Parkinson’s Law - Rick in 2021

Rick's Parkinson’s Law - Again

November 2021

I maintain a daily diary. I try to list my activities, focusing on my accomplishments. I close it out each weekend and take the time to reflect on what I actually did. Over time I grouped them into major categories.

I first wrote about Parkinson’s Law in 2015 with an article titled “My Person Bane.” In my article I shared…  

Weight Loss - OMAD and Calorie Restriction

Weight Loss:

One Meal A Day?

Calorie Restriction?

I continue to read articles and watch videos about losing weight, and I want to share what I've been learning recently!

Purely Personal:

Weight Loss

2021

I have lost almost 100 pounds from my highest weight over the last decade, and I want to take a moment to brag!

Apparently, the weight loss is most apparent in my face. What do you think?

Naval Maneuver - "Same old same old"

 

Contemplating My

Belly Button

It's been a while since I've written anything for this blog.

Busy...

I lead an active life, but it has become pretty routine from day-to-day. I do mostly the same thing!

The Cambridge Dictionary offers an interesting definition for Same Old Same Old: "(informal) it's used to say that a situation or someone's behavior remains the same, especially when it is boring or annoying."

"Follow by Email" ends July 2021

 

On the sidebar to the right was an innocuous box that invited you to submit your email address.

When you did that, you received notifications delivered to that address when a new article had been posted to this blog!

That feature has ended.

Weight Loss: Rich in Calories

Fasting Weight Loss

Rich in Calories

The general consensus is that one pound of body fat = 3,500 calories. 

A man who weighs 250 lbs is 75 lbs over the recommended weight for someone 6 feet tall.

He "owns" over a quarter million calories in his "fat account" (75 times 3,500 = 262,500).

He should be consuming 2,500 calories per day. Based on that, he should have 105 days of calories if he doesn't eat a bite of food during that time...

He's Rich!

Parkinson’s Law Redux: December 2020 and COVID-19

Parkinson’s Law Redux

December 2020 and

Parkinson’s Law states “Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.”

I discovered Parkinson’s Law in 2015, when I wrote an article “My Person Bane” where…  

Covid-19 and Depression

Covid-19

Depression?

Kudos to Sarah Chrisp for her YouTube Video "My Struggle With Depression, Anxiety & Burnout" 

I enjoy her videos because she gives tips about developing an online business - and her own success gives credence to her advice. She has a YouTube channel. Her youthful enthusiasm is contagious, which is why I was so surprised at that one video.

She gave a few signs in her life that "something" wasn't right. She said she no longer enjoyed video games, TV, or more than a few pages of a book.

That sounded like something that is occurring in my life...
