Nellie… You didn't just draft me. You believed in me. You saw things in my game before I ever realized I could do them. I've said it a million times and I will always say it: I don't think my career could have turned out how it did without you being my first coach and giving me the freedom to play my game. I can only say THANK YOU. For everything. RIP legend.

8. Workout beside someone who is more jacked and athletic than you. Proximity to a high performer increases performance. 9. Workout in gyms where you're the least fit person. This is like sitting in a room surrounded by billionaires.

Processed food kills. EAT REAL FOOD.

The worst part of this storm will be the prolonged ICE ACCREATION followed by the COLD next week. None of this will melt anytime soon. I hope you are ready for extended power outages.

1862 London: William Banting is 66 years old, 5'5" tall, and weighs 202 pounds. He's so fat he can't tie his own shoes. Walking downstairs backwards because going forward hurts his knees. Deaf in one ear from fat pressing on his Eustachian tubes. He's tried everything. Rowing on the Thames at 5am daily. Extreme calorie restriction. Turkish baths. Sea bathing. Starvation diets prescribed by the best physicians in London. Nothing works. He keeps gaining weight. His doctor, William Harvey, suggests something radical after hearing about diabetes research from Paris. Stop eating bread, sugar, potatoes, and beer. Eat meat, fish, and vegetables instead. No starch, no sugar. Banting is skeptical but desperate. He starts eating meat three times daily, eliminates bread completely, drops potatoes and beer. Within weeks, the weight starts dropping. Within a year, he's lost 46 pounds and 12 inches off his waist. More importantly, he can hear again. The fat pressing on his ear canal is gone. He can walk downstairs normally. He can tie his shoes. At age 67, he feels better than he did at 40. He's so thrilled he publishes a pamphlet in 1863: "Letter on Corpulence, Addressed to the Public." It becomes a bestseller. Over 60,000 copies sold. Translated into multiple languages. "Banting" becomes a verb in Victorian England - "to bant" means to follow his low-carbohydrate diet. The medical establishment immediately attacks him. They say it's dangerous, unsustainable, will cause kidney disease. The criticism is so severe that Banting publishes multiple editions defending his approach with testimonials from others who succeeded. He lives another 16 years on his meat-based low-carb diet, dying in 1878 at age 81. The autopsy report notes he had a healthy heart and no sign of the kidney disease doctors warned about. His pamphlet gets buried by the early 20th century when calorie-counting becomes dominant. The advice that worked for him and thousands of others is forgotten in favor of "eat less, move more" which fails repeatedly but sounds more scientific. Modern low-carb movements rediscovered Banting's work in the 1990s and realized he'd solved obesity 130 years earlier. The solution was always meat and fat, eliminating sugar and starch. We just spent a century pretending it was more complicated than that. Banting wasn't a doctor or scientist. He was a wealthy undertaker who got fat, tried everything mainstream medicine offered, failed, then succeeded by eating meat and avoiding carbohydrates. He documented his success carefully and shared it freely. The medical establishment of his era rejected him. Modern nutritionists ignore him. But he lost 46 pounds at age 66 and lived healthy to 81 eating meat and fat while avoiding sugar and starch. One approach worked. One created a century of failed dietary advice.

Get ready. This will be a shock! It will FEEL like a nearly 60 degree drop with this powerful cold front late today.

This made me happy. The world needs more joy.

Good thoughts are all you ever need.
