You’re riding shotgun with Dave. Sit comfortably and enjoy the ride in his 2008 KIA Rio LX. You’re pretty safe here… for the most part. We do a mileage report as the Kia also known as a porta poddy crosses 324,910 miles. Woo hoo. It’s 38° and absolutely sunny during the drive as we’re southbound along the Hudson River and parallel to the Amtrak railroad tracks as it passes me by. Pretty impressive. After a brief explanation that no one cares about, Dave gets to his weigh in. He’s been eating strictly Carnivore since Mid-October of 2023. He started at 297lbs and is now down to 253.6. That’s almost 44lbs. Woo hoo. But as a pragmatic we know it’s not about the numbers. Dave looks at total fitness a different way. Dave uses the measure of activity to measure FITness. The more active you are chances are you’re healthier and more fit. Dave also discusses his feelings on different disciplines. He discusses opportunities for growth. He discusses his Boxing training. Are kids today mastering disciplines? If not what does that mean for the future? Does discipline offer hope? We read listeners comments. We previously discussed what we’ve quit. Next episode we hope to discuss what we want to learn, to master or to experience growth with. Dave mentions how he would like to live the next 30 years like he should have lived his first 30 years.

In this episode amongst many things Dave tries to podcast while on the edge of exhaustion. The show starts off quiet and gets a little loud 30 seconds in when Dave starts talking. At least you can hear him over the noise of the Kia on the NY Thruway. He initiates a conversation about doing the mileage report but he never gets to it. Already he’s way too exhausted but he pushes through. Maybe there will be a mileage report next episode. Do you use the word ilk often? Dave doesn’t.

What sucks your energy down? Is it a who? Is there a why? Mine are obstacles. I’ll overcome many of them, but the immovable ones drain me to zero. Then they linger around like an evil spirit in my brain, causing all sorts of problems. Problems that affect my mental and emotional well being. Problems that affect my productivity in life and keep me from moving forward. I’m aware if it. I’m embracing it and dealing with it. I’m not taking medication for it. I’m acknowledging it. Be aware when it happens and take it one step at a time. I can do better. I’ll do better. I won’t stop trying. I’m already better. Thank you for reading this and listening to this episode.
