It’s Up to You: Finding Your Spark to Get Started

Show Notes

Logical Weight Loss After 60

I’m back after a two-year break to share where I am with my health and weight-loss journey. At 61, I’m thinking more seriously about aging, staying active, and why it feels important to start now rather than wait for the perfect moment.

Finding Exercise Motivation That Lasts

I talk about getting started with exercise again—and the challenge of sticking with it when a routine gets boring. I’ve been using different workout options at home, setting up a TV in the basement, and putting exercise on my calendar so I treat it like an appointment.

Home Workouts, Rowing, and Trusting the Process

I started with the rowing machine and share how I worked up from shorter sessions to a 20-minute workout. I also talk about weight fluctuations and why I’m trying to stay consistent instead of getting discouraged by a plateau.

Late-Night Snacking and Food Tracking

Late-night snacking is one of my biggest challenges. I reflect on what I learned from fasting before blood work, why calorie-dense snacks can add up, and how I use Cronometer to track my food and weight.

Cooking at Home and Keeping Going

I discuss planning ahead, cooking more often, and relying less on fast food. I also share a recent 17-day stretch without ice cream and the reminder I’m giving myself: progress doesn’t require perfection, but it does require continuing.

Weight Check in

230 Lbs (down 3 lbs from last episode)

This episode describes my personal experience and isn’t medical advice. I encourage listeners to talk with their healthcare professionals about their own health and exercise plans.
