Graduated from Founder Institute (Sydney Autumn 2013)

I graduated on Tuesday night with 7 other graduates from Founder Institute.

A number of mentors were there at the Blue Chilli offices including our directors Ben and Tom and
Peter Cooper
Garry Visontay
Daniel Ringrose (aka Simon Baker)
Adam Benson
Sebastien Eckersley-Maslin
Ari Klinger

We also had the great interns Richard and Luke there jotting down all our pledges.

Yikes my memory isn't that good and now I can't remember who else was there that evening. It was also nice to see some of the grads from the previous semester there (Neil and Jeremy and I think Jake was there too).

But a huge congratulations to all my fellow graduates:
Alex with Insydr
Dave with SuperPick
Javier with Acento
Paul with Wine Badger
Sarah with Powerd8
Tom with Agile Weather
Vincent with CarProfilez
Yvonne (me!) with Oddswop

Ah a photo of the grads, directors, interns and mentors (phew I didn't forget anyone)

Fitness Passport membership locations on a map

My Fitness Passport membership is now live! Woohoo! So I get access to a heap of gyms and pools and classes. For someone who isn't interested in a gym membership I'm not quite sure why I have joined!! Peer pressure. I'm very fortunate that I have the opportunity to join this type of membership as then I can go just about anywhere in NSW. The membership site gives you a list of them but I had no idea how close they would be to either work or home so I copied and pasted the details into a Google Sheet and then put them in a Google Map. I thought it may be useful for others too. You can access the map by this link too: https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=10hH5PtKlBzeEzV6AoLev4vxqNoDxzR6y&hl=en&usp=sharing

A fresh start in a new town in a new year - hello 2022!

It's difficult to reflect on 2022 when 2021 ended on such a mixed way. With the plandemic it seems that a government job isn't very secure if you want to care about your health more than a living. The Monday before Xmas break I was "stood down" as I supposedly am unwilling to work. Nothing seems to make any sense. Here's an excerpt of the letter So I'm on forced leave till 7 February. I don't have much in the way of leave and as a fixed term contractor I don't have any long service leave. At this stage based on my No Regrets policy I'm still OK with my decision. I do not actually understand how this can be legal but unfortunately I am no lawyer. The other bad news at the end of 2021 was the passing of Auntie Ivy. May she rest in peace. I was very saddened about the event but also somewhat mollified that she died doing something she loved. She loved abseiling and died from "falling" in an accident - the article - https://7news.com.au/new...

The Croissant Diet Experience with a CGM - Sept 2020

I've been on the bandwagon of The Croissant Diet (TCD) for a little while. Maybe 6 weeks or so. And I thought I should document things a bit. There was a great summary by Brad Marshall on Twitter on what The Croissant Diet actually is: Eat LOTS of long chain Saturated Fat and avoid PUFA like the plague. Also avoid MUFA. If you want to eat some starch, go for it! But smother them in SatFat. That’s the whole thing, really. — FireInABottle (@fire_bottle) September 21, 2020 What I'm eating: Meat - beef or lamb mostly as this is low in PUFAs and high in stearic acid. Fats for cooking - tallow or butter. Enhanced with stearic acid. Eggs - cos they are a great whole food. Usually cooked in tallow or butter (enhanced with stearic acid if I remember). Butter Cream for tea Coffee - usually black Low carb "carbs" -- Atkins crispbread and Woolworths Macro bread. These have vegetable oils so not great but I try and overwhelm it with lots of butter. But ge...
