were Right?

Correct me if i’m wrong but isn’t the definition of the Dunning-Kruger effect is the person or persons* that has overbearingly high self assurance and confidence and yet zero competence, knowledge and self awareness. Today that is my very definition of how most people acted during the Covid 19 Pandemic, the media and social media hysteria that followed and especially the actions of those that…

My Big Fat Checklist.

This morning, when I went out for my first walk of the day, it was pretty quiet on the road so I did what I usually do which is to use that time to pace out the first few paragraphs of a post and it’s working title. This post was originally just going to run under the single letter title R. : the R standing for the R in SMART which I always read as Realistic which I also always thought of as…

(Not) Making Movies.....Again

My latest attempt at creating video content and not a boat in sight this time around. I have been mulling this over for a couple of months so if there’s a video embedded with this post then it should be the first one in a new series that iv’e filmed and created. This time my central idea is to base a video series on the crafting and modeling projects that i’m doing. Those of you that have been…

Cycle Two :Failure Modes & Mixed Signals.

At week twelve (technically it’s week 13) it seems that I might be at a critical point in my diet/exercise/metabolic health grand project and according to some it’s the point where many diets or enthusiasm for exercise tend to fail. Last week I had a bad one this week I admit and at the end of my long walk I was so beat up that I spent several hours on the sofa just drinking coffee and warming…

Life Is What You Make It.

According to professional model maker Adam Savage that is : he also says that Every Tool’s A Hammer which must mean that when i’m beating my head against a wall it must also count as a hammer – or maybe it means that i’m a bit of a tool. Adam Savage also says that we don’t need to have in mind every step of what we are doing or the thing that we are making : all we need to know is what the next…

The Narrative of the Model.

What story or stories are our models telling us : equally, what stories are we telling with our creations ? It’s my belief that a three dimensional model of any object or diorama, should tell a story that is both cohesive, believable and historically accurate. Right now i’m working on the centerpiece building for my model railway layout cum diorama based on a Cornish metals mine : I say metals…

What Measurement,or Metric, And How Often ?

What measurements or metrics should we take and record ? which ones can we do ourselves – and interpret what’s happening and which ones should we request from a helpful doctor ? When I first wrote the post about formulating a S.M.A.R,T, plan I trust that I kept the M (Measurement) as simple as I could make it with the inevitable result that I was measuring the wrong thing right from the start…

Taking theThe Next Step & Creating First Order Retrievability.

My second post covering the indoor modeling workstation. In my previous post about this project I detailed my three attempts to set up an indoor workbench that I could use for my various modeling projects and not be permanently in the way as my one time sewing table used to be : that table is now out in the real workshop which isn’t finished yet. the picnic table that I bought as a replacement…
