Intervals Fdip388 Preview
First, it's a very personal episode. Mayhap too personal. I've been spending alot more of my time in the present lately...actually, I've been doing that for awhile now. It's not that I didn't care about my past or the way my actions have shaped me...but, you get it, right? Why dawdle in the past...

Recorded on January 18th, 2009: Go with me for a run in the back country roads of New England, during a snow storm that is actually quite beautiful. Wearing my "Yak-Tracks" to prevent slipping, I really enjoyed this run as the snow fell.

-
Fdip383 - Ankle of Despair
The universe, of which I am a part, is experiencing entropy. Change is coming, and I'm committed to eventually lacing up my shoes and running again. Because although I'll one day become nothing more than an unstable collection of positronium atoms that will eventually poof out of existence…that…

Fdip382: il Mio Dolce Dolce
I'm long past the impulsive need for an invisible flying spaghetti monster in space called to answer my wishful mutterings - the palindrome for that imaginary entity might just be something I do require: I don't need "God". I need a Dog.

Intervals - My Sweetie
Dear Eva: You were my sweetie. You took after your Lemon beagle birth mother, Honey. Your father was a tri-colored beagle named Joey (also your brother Indiana Jone's father). Born on May 28th, 2010: you were the scrawniest of the litter of seven. I first saw you in a cage where your brothers and...

-
Fdip381: Something from Nothing
Everything you see, every atom and sub-atomic particle of which your own body is composed: came, originally, from nothing.
-
Fdip380: Things That Make You Go Hmmm
You cannot lose weight without dieting or exercising. 1. Why? Because we are ugly bags of mostly water and store excess calories that we eat as fat.\ 2. Why? Because our bodies resting metabolic rate is finite and our capacity to eat high caloric food is less so. 3. Why? Because regulation in the...
-
Fdip379: Always Burning
The older we get, the lower our resting metabolic rate is, but we can counter that effect by maintaining or increasing our muscle mass. Now, if only there was a way we could do that through something like…oh, I don't know, I'll just through this out there in an unnecessarily snarky way…but first...
-
Fdip378: Burning Down the House
My house Is out of the ordinary That's right Don't wannna hurt nobody Some things sure can sweep me off my feet Burning down the house
-
Fdip377: Brain Be Slow
It seems intuitive that IF we slow down, focus and consider everything that goes into the act of consumption, we can have a better experience with food which will, through biological mechanisms we shall discuss today, help us to lose weight. Today we talk about the SCIENCE that backs up the...
-
Fdip376: Mindful Eating
In Burning 60, I've spent a lot of time talking about how much and when I've been eating, consuming less than 1,500 calories per day during an 8-hour window. But I haven't considered HOW I eat, or the benefits of doing so mindfully. It seems intuitive that if we slow down, focus, and consider...
-
Fdip375: Flu Like Symptoms
"Good food and good eating are about risk. Every once in a while an oyster, for instance, will make you sick to your stomach. Does this mean you should stop eating oysters? No way."― Anthony Bourdain
-
Fdip374: The Selfish Calorie
Our bodies have to work to eliminate alcohol from our bodies as quickly as possible, and it doesn't help us build strong muscles or support healthy bones. One might say (and many do) that alcohol is filled with "selfish calories"…because it forces our bodies to ignore life-sustaining nutrients so...
-
Fdip373: Putting Yourself Out There
As a goofy little podcaster who has brought you with me through many long runs, road races and marathons, I have been less than proud to admit to you that I weigh 76 in excess of 174 pounds (the weight I should weigh for a healthy body mass index). Although sharing the truth of my progress in...
-
Fdip372: Requiring Air
If there's one thing I know about health and the wonders of metabolism it is that we need air to live just as fire needs air to burn. And when you have nothing left to burn you have to set yourself on fire.
-
Fdip371: Room to Improve
One day we'll come to realize that our effort at becoming healthy doesn't end when we finally burn 60 or, to paraphrase the thoughts of a well-loved traveler: "There will be no moment of smug clarity as we realize how small we are, how little we know, and how far we have to go".
-
Fdip370: The Lessons of Pain
Pain is a signal that something is wrong with your body…and yes, I know, I've run 22 marathons, I've experienced lactic acid buildup in my muscles and savored the joy of THAT feeling…and I'm sure there are some who enjoy a bit of pain for more discrete reasons…but those are rare exceptions to the...
-
Fdip369: That Feeling
"That Feeling" is something that I would best describe as "satisfaction, relief, accomplishment and release"…it's that feeling you get the moment you stop running at that moment when the running stops. It doesn't last very long, that feeling…but it's noticeable and enjoyable.
-
Fdip368: Routine
One day in a life is an opportunity to embrace a routine to improve the quality of your experience in the universe.
-
Fdip367 - Faster with Fasting
Carl Sagan once said that "Extraordinary Claims require Extraordinary Evidence". That's probably true even for ordinary claims, such as not eating food will lead to weight loss. It may be that by tracking my food intake, keeping my daily caloric consumption down around to about 1,500 a day and...
-
Fdip366: Plethoric Caloric
We are always burning, it's what we do…and we have to do more than just accept that, we have to embrace it, we have to lean into it hard. Because one day, all that that burning we do will come to an end and the metabolic processes we hold so dear will cease to function. When that happens, and I...
-
Fdip365: The Hackers Diet
"The human capacity to ignore inconvenient facts and avoid unpleasantness is immense. Success in any endeavor requires coming to terms with the true nature of the task at hand and, if the goal is worth the effort, getting on with it." John Walker, the Hackers Diet
-
Fdip364: Keep Banging on your drum
Burning 60 isn't magic…it's science. It's applying well-documented and understood practices to a problem and observing the results. Burning 60 isn't difficult, it just takes a willingness to follow the rules dictated by the well-documented and understood practice of science. All I'm doing is...
-
Fdip363 - Fire up the Data
In systems theory, I learned that "Input is something put into a system or expended in its operation to achieve an output or result." Here are the data inputs that I am using to achieve the results I am looking to achieve.
-
Fdip362 - The Burning 60 Plan
I'm going to try something different here…at least something different for me. I'm going to use both science and psychology to achieve an important goal of mine and I'm going to bring you along for the run.

Fdip360: It's Not Supposed to be Easy
Right now, I'm just some guy from Boston, and that's okay...but when next we meet I'll be bringing an old friend...someone you well know whose name no longer defines him, but celebrates the short yet reasonably long duration of our existence. Life is short, but it should be long enough. I am…

My Fat Puppy
Indiana Jones Walker was my best friend. A lemon beagle born on March 28th, 2009 in Swansea MA to Joey and Willow, Indy lived a great life and was deeply loved by his family: Lynn, Eva and Steve. Indy enjoyed meatballs, sniffing for bunnies, playing "Chase-me Chasey" and "The Grrrr Game", going…
