Frogs and Noom

I've got to get out and cycle some.  Heading down to our community pool now school has started and before the little buggers get out for the day.  I'm trying to do some extra movement every day thanks to Noom.

The 30 or so pound basketball I carry in my waist has gotten to annoy me enough I'm going to do something about it.  Again.  Different focus this time.  I've proven over the years (thanks Nutrisystem and Meta-whatever and KETO and all the others that want me to generate my 'ketosis' or whatever it is) that I can not function without carbohydrates.  When I hit the chemistry they are wanting me on I feel ill and it does not go away until I have some carbs.  

So, Noom.  I've been looking at it for a while.  It is a sane approach and 90 pct positive and much more 'middle way' buddhist than any of the South Beach types.  I've basically committed to five months of it for about $170 or so.  My goal is pretty modest, about 15% of my body fat in six months.  And my reasoning is so that I can move better and to keep my cardiologist happy (not really... she's got to be responsible for her own happiness).  So far, so good.

It does mean that I have to get out and move more.  So off on the bike to the pool and maybe the fitness room for a bit.

No more reading news today

But one quote more:

From Mike Lindell's "Cyber Symposium" on my birthday.  

Unidentified Lindell henchmen on stage pointing to the useless computer data projected on the huge screens:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm not a computer guy, I don't know what most of this stuff means but I've been researching this election since November 3rd .... [ellipse here as my guess is he droned on some more before hitting with the pithy ending] but the CNN's of the world you guys need to start reporting this and stop fact checking it."  Cue audience applause.  

 Irony always seems to escape those who most should be listening.

Really, no more news today.  That is clearly the cherry on top.
