Monday… You’d better be good to me! Just kidding… 🙂 Up next, item #1 on my “ToDo List”: (You can use these symbols: ☐✅).
Remember, losing weight means:
- No more joint pain.
- Easier to get up/down stairs.
- New clothes.
- Socialize more.
- Travel more.
So, keep motivated! Here goes:
Morning
- ✅ #01: 📌 Work on Universal Planner! (Yes!)
- …
- ✅ #02: 😴 Record any Nighttime Whispers! (No)
- …
- ✅ #03: 📈 Weigh yourself! (361.9 lbs. – 317.6 lbs. = 44.3 lbs. total weight loss.)
- …
- ✅ #04: 📉 Record Weight Down in Title!

- ☐✅ #05: 📕Read/Craft Ultimate Manifestation Letter: (2:24 pm,
- …
- ✅ #06: ☕ Over AM Coffee, say Terje’s Script! (*** NOTES ***) (2:33 pm!)
- #1) Hello – Begin by acknowledging them out loud. Simply say “Hello Universe” and open the conversation. The goal is not perfection or certainty, but connection. Say “THANK YOU” for everything and be SPECIFIC about manifestations!
- #2) Honesty – Speak truthfully about what you actually feel — fear, loneliness, frustration, gratitude, confusion, hope, excitement, doubt, or exhaustion. Don’t perform spirituality. Just be real.
- #3) Companionship – Treat them like companions walking beside you. Share little moments throughout the day: things you notice, appreciate, wonder about, or find beautiful or funny. Build relationship, not just requests.
- #4) Meetings – Take a few moments each day to talk through your life with them — what’s ahead today, what you’re worried about, what you want, where you feel stuck, and where you’d appreciate support or clarity.
- #5) Asking – Ask first for emotional relief and inner calm, then ask for solutions, guidance, pop-ins, signs, opportunities, ideas, or small favors. Ask openly without demanding exact outcomes or trying to control how the answer arrives.
- #6) Releasing – After asking, stop forcing. Go live your life. Walk, drive, work, brainstorm out loud, drink coffee, move through ordinary moments, and allow ideas or clarity to arise naturally instead of mentally gripping for answers.
- #7) Noticing – Pay attention to what returns — sudden ideas, emotional shifts, coincidences, synchronicities, timing, relief, unexpected opportunities, little “winks,” or moments that feel quietly meaningful. Then continue the conversation and relationship over time.

📋Additional Daily Notes
Today turned into one of those wonderfully mixed days where investing, the AI Diet, manifestation, family, chess, and a nighttime coffee all somehow fit together.
A good part of the day was spent thinking about my investments. I took another close look at my Roth IRA and Rollover IRA after the major restructuring I recently did. One thing that became clear was that I had reduced my Alphabet position more than I realized. I currently have 280 shares of GOOGL and 89 shares of GOOG, 369 Alphabet shares altogether, compared with roughly 509 before the restructuring. Whether selling some of those great companies was the right decision is something I’m still wrestling with. I’m sitting on substantial cash now, however, and I continue to think the market could give me opportunities to buy excellent companies at considerably lower prices.
That tied nicely into a video featuring Big Short investor Steve Eisman. His warning was that the market could experience a major correction if the enormous investment being made in artificial intelligence ultimately fails to produce the expected returns. What particularly interested me was the idea that so much of the market has effectively become one enormous AI trade. I also thought about oil and the Middle East. Predictions of substantially lower oil prices in 2027 seem difficult to reconcile with Iran’s ability to disrupt the Strait of Hormuz and the continuing threat from the Houthis. New pipelines can bypass some of the danger, but they certainly don’t make those geopolitical risks disappear.
The AI Diet also moved forward today. My project plan told me to “Create weight-loss graph,” even though I hadn’t originally included one in the ebook’s index. After looking at the structure of the book, it became obvious that the graph actually completes an important part of the story. Version 1.04 was supposed to answer a simple question: could I reproduce the success of the original AI Diet before trying to improve it? The numbers gave me the answer. I started the 30-day reset at 344.9 pounds and finished at 326.0 pounds—a loss of 18.9 pounds in 30 days. We created a new “30-Day Reset Results” section for the ebook, complete with the graph. That’s a result worth documenting.
Today is the 2nd week of my experiment to add a new food item to my AI Diet v1.04! This week? Unlimited spices and fat-free dressings! Food-wise, I discovered another little winner. I tried G Hughes No Sugar Added Hickory BBQ Sauce (see photo to the right) on potatoes. No fat, very little carbohydrate—and absolutely delicious. One of the lessons I’m learning is that simple potato-based eating doesn’t necessarily have to mean boring eating. Finding sauces and seasonings that make the basic foods genuinely enjoyable may be one of the keys to making this sustainable.
I also watched Andrew Taylor’s Day 98 Spud Fit video. His message struck me because he questioned the popular idea that we simply need to “love our bodies” regardless of their condition. For him, the more useful idea was accepting reality. He wanted an athletic body capable of doing things his current body couldn’t yet do. Rather than pretending to love that situation, he chose to acknowledge it and change it. His reference to Kipling’s If— summed it up beautifully: meet with “Triumph and Disaster” and treat those two impostors just the same. Accept reality, don’t hide from it, and then do something about it.
Today was also Day #2 of living in the end with my vibrating watch. The watch is charged and doing its job: reminding me throughout the day to return to that state. I’m continuing to ask the Universe for the occasional wink along the way—a toonie, a free coffee, an unexpected coincidence, or simply something that makes me smile. At the same time, the bigger request remains the same: help me discover my passion and then have the courage to follow it.
I even squeezed in some chess today. My early queen attack didn’t quite work out as planned, and I learned firsthand why you need to pay attention to every piece standing between a queen and her intended victim! The game settled down afterward, and I got back to developing pieces and protecting my king.
Tonight I ended up at McDonald’s with my tablet propped up in front of me and a small black coffee with one Splenda. On the screen: a video showing London Fog doughnuts from Breka. There was something amusingly appropriate about sitting there drinking my virtually calorie-free coffee while watching somebody else contemplate beautiful doughnuts.
And maybe that’s not a bad picture with which to end the day.
I’m still working on the body. Still working on the money. Still working on the book. Still experimenting with living in the end. Still looking for my passion. Still watching for those little winks from the Universe.
But tonight, I was simply sitting at McDonald’s with my coffee, watching the world go by.
And for the moment, that was enough.
