Welcome to a “New Format” today! Here comes item #1 on my “ToDo List”: (You can use these symbols: ☐✅).
New Format… Day #001 (8/14–>50%=Win!) (<290? Not Today!)
So I’m going to start this next month with a new format and see how it goes. I’ve been doing primarily lists for the past few years, but I thought I would try something different…
The main goal is to: get back to <290 lbs.
I’m still going to have “ToDo” Lists at heart, but this time I’m going to couch these “ToDo” items in paragraphs to provide a narrative on what needs to be done. In doing so, hopefully I will get myself into the mood of getting things done. The goal is to complete the “ToDo” items in the paragraphs no matter what each day, with a lot of regular “ToDo” items to follow these paragraphs if I happen to feel extra “energetic” and want to get more done. Ready? Here goes…
To start off each day, record my weight as I have been doing so far:
- ✅ #01: 📈 Weigh yourself! (361.9 lbs. – 324.6 lbs. = 37.3 lbs. total weight loss.)
- ✅ #02: 📉 Record Weight Down in Title!
- ✅ #03: 😴 Record any Nighttime Whispers! (The Wire I Was Born To Cut!)
The main go for the next month or so is to focus more on my health and getting back down to <290.0 lbs., which I did do last August, but have gone up considerably since then. I need to put the benefits of losing weight at the forefront of my mind:
- To simply feel better.
- To be able to walk faster.
- Walking in Philippines.
- Shins.
- Prolong Knees.
To do this I will be going back to the basics, and initially adopting Andrew Taylor’s SpudFit diet, of only potatoes and condiments for the next month. This can/will include both regular and sweet potatoes, almond milk, “sugar” included condiments but “without fat”, tea, coffee, Zevia, 0% alcohol beer, and water.
- ✅ #04: 🥔Follow the SpudFit diet plan! (Jack Daniel’s BBQ Sauce on Potatoes!)
- ✅ #05: 💊 Take Vitamins: (This evening!)
- ✅ #06: 🥂 Martini Water Ritual! (This evening!)
- 🌾 Collagen (2 scoops)
- ✅ #07: 💧 Hydration Target Met (≈ 2L) with (Lemon juice: 6 tablespoons, Apple cider vinegar: 2 tablespoons, Himalayan salt: 1/4 teaspoon, Iodized salt: 1/4 teaspoon)! (This evening!)
Moving away from the physical, to the mental:

- ☐✅ #09: 👩⚕️Work on my “Nurse Novel”: <>

📋Additional Daily Notes
Tuesday, January 13, 2026 arrived with that strange feeling of being pulled out of another Universe. It was already 10 a.m. when I woke up, not because my body was ready, but because I forced it. I set my alarm specifically to take my diclofenac pill, and it jolted me out of the kind of deep sleep you almost never remember. The kind where you’re not lightly dreaming—you’re submerged. And because I was ripped awake so suddenly, the dream didn’t fade the way they usually do. It stayed. It came with me into the room like a message I wasn’t allowed to forget.
And then I remembered why I’d slept so late in the first place. It wasn’t just because I was tired. It was because I’d basically been on a mission in the middle of the night.
From about 2 a.m. to 4:30 a.m., I was driving around Comox and Courtenay while the roads were mostly empty. Everything closed. Everything silent. That eerie late-night stillness where the world feels paused and you’re the only one moving through it. I had a plan, and I was determined to test it. I took my YQQ Brew business cards and put small stickers on the back (see photo to the right), handwritten in a way that made it feel like a personal message. Like something meant for someone else. Like the card had been passed to a friend.
After that late-night run, I did what I always seem to do when I’m running on adrenaline and impulse at the same time. I stopped at Tim Hortons and bought a six-pack of doughnuts. Then I went to McDonald’s and got an Egg McMuffin and pancakes. I came home, ate it all, and fell asleep. That was the reason I slept in. Not laziness. Not depression. Just the consequence of being awake in the middle of the night doing something slightly insane but also weirdly purposeful.
When I woke up, I checked for results. And at first, there were no new subscribers. That familiar gut-drop. That moment of disappointment where my brain wants to make it mean something bigger than it is. No new subscribers equals failure. No new subscribers equals this is pointless. No new subscribers equals I’m invisible. But the truth is, reality doesn’t move on my emotional clock. People don’t scan a card at 4 a.m. and subscribe instantly. There’s a lag. A delay. That quiet space between action and evidence, where discipline either holds or collapses.
And then, later, I checked again.
Another one.
A new subscriber showed up, and the feeling was immediate. Relief. Proof. Confirmation. The machine worked. Someone out there had picked up one of those cards, scanned it, and actually followed through. This wasn’t theoretical. It wasn’t just me fantasizing about momentum. It was a real person in the real world taking action because of something I created and put into circulation. It felt like a small win, but not really small. It was another brick in the foundation. Another sign that the system can work and will work, if I keep showing up.
That’s what today really was. Not just a day. Not just a dream. It was a demonstration of the exact thing I’ve been wrestling with for so long. The gap between inner reality and outer results. The time lag between intention and manifestation. The choice to keep building even when the scoreboard hasn’t changed yet. The willingness to do strange, bold, imperfect things in the physical world and let them take root.
There was also a quiet line in today, almost like a vow, that matters: I’m going to start my potato diet again in earnest. I’m going to get back on track. And what I mean by that isn’t punishment. It’s alignment. It’s me refusing to let one late-night doughnut spree become a story about relapse or failure. It was one night. One surge. One imperfect moment. The direction matters more than the hiccup.
And maybe that’s why the dream came the way it did. Maybe it wasn’t random at all. Maybe it was my deeper self responding to the exact thing I’ve been asking for in my nightly invocation. Tonight, as I sleep, I open myself to the Universe. I ask for guidance. I ask for messages. And then I’m shown an arena, a high-stakes puzzle, a crowd, and the world’s most iconic “genius,” and I’m the one who solves it—not because I’m normal, but because I’m different. Because my brain sees patterns. Because my mind works sideways. Because I’m built for certain kinds of problems.
And the part where I don’t get credit? That’s the old wound. The old story. The old training. The lifelong habit of shrinking after success, hiding after insight, softening my confidence before anyone can challenge it. The dream didn’t just flatter me. It revealed something. It showed me both the power and the shadow. It showed me the capability and the self-erasure. It showed me the gift and the old reflex that tries to keep the gift invisible.
So today wasn’t just about a new subscriber. It wasn’t just about a dream. It was about proof. It was about being in motion. It was about taking action in the real world, then holding steady long enough to see reality respond. It was about the beginning of something compounding, even if the numbers are still small. And it was about reminding myself, again, that I’m not waiting to become someone. I’m already in it. Already Becoming.
