The Decision To Build A Healthy Me

EthanFlatten September 11, 2018 2 Comments

The Decision To Build A Healthy Me In late 2016 I was re-evaluating what I wanted out of life.  Not only was I looking at where I wanted to go professionally, but personally.  The previous sentence is so few words but the ramifications of that single sentiment are almost inexplicable in anything short of a…

What is The Unplowed Road?

EthanFlatten September 10, 2018 4 Comments

It’s a blog of sorts.  No, it’s not one of those things where someone whines incessantly about every little imperfect nuance in their life.  It’s quite the opposite.  It’s a place where I celebrate imperfection and the act of trailblazing our own way to whatever we define as success.  This blog is intended to be…

EthanFlatten September 8, 2018 2 Comments

This most recent week had a nice start on Saturday when I traveled to Breezy Point for my nephew DJ’s wedding. It was a really wonderful event. And I had an awesome cupcake covered in delicious sugary frosting. My sweet tooth was very happy! Other than the brief detour from my diet, I think it…

8/17/18 – 8/23/18 Ever since going through a prolonged plateau in early 2018, I am constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop when losing weight. The last few weeks have been pretty good – and I have to admit I am very pleased by them. But the skeptic in me keeps saying “ok…well this…

Cooking with a Kukri – a category

EthanFlatten September 5, 2018 0 Comments

Cooking with a Kukri is a section of my blog dedicated to healthy cooking.  One of the biggest hurdles to being successful in the pursuit of better health is being able to make a healthy meal.  Most often I hear the following things about cooking healthy meals: “I don’t know what to make, I just…

My Fat Brain – a category

EthanFlatten September 5, 2018 0 Comments

This section of my blog is all about struggles and hurdles.  It’s about how we see ourselves and the impact it has on us and others.  It deals with the mental roadblocks we run up against and the frustration of a system that actively penalizes obese people for being obese.  My friend Fred and I…

Weekly Digest #4 8/10/18 – 8/16/18

EthanFlatten August 19, 2018 0 Comments

I have to admit I was a bit apprehensive going in to this week. With such a big week last week, I was certain my body would want to stabilize and resist any more weight loss this week.  I was fully prepared to look at that scale and see no changes – or even a…

This week was a bit frustrating.  I worked hard and saw no positive results.  That said, I also saw no negative results.  Just no change across the board. So I remain at 165 pounds lost. Considering how hard I worked physically, it comes as a bit of a surprise. But wen I examine my intake for…

Well this week was another exercise in frustration.  I worked hard all week, played hard on the weekend and actually saw a gain of 1 pound this week bringing the grand total to 165 pounds lost.  You know, when I look back at the whole week it is hard to fathom how that can be,…
