Another Expedition has come to a close; a new Expedition begins. Hello The 15th Expedition: may you exceed in value above all prior Expeditions!

How did The 14th Expedition fare?

I lost 12 lbs!

Of course, both of these Expeditions were in a context without regular (mostly none) of daily workouts. While I had planned a reduction of fat grams, I was surprised that they actually went up. The elevated total carbs are due to an experiment with flaxseed and broccoli, though I don't buy that net carbs cancel out total carbs—there's a diminished relationship there, though who's to say what happens exactly? So, I dialed back my flax seed consumption from 5 tbsp highs.

Emotionally, I cannot say I'm stoked with a 2 lb per week average, though that's the prevailing advice of healthy weightloss. Clearly without working out and literally eating pork, eggs, butter and cheese everyday, weightloss comes easy.

But, I like popping the BIG NUMBERS!

Thus, 2 lbs /week is the baseline, what I lose by doing nothing other than...well, I can't even say I hit my gram goals, though I'm happy with the macros.

Beyond the scale, what did The 14th bring me?

While The 13th Expedition introduced innovation, The 14th reviewed everything under a critical eye.

I like the rollout of Software Standards. In like fashion, I'm re-examining my media consumption, specifically podcasts and books. I recognized I've handled that area of my life as an All-You-Can-Eat buffet, as I'm now adopting an All-You-CARE-to Eat approach.

For the 15th, I'm pouring on a big ol' serving of workouts on to plate! I've never outperformed a consecutive Expedition before, and it's time for that! More about that in the future...
