Who doesn’t spend 10 minutes on Zillow every Saturday morning wondering, “What if I lived an entirely different life?”

Season 2 finale of Silo: chef’s kiss.

My last DEXA scan was almost exactly three years ago. I was near a low weight for my adult life, but I was still pretty concerned. Most especially with my “visceral fat”— this is the dangerous stuff in your liver, pancreas, etc. This is the stuff you really don’t want, especially with a family history of major heart attacks and death in your 60s.

The benchmark is sub 1lbs, and I was around 5 lbs.

Today, after gaining a bunch of weight and losing it again (this time with some help), I did a new scan. Did I lose weight healthier this time? Do the drugs people are chastising do something less healthy than rigorous calorie counting?

My visceral fat came in at 1.46lbs. I’m still not healthy. My body fat remains too high and that visceral fat is not where it should be. But I’ll take every bit of help, along with the hard work at the gym, I can get. At least the long arc is bending toward avoiding an early death the best I can.

Great practice after our first show. Started with a solid jam, then ran the set fresh after we talked about what went well and what we wanted to adjust from watching videos. It was awesome to sound way better than last weekend with each of us making some tweaks based on feedback.

Pretty happy to get a Billy Strings Wombtone and Expression Roller. I already have a killer phaser, but I also know how to use a phaser. Now I have to watch videos and read the manual to figure it all out.
