  1. Greetings Monkeywatchers, showaddy crap to you all, and welcome to more tales from the mythical place that was once known as Fun City. Ho hum. Well, with the first foreign tourists finally being allowed out of quarantine, the Thai government have introduced yet another cracking idea to woo back the tourists - electronic tags. These measure body temperature, blood pressure and heart rate, and send an alert to the authorities if the readings rise excessively. Reckon there’s going to be a whole lot of hotel room doors being smashed down by the boys in brown before too long. And if that

  2. Nirun Market retractable roof in the close position today. What was J Club is about set to reopen as Amsterdam Lounge. Soi Xzyte market They're now working on rewiring the other side of New Plaza. Wiring completed on the other side, with new lighting for the soi. Wonder if the light poles will hold up to drunks stumbling into them. Also, looks like Pussy Bar succumbed to the virus. Fireworks barge is locked and loaded for tomorrow and Saturday's firework show. New building on 3rd Rd near Klang is getting a bit of green.

  5. Thanks for the effort Monkey Man. Just one comment on an assumption that you make. This is about the future ownership of Pattaya hotels. You may well be right but in my own quiet neck of the woods it seems that the Indians are going boots and all into the accommodation industry. They currently dominate the corner stores and the liquor industries. Sent from my CPH1941 using Tapatalk

  6. (393-184)/23 = 9 lbs/month (4 kg/month). That's a really good weight loss rate! Well done. I drink plenty of Coke Light (4-6 cans/day), so I don't ascribe to the believe that diet beverages are bad. But drinking lots of water is always good for you. I'm focused on my fasting glucose numbers because of my T2DM. Coke Light doesn't seem to affect it at all, but recently I found a very surprising food that did affect it, when it really should not. I'll talk about it in my Dec 1st update along with the data to support my thoughts.

  7. Thanks for your information. Regarding the wisdom of quick weight loss, I have found a lot of "common knowledge" to be more nuanced. For example, they claim you should not drink Diet Beverages as it will "raise your blood insulin". I have not found this to be particularly true. I drink 4-6 Coke Lights each day. I did find there is something called cephalic phase insulin release (CPIR ). Basically, this is when your brain triggers insulin release in anticipation of eating/drinking something sweet. This is similar to salivating when you smell something savory. But a bigger issue, claimed by so

  8. Beer Belly well done. You have more patience than me but it is important. I used My Fitness Pal to track my calories. Im to lazy to calculate and they have most foods in the data base. When i first looked i realized if i consumed no food at all my beer drinking would still add 1/2 pound a month. Embarrassed to say Maryland winters are boring and i could easily have 12-20 beers a day, hadn't a beer in 2 years but Sake and the demon rum will still get me. I would typically eat 800-1000 calories a day. The fitness site would not give me a projection saying your not eating enough. My weight loss

  9. Finding a good doctor is like finding a good handyman in Thailand. They exists, but you have to go through many before you find the good one. I had a couple of bad experiences with doctors that kind of put me off of them. Back in the States, I got kidney stones quite often. When they happened, my urologist would recommend a procedure to remove them, which I did about 5-6 times. These are not pleasant experiences. Though they are done under general anesthesia, the recovery is quite painful. One time in Ubon at MM's wedding, I had some major kidney stone related issues. Pissing blood l

  10. Thanks! I am increasing my duration and frequency of walking and I'm hoping if I continue to lose weight, things can only get better. Just got back from a just under 6 km walk from Le Pub down Beach Road and back. I'm working on my tracking spreadsheets and I do plan to have some kind of chart to plot distance walked per week, or some such metric that is easy to see. The fitness app is okay, but I like to make my own charts. Speaking of "adding years to your life", my scale is one of those smart scales and one of the things it does is tell me my "body age". Of course, it's just some

  11. November 1, 2020 Status (106 Days In) Here are my fasting glucose and weight graphs from the beginning to today. In the glucose chart, you can see a big increase, that was when I stopped taking glyburide, because the hypoglycemia was just too dangerous. As mentioned, it's actually in the normal range, so I'm okay with these numbers. The numbers look erratic partly because the medication changes over time. This morning's weigh in put me at 93.9 kg (206.6 lbs) for a total loss of 21.4 kg (47.1 lbs). I did go drinking last night, which usually means I'll be a bit dehydrated the

  12. Keto Way Of Life I've had friends ask me "how long do you plan to be on this diet?" and the answer is forever. I no longer consider it a diet and consider it a change of lifestyle. It would be like asking a vegan how long they plan to be a vegan. The changes I have made include not taking food for granted. For example, ketchup. I love ketchup, but it is high in sugar. So for the very first time in my life, I made my own ketchup. Why? So I could save 3.7 g of carbohydrates per tablespoon of ketchup I use. In fact, in Thailand, you have to do a lot more cooking and order some ingr

  13. What Else Have I Done Aside from changing to a low-carb diet, what else have I done? When doing my morning weigh in, I never worry about day over day differences. I know this can be damaging to one's motivation that could then lead to going off the diet. So in my weight spreadsheet, I keep track of a seven day difference. So while I weigh myself every morning after a morning piss, I really only consider what they seven day changes are before considering if I need to make any changes. During my first three months, I ran into some hurdles. Sometimes, I would bottom out on my weigh
