So, it's been seven days since I started this challenge. I've had a cleanse day and a Shabbat, a kettlebell class and lots of walking. Ups and downs. First of all, a report on numbers. My weight went down fractionally, just under a kilogram (about two pounds). Clearly still in the noise. My measurements (which … Continue reading 30 Day Challenge: Reflections on Week One

30 Day Challenge: The Empire Strikes Back
Well, it wouldn't be a story without some setbacks, would it? You would quickly get bored if all I did was sing the triumphs of my experiment here. This bag of peppermint tea was my absolutely best friend yesterday. I did survive the cleanse on Tuesday quite happily. I will admit, however, that as I … Continue reading 30 Day Challenge: The Empire Strikes Back
30 Day Challenge: 2 Shake Days In
So, I've had the first two days of my 30 day challenge. They were both shake days, meaning that I replaced two of my meals (breakfast and lunch) with shakes. For snacks and dinner, I had nuts, fish and veggies, just as I would have on the SCD diet. I jazzed up the bland shakes … Continue reading 30 Day Challenge: 2 Shake Days In
Starting a Thirty Day Challenge
OK, I'm not usually this brutally honest in my photographic appearances before you. But given how much better these products have been making me feel without any kind of system, I'm going to take on the 30 day challenge, and I had to provide some "before" pictures. This is where I'm starting from. Tomorrow is … Continue reading Starting a Thirty Day Challenge
It’s All About the Network
Network marketing is a curious creature. I got involved with it through listening to David Wood's podcasts, and there seem to be different views as to how it operates, or should operate. In particular, I listened recently to a conversation between David and Michael Clouse. I have to admit, this guy scared the pants off … Continue reading It’s All About the Network
Talking About Identity
Last June, my amazing friends Kaila Prins and Ito Aghayere interviewed me on their podcast, Finding Our Hunger. This was in the early days of the podcast, which has gone on to include luminaries such as Jimmy Moore, Liz Wolfe, Stefani Ruper, Dietitian Cassie, Abel James and others. Kaila and Ito have been guests hosts … Continue reading Talking About Identity
Six Weeks Until I Break the Streak
I've got a great streak going on 750words.com. As I've boasted previously, I'm really doing well there right now. I've written at least 750 words every day for the past 124 days. I'm not sure what changed, but somehow it has built itself into the fabric of my days. Even when I was so desperately … Continue reading Six Weeks Until I Break the Streak
The Power of UIHD
You've seen me going on about GOYA - Get Off Your A$$, and suchlike things. But now I've heard an even better acronym, one that is changing the way I do things within the various teams I work with. I bet it will change your ways, too. The acronym is UIHD - Unless I Hear … Continue reading The Power of UIHD
Good-bye Facebook, Hello Pinterest/Instagram/All That Stuff
First of all, if you aren't interested in BlackBox, you will be delighted to know that I have created a newsletter for it, and will no longer be putting blatantly BlackBox stuff on the blog itself (although I will be making pages on the website). I do, however, intend to explore the whole network marketing … Continue reading Good-bye Facebook, Hello Pinterest/Instagram/All That Stuff
Making the Newsletter, and also an eBook
Remember that I was planning to document the creation of an eBook? Well, that project has just got quite a bit more meta. As I create my BlackBox newsletter, I'm documenting the steps and I'm hoping to turn that process into an eBook. It might even be useful for somebody. I think I should clarify … Continue reading Making the Newsletter, and also an eBook
