Show Notes

Logical Weight Loss After 60

I’m back after a two-year break to share where I am with my health and weight-loss journey. At 61, I’m thinking more seriously about aging, staying active, and why it feels important to start now rather than wait for the perfect moment.

Finding Exercise Motivation That Lasts

I talk about getting started with exercise again—and the challenge of sticking with it when a routine gets boring. I’ve been using different workout options at home, setting up a TV in the basement, and putting exercise on my calendar so I treat it like an appointment.

Home Workouts, Rowing, and Trusting the Process

I started with the rowing machine and share how I worked up from shorter sessions to a 20-minute workout. I also talk about weight fluctuations and why I’m trying to stay consistent instead of getting discouraged by a plateau.

Late-Night Snacking and Food Tracking

Late-night snacking is one of my biggest challenges. I reflect on what I learned from fasting before blood work, why calorie-dense snacks can add up, and how I use Cronometer to track my food and weight.

Cooking at Home and Keeping Going

I discuss planning ahead, cooking more often, and relying less on fast food. I also share a recent 17-day stretch without ice cream and the reminder I’m giving myself: progress doesn’t require perfection, but it does require continuing.

Weight Check in

230 Lbs (down 3 lbs from last episode)

This episode describes my personal experience and isn’t medical advice. I encourage listeners to talk with their healthcare professionals about their own health and exercise plans.

00:00.675 --> 00:02.216
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, I was in the neighborhood.

00:02.697 --> 00:05.179
[SPEAKER_00]: Thought I would stop in, say hello.

00:05.440 --> 00:08.623
[SPEAKER_00]: Let you know what I've been up to, and bring some new theme music.

00:08.643 --> 00:09.904
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you know, sucks.

00:10.344 --> 00:10.965
[SPEAKER_01]: Get me some.

00:11.005 --> 00:11.686
[SPEAKER_01]: Get me some.

00:12.086 --> 00:13.087
[SPEAKER_00]: Who doubted?

00:13.187 --> 00:16.090
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm so tired of being fat.

00:16.330 --> 00:16.790
[SPEAKER_00]: So sit tight.

00:16.871 --> 00:19.113
[SPEAKER_01]: It's time to get my hair right.

00:19.253 --> 00:19.733
[SPEAKER_00]: And right.

00:20.694 --> 00:23.157
[SPEAKER_01]: It's time to get my body going right.

00:23.237 --> 00:24.538
[SPEAKER_00]: Good one right.

00:33.577 --> 00:35.698
[SPEAKER_01]: And we're talking logical weight loss.

00:36.238 --> 00:37.279
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, baby.

00:38.719 --> 00:42.001
[SPEAKER_00]: Nice to connect with you again.

00:42.841 --> 00:45.783
[SPEAKER_00]: The website logical loss.com.

00:46.663 --> 00:49.264
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're new to the show, I'm Dave Jackson.

00:49.284 --> 00:52.466
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to make a big deal about the fact that I've been gone two years.

00:52.486 --> 01:00.810
[SPEAKER_00]: Because if you just discovered the show, you'll see that the last episode was called Fast Food Apps, the sneaky way.

01:01.550 --> 01:05.712
[SPEAKER_00]: When that was back in 2024, and you just heard this one, you never knew I was gone.

01:06.312 --> 01:11.834
[SPEAKER_00]: The somewhat good news is in 2024, I was 233 pounds.

01:12.594 --> 01:16.475
[SPEAKER_00]: Here it is, 2026, 230 pounds.

01:17.476 --> 01:26.499
[SPEAKER_00]: And I thought I would touch base because I'm going to say something that I have said for all the years I've done this.

01:28.216 --> 01:33.438
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's no more, it's just sometimes like life just smacks you in the face.

01:34.499 --> 01:37.340
[SPEAKER_00]: And here is the point I want to make.

01:38.601 --> 01:41.622
[SPEAKER_00]: It's up to you, right?

01:41.882 --> 01:43.123
[SPEAKER_00]: You are the boss here.

01:44.383 --> 01:47.304
[SPEAKER_00]: And so only you can stop you.

01:48.505 --> 01:51.586
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's just a matter of finding that inspiration.

01:52.807 --> 01:54.067
[SPEAKER_00]: And I am now 61.

01:56.136 --> 02:17.461
[SPEAKER_00]: And if you are listening to this, and you are less than 61, I'm here to tell you, it is so much easier, like so much easier to lose weight when you are younger, and again, logical weight loss here, we lose muscle, be older we get, and muscle burns, you know, calories,

02:18.570 --> 02:23.855
[SPEAKER_00]: So you're burning less, which means you're not burning up the calories, which means you gain weight.

02:24.536 --> 02:32.044
[SPEAKER_00]: And since I was a young lad, I have always hated lifting weights, just not a fan, no pain, no gain.

02:32.144 --> 02:33.265
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll just take no pain.

02:34.126 --> 02:36.909
[SPEAKER_00]: But there comes a time when your back is against the wall.

02:36.949 --> 02:39.972
[SPEAKER_00]: When I turn 60, I'm going to go back to the top of the wall, I'm going to go back to the

02:40.227 --> 02:51.550
[SPEAKER_00]: It didn't really bother me half as much as I thought it was going to, but when I turned 61, that bothered me because it dawns on you kind of a duh.

02:52.471 --> 02:54.411
[SPEAKER_00]: This is as young as I'm gonna get.

02:55.052 --> 02:57.732
[SPEAKER_00]: We're not going backwards in every year.

02:57.752 --> 02:59.753
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't believe it's halfway.

02:59.793 --> 03:01.413
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, no October is done.

03:01.433 --> 03:06.275
[SPEAKER_00]: And is it just me or was like New Year's Eve like last week?

03:07.764 --> 03:14.108
[SPEAKER_00]: So, point number one, start now, start right now.

03:15.249 --> 03:23.375
[SPEAKER_00]: Today, find a way to walk around the block whatever it is, but you gotta find something to kindle the spark.

03:23.495 --> 03:29.159
[SPEAKER_00]: And really, when you think about it, we don't have starting problems.

03:30.381 --> 03:34.564
[SPEAKER_00]: We've all started to lose weight, multiple multiple times for decades.

03:35.085 --> 03:37.667
[SPEAKER_00]: We have a stopping problem.

03:39.108 --> 03:41.029
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, man, that's a good point.

03:41.610 --> 03:43.131
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that was Elizabeth Benton.

03:43.151 --> 03:43.931
[SPEAKER_00]: I heard say that.

03:44.992 --> 03:49.095
[SPEAKER_00]: And I needed something to spark it.

03:50.136 --> 03:57.862
[SPEAKER_00]: I am officially a type two diabetic now because of my weight loss or my weight and the fact that my mom was a diabetic.

03:57.902 --> 03:58.583
[SPEAKER_00]: Thanks, mom.

04:00.208 --> 04:13.539
[SPEAKER_00]: But, I believe if I could really get down to my target weight somewhere between 185, 190, something like that, that I could really be in better shape.

04:13.579 --> 04:14.860
[SPEAKER_00]: I went to the doctor this week.

04:14.900 --> 04:16.121
[SPEAKER_00]: I had some blood work done.

04:16.241 --> 04:17.763
[SPEAKER_00]: They do that when you're a diabetic.

04:18.544 --> 04:21.665
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm in okay shape, but every time I go, they go, oh, here.

04:21.686 --> 04:23.126
[SPEAKER_00]: Now you need this for your thyroid.

04:23.206 --> 04:24.787
[SPEAKER_00]: Now you need this for your blood pressure.

04:25.207 --> 04:26.308
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the joy getting old.

04:26.408 --> 04:30.069
[SPEAKER_00]: Hence, the new theme song there with getting old socks and it does.

04:31.170 --> 04:41.475
[SPEAKER_00]: And so whatever your inspiration is, figure out what it is and what's the thing that I'm going to tell you again, you know, I don't sugar coat stuff.

04:41.955 --> 04:46.497
[SPEAKER_00]: The thing that sucks is one thing that inspires you for a month and a half.

04:48.232 --> 04:49.912
[SPEAKER_00]: sometimes it fizzles.

04:51.033 --> 04:53.634
[SPEAKER_00]: And so what inspires a guy?

04:53.654 --> 04:56.274
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you guessed it.

04:57.054 --> 04:57.615
[SPEAKER_00]: A female.

04:58.595 --> 05:04.977
[SPEAKER_00]: And I have been single for much longer than I want to be since I got out of my last marriage.

05:06.437 --> 05:09.438
[SPEAKER_00]: And I saw someone

05:17.493 --> 05:23.159
[SPEAKER_00]: But I looked at me and was like, yeah, this is not good, right?

05:23.739 --> 05:25.401
[SPEAKER_00]: I know we're not supposed to hate ourselves.

05:25.421 --> 05:26.442
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't hate myself.

05:27.363 --> 05:30.326
[SPEAKER_00]: I hate what I've done to myself because I did this.

05:30.646 --> 05:31.467
[SPEAKER_00]: Nobody else did this.

05:31.647 --> 05:32.207
[SPEAKER_00]: I did this.

05:33.429 --> 05:36.652
[SPEAKER_00]: And so I have a rowing machine.

05:36.672 --> 05:39.294
[SPEAKER_00]: I have an elliptical machine.

05:40.357 --> 05:58.588
[SPEAKER_00]: I have a stationary bike, I have a total gym, I have dumbbells, multiple sets, I've got a bench print, not a bench press, a pushup thing, you stick on the floor, I've got things to stretch my legs and I was like, you know, you better start using these.

05:58.668 --> 06:06.813
[SPEAKER_00]: I also have a subscription to planet fitness, none of those do any good if you aren't using

06:10.421 --> 06:11.142
[SPEAKER_00]: I started.

06:11.162 --> 06:13.104
[SPEAKER_00]: I dusted off the rowing machine.

06:13.184 --> 06:14.825
[SPEAKER_00]: Why did you start with the rowing machine day?

06:14.845 --> 06:21.030
[SPEAKER_00]: Because it's supposed to burn about 80% of your muscles are being used.

06:21.050 --> 06:23.513
[SPEAKER_00]: So more muscles means more calories burned.

06:24.133 --> 06:29.238
[SPEAKER_00]: The only bad side of rowing and ladies, you can do this too.

06:30.379 --> 06:31.540
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't make you Hulk out.

06:32.785 --> 06:45.230
[SPEAKER_00]: is the fact it's boring it's it's it's more boring than yesterday's toast it is oh my goodness so I said well I need a place

06:46.524 --> 06:48.505
[SPEAKER_00]: that I don't dread going to.

06:49.445 --> 06:53.747
[SPEAKER_00]: It's as I record this, it's going to get cold and snowy out here in about a month in Ohio.

06:54.587 --> 06:56.308
[SPEAKER_00]: So I made a spot in my basement.

06:56.868 --> 07:01.170
[SPEAKER_00]: I took one of my flat screen TVs and I put it there and I can watch this.

07:01.330 --> 07:12.115
[SPEAKER_00]: I actually what I usually do is there are plenty of videos on YouTube because rowing is great, but it's not really fun because you have to really pay attention

07:14.760 --> 07:24.347
[SPEAKER_00]: So it was one of those where I did that and it's funny because at first I could only do about five minutes because I was trying way too hard.

07:25.678 --> 07:28.399
[SPEAKER_00]: But here's the thing, it doesn't matter what you're doing.

07:28.539 --> 07:36.622
[SPEAKER_00]: Some days, and by having variety, sometimes I go down, like if it's a football night, I cannot watch the football game on the couch.

07:36.662 --> 07:38.503
[SPEAKER_00]: I must be on the exercise bike.

07:38.903 --> 07:42.764
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I also have a treadmill in my living room.

07:43.065 --> 07:46.406
[SPEAKER_00]: To, that's what you do in your single, treadmill in the living room.

07:46.446 --> 07:52.068
[SPEAKER_00]: So I can watch TV, none of this does any good if you're not using it.

07:53.393 --> 07:57.294
[SPEAKER_00]: And all, it, it was the, okay, this is enough.

07:58.574 --> 08:00.015
[SPEAKER_00]: I've got to do something different.

08:00.835 --> 08:02.355
[SPEAKER_00]: And so I started exercising.

08:02.756 --> 08:04.336
[SPEAKER_00]: I still use chronometer.

08:04.376 --> 08:07.437
[SPEAKER_00]: That is my favorite app for tracking my food.

08:08.417 --> 08:09.457
[SPEAKER_00]: And it tracks my weight.

08:09.637 --> 08:11.938
[SPEAKER_00]: It ties in with everything that I use.

08:12.698 --> 08:13.478
[SPEAKER_00]: I love that app.

08:14.599 --> 08:17.800
[SPEAKER_00]: And I just started exercise.

08:17.840 --> 08:18.980
[SPEAKER_00]: Now the cool thing was,

08:20.345 --> 08:29.553
[SPEAKER_00]: is I instantly started losing weight and that was good until it, you know, I hit my first flat toe.

08:29.693 --> 08:31.534
[SPEAKER_00]: In fact, I went from I was so excited.

08:31.554 --> 08:38.139
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like 229.7 and look, you and I know that's that's 230 really if you round up.

08:38.560 --> 08:43.544
[SPEAKER_00]: But I was calling it 229 and then I just, I did not cheat.

08:43.704 --> 08:47.046
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't go to McDonalds and next thing I know, it's back to 231, I'm like, how did I

08:50.276 --> 08:50.896
[SPEAKER_00]: daily.

08:51.397 --> 08:54.458
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's where you have to trust the process.

08:54.558 --> 08:55.479
[SPEAKER_00]: It's started to work.

08:55.619 --> 08:57.039
[SPEAKER_00]: Who knows why it's not working.

08:57.700 --> 09:00.501
[SPEAKER_00]: But it really is up to me.

09:00.701 --> 09:05.264
[SPEAKER_00]: And all I'm doing is I like even right now is a record this.

09:05.324 --> 09:09.186
[SPEAKER_00]: It's 10 15 and 9 when I get done recording this, I'm going to go downstairs and exercise.

09:09.866 --> 09:11.107
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I'm going to take a shower.

09:12.235 --> 09:26.226
[SPEAKER_00]: because I'll be wet and stinky and then I will go to bed and I've also found this out that when I exercise not always just before beds that's probably not really a great strategy but I am committed but I'm also sleeping better.

09:26.346 --> 09:29.989
[SPEAKER_00]: I have an aura ring for those little things that tells you all sorts of stuff.

09:30.009 --> 09:35.374
[SPEAKER_00]: You can also get a lot of this info from your apple watch but I don't sleep with my apple watch on.

09:35.394 --> 09:38.116
[SPEAKER_00]: I like the aura ring and it's saying every day I

09:41.136 --> 09:44.218
[SPEAKER_00]: And I also, I'm lucky enough that I work from home.

09:45.099 --> 09:47.800
[SPEAKER_00]: And so there are times when I will actually sleep in a little more.

09:47.820 --> 09:50.722
[SPEAKER_00]: And I have a five foot commute to work.

09:51.503 --> 09:52.363
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's fine.

09:52.403 --> 09:57.987
[SPEAKER_00]: But in the end, it's me that says, nope, you can't do this.

09:58.547 --> 10:01.809
[SPEAKER_00]: You can't go to the grocery store until you exercise first.

10:01.849 --> 10:04.731
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a matter of putting you first.

10:04.791 --> 10:07.653
[SPEAKER_00]: And in some cases, I actually am now putting it on my calendar.

10:08.433 --> 10:19.644
[SPEAKER_00]: So the woman in the tube from Amazon who announces everything that's on my calendar will say, you know, exercise for 30 minutes, starts in 15 minutes.

10:20.865 --> 10:22.907
[SPEAKER_00]: And I just treat it like a doctor's appointment.

10:22.947 --> 10:25.890
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the other thing that I find interesting.

10:27.067 --> 10:31.210
[SPEAKER_00]: is I can tell you we all know do you know what you're doing wrong.

10:31.330 --> 10:55.726
[SPEAKER_00]: I do it's it's late night snacking like I will dinner somewhere around 6 to 7 and then somewhere around 8 and then somewhere around 930 and it's not like I'm eating a pizza it's three handfuls of peanuts it's it's an atkins chocolate cream crisp bar but it's atkins so it's healthy no it's not and so you know you just and

10:56.989 --> 11:00.310
[SPEAKER_00]: I had to go get this blood worked on and they're like, okay, be sure to fast.

11:00.911 --> 11:02.971
[SPEAKER_00]: Like after you eat dinner, don't eat anything.

11:03.712 --> 11:05.672
[SPEAKER_00]: And I have my meeting in the morning.

11:06.193 --> 11:09.554
[SPEAKER_00]: So from Mike, I don't know, seven o'clock at night till about 11.

11:10.434 --> 11:12.215
[SPEAKER_00]: The next day, I did not eat.

11:12.255 --> 11:16.377
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, wait a minute, so you can not eat at night.

11:17.057 --> 11:19.458
[SPEAKER_00]: It's possible because you just did it.

11:20.410 --> 11:23.091
[SPEAKER_00]: So what's stopping me from doing that every night?

11:23.891 --> 11:26.211
[SPEAKER_00]: I've got to get something going on in my brain.

11:27.051 --> 11:29.532
[SPEAKER_00]: My brain somehow knew, nope, no peanuts tonight.

11:29.792 --> 11:31.432
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no this, no that.

11:32.192 --> 11:38.934
[SPEAKER_00]: No two pieces of baloney with no bread, none of that stuff, because it's just, you're not really hungry, you're bored.

11:40.174 --> 11:42.014
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's so it's a brain thing.

11:42.194 --> 11:45.975
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's not so much willpower, it's just, again, logical weight loss.

11:46.615 --> 11:58.399
[SPEAKER_00]: And so I just have to realize there are times, because when I go, peanuts would smell taste good about now, because peanuts are in theory, a good snack, because it's the good kind of fat, and it's lots of protein.

11:58.519 --> 12:06.361
[SPEAKER_00]: It's also really dense in calories, and all of a sudden, that 30 minutes of calories that you burn off.

12:06.381 --> 12:09.662
[SPEAKER_00]: You just threw down your face with a couple of handfuls of peanuts.

12:10.525 --> 12:12.827
[SPEAKER_00]: So you have to be careful about that.

12:12.887 --> 12:18.972
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's really one of those things where, okay, so I chose to fast.

12:19.112 --> 12:20.754
[SPEAKER_00]: And I showed that I can do it.

12:21.254 --> 12:28.340
[SPEAKER_00]: It was interesting, the other night, I put on a rowing tutorial on YouTube.

12:29.601 --> 12:31.543
[SPEAKER_00]: And the guy said, all right, this is a 20 minute workout.

12:31.583 --> 12:33.525
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like, I can barely do seven minutes.

12:34.365 --> 12:35.787
[SPEAKER_00]: How am I going to do 20?

12:36.147 --> 12:37.008
[SPEAKER_00]: Guess what I did 20?

12:38.622 --> 12:40.042
[SPEAKER_00]: You can do more than you think.

12:40.803 --> 12:42.743
[SPEAKER_00]: It's your brain often that is stopping you.

12:43.383 --> 12:48.705
[SPEAKER_00]: And so, you gotta get your brain right so you can get your body moving right.

12:49.885 --> 12:51.206
[SPEAKER_00]: And you can do this.

12:52.026 --> 12:58.408
[SPEAKER_00]: And so this may or may not be a weekly show, but it's really, it's weird.

12:58.428 --> 13:06.790
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm talking to you to give you a little pep talk here, but I'm also talking to myself to say, keep going.

13:07.712 --> 13:29.792
[SPEAKER_00]: you started don't stop and that doesn't mean you have to be perfect, but it does mean that you have to keep going because it only gets harder from here again, anyone under the age of what I am and everybody I know that's older than me has told me do it now because the older you get,

13:30.837 --> 13:32.598
[SPEAKER_00]: And it almost seems impossible.

13:33.119 --> 13:38.082
[SPEAKER_00]: And I know the other day I was like, man, why is this scale going the wrong way?

13:38.162 --> 13:43.446
[SPEAKER_00]: I was doing all the right stuff and it was going and I was like, you know what, trust the process.

13:43.546 --> 13:47.489
[SPEAKER_00]: It makes sense, trust the process and don't lie to yourself.

13:48.411 --> 13:50.312
[SPEAKER_00]: When you go, why did the same thing?

13:50.452 --> 13:52.273
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I did have a Coke zero.

13:53.633 --> 13:54.374
[SPEAKER_00]: I did have this.

13:55.414 --> 13:57.995
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I guess I borrowed some food off my kids playing.

13:58.195 --> 13:58.676
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

13:59.016 --> 13:59.976
[SPEAKER_00]: All that stuff counts.

14:00.696 --> 14:06.999
[SPEAKER_00]: Because it's, for me, at least, it's not the exercise, although that's important.

14:07.680 --> 14:08.480
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the diet.

14:08.960 --> 14:10.461
[SPEAKER_00]: It's always the diet.

14:11.512 --> 14:16.618
[SPEAKER_00]: And so it means I now go to the grocery store more often because I'm cooking a head.

14:17.318 --> 14:21.923
[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't go, I need something quick and then you go to McDonald's McDonald's isn't quick.

14:22.924 --> 14:29.271
[SPEAKER_00]: I love the fact that when I use their app, which again is the devil, you can hear that in the last episode.

14:30.942 --> 14:41.391
[SPEAKER_00]: You order it ahead of time, you get there, you tell them, hey, my numbers jk128 and they go great, pull around, you pull around to the window and they're like, can you pull around to the other side?

14:41.411 --> 14:42.032
[SPEAKER_00]: We're not ready.

14:43.133 --> 14:45.234
[SPEAKER_00]: What's the point at ordering the food ahead of time?

14:45.935 --> 14:54.382
[SPEAKER_00]: So by the time you go there, wait in line, get to the window, pull around, wait some more, and then go home, you could have just cooked your own stuff.

14:54.422 --> 14:57.165
[SPEAKER_00]: There's nothing with fast food and it's not cheap anymore.

14:58.510 --> 14:59.190
[SPEAKER_00]: So, quit eating it.

14:59.831 --> 15:01.691
[SPEAKER_00]: And I know I have gone quite a bit.

15:02.512 --> 15:04.713
[SPEAKER_00]: I just went 17 days without ice cream.

15:05.553 --> 15:11.916
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll talk about more about gadgets and stuff that I have done and that I'm using now to keep myself motivated.

15:11.936 --> 15:13.977
[SPEAKER_00]: But realize we don't have a starting problem.

15:14.557 --> 15:16.838
[SPEAKER_00]: We have a stopping problem.

15:16.858 --> 15:18.879
[SPEAKER_00]: And don't feel

15:20.113 --> 15:23.895
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, well, I started this and it was great, but it's getting kind of boring.

15:23.995 --> 15:38.624
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, it doesn't mean your, your bad doesn't mean your evil doesn't mean your dumb doesn't mean your stew, but it means probably your human, which is why have multiple machines, or maybe it's time to watch something different as your exercising, or maybe you just need music.

15:38.744 --> 15:40.525
[SPEAKER_00]: I love music when I exercise.

15:41.105 --> 15:41.686
[SPEAKER_00]: It's awesome.

15:42.246 --> 15:44.627
[SPEAKER_00]: But I just wanted to stop in, say hello.

15:45.208 --> 15:46.689
[SPEAKER_00]: Hope all is well with you.

15:49.582 --> 16:09.514
[SPEAKER_00]: uh... again i'm not nine hundred years old but i've lost friends already i've got a friend that i went to high school with that is uh... pretty bad with all simmers uh... my dad went through that and you look at her and go wait you're the same age as i am and you know that's for old people

16:10.518 --> 16:14.020
[SPEAKER_00]: And then there's a voice in your head that goes, Dave, you might want to check the calendar.

16:14.841 --> 16:19.423
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, last night I was watching Monday night football and they were talking about a guy on the crew.

16:19.483 --> 16:21.504
[SPEAKER_00]: He was some sort of stats guy.

16:21.524 --> 16:31.230
[SPEAKER_00]: And they said we want to send out our condolences to his family and his children and everything else, you know, Bob or Don or Steve or whoever it was.

16:31.250 --> 16:32.151
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a great guy.

16:32.611 --> 16:33.892
[SPEAKER_00]: He was 60 years old.

16:33.932 --> 16:35.853
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like, hey, that's younger than I am.

16:37.991 --> 17:04.453
[SPEAKER_00]: that's an inspiration to get you up and going so thank you so much for sticking around if you're still here if you're new stick around there's more coming and you can do this you can because you're the only person that's stopping you and you're the only person that can really motivate you to keep going and remember we're never thrilled about getting on a treadmill

17:05.793 --> 17:09.234
[SPEAKER_00]: But at least for me, I never feel bad when I get off.

17:10.235 --> 17:11.635
[SPEAKER_01]: Thanks for listening.

17:13.016 --> 17:15.336
