Budgetman and His Sidekick, Mac!

I just finished up creating a supplemental spreadsheet to the family budget. Honestly, all of those hours I spent in accounting coursework both on the undergrad and graduate levels makes my fiddlings rather paltry. I spent the majority of my time in those classes drumming up the ways I could build a Mr. T Table to debit relieved hoorays to the besiedged towspeople and credit cackling laughter from the multi-toned-aviators-wearing villains that just came off the set of Dallas.

(Pity the fool: I was the Walter Mitty of accounting.)

The Upcoming Expedition

I gotta admit: I have been the most excited about a coming Expedition. I've got half the mind to make a countdown timer like I do for a new year.

33rd. It is remarkable. There have been 32 "six-week" stints that came before. Yes, totally got the air quotes with that for those 5-6 Expeditions that got lost. But, I always came back.

While I definitely highlight the weightloss these things pull off—it is a relatable construct—I am finding value to define them further as as agents of change. Workouts are all about the mind. The physical components are merely the meeples.

I look forward to unveiling what I have as my targets for The 33rd to catalyze. Coming this Monday!

The Competition.

And thus, a weigh-in follows. You'll recall my Competition: The Keto/Carnivore vs. HFC, how I am competitng against my 42-year-old, 2020 self. He was the one who started on keto and stumbled onto carnivore. At 44, my adoption of a high-fat carnivore diet seems to have given me a lead so far. That said, I have GOT to lose more than TWO lbs to not be tied after 210 days!

The suspense!

OK, so I may be more jazzed up with a slim hope that I can best The 17th: The Carnivore's weightloss of 14 lbs (5.9%), but it may be more realistic to expect something in the 4.5% to 5% range, or, 10 to 11.25 lbs. BUT, if I pull even that off, if I can continue the unmatched streak and earn a DOUBLE-DIGIT WEIGHTLOSS for the fifth Expedition in a row, well, BACON stays in my diet, proving once again, the superfood it is!

Shall I be lauded with Greek laurels atop my head or will I drop my head with street urchins' spittle rolling down my face? Stay tuned!
