Raw Vegan Week 6

Saturday, October 25th, 2008

I’ve been fighting a bug for a few days and lost my voice last night, so this is a little gravely sounding.

My diet is going well and I am working out A LOT. Still doing about two hours of bagua a day plus lifting weights with Steve. I’ve been tracking my net calorie expenditure with Fit.

Raw Vegan Week 5

Saturday, October 18th, 2008

Week 5 on raw food only: 16+ pounds of fat lost, 6 pounds of muscle gained.

I started attending bagua classes again! Great to be back!

Very special thanks to my friends Mike Lee and Joe Heck for providing the inspiration for the current set of Aria Touch updates. You guys rock.

If you haven’t checked out Mike’s new company/industrial & environmental revolution, United Lemur, you definitely should.

Edit: I just watched the Raw Vegan Week 1 video again. Okay, I am definitely losing weight. Ouch.

Raw Vegan, Week 4

Saturday, October 11th, 2008

Latest diet update, plus some bagua talk. Some thoughts on getting things through the app store and a little bit about Aria Touch and Fit.

Here’s a picture of my teacher, Andy Dale, doing dragon dives into the sea, around 1987.

Week 3, part two, with rats in

Sunday, October 5th, 2008

Answers to some questions from my friends about my diet, plus the Large Rodent Incident story. Yes, I know that the avocado dish I described is technically known as ‘guacamole’. Also, I have two cups of black coffee a day. Come on, I *do* live in Seattle, after all!

I think that I forgot to mention that I use Tea Timer to make sure that I drink a glass of water every hour while I’m at work.

If you’re interested in doing the 100 pushup challenge you can find out more about it here. Steve and I are about to start the ‘aggressive’ set (the right hand column) of Week 4

According to this body mass calculator I have lost about 11 pounds of fat in the last three weeks and gained a little over 3 pounds of muscle.
