Just Another Nick

As part of the ongoing journey around getting skinny(er) and then getting fitter and stronger, I am taking a turn into what's important when picking a new Boot Camp, PT or class based gym, and the importance of doing your homework when buying home gym equipment.

For those in Australia, who may be interested in getting some home gym equipment (from basic light dumbbells to more extensive equipment), please feel free to take advantage of my affiliate link from Vulcan Fitness:  https://vulcanfitness.com.au/?ref=Dragon as this will give you an additional 5% off your total purchase price.

The Big Bang, or Let there be light?

It's a war that has been going on for thousands of years, and likely for more to come. Though religion has become more accepting of the fact that science isn't explicitly trying to disprove the existence of God, the fight is still there.

It's interesting in our current days where we have so much 'faith' in our scientists pursuit of answers and truth, where once upon a time we used to put this faith in that which we couldn't see. 

But why do we war, what do we believe, how does the timeline work when there is evidence to show that it doesn't?

Is there a God?

This episode brings us to the conclusion of how I got around to dealing with my weight and how I managed to go through the process of losing it.

In case you have missed the previous episodes of this journey, you can check them out in order in the following episodes: season 1 episodes 1 and 5, and in season 2 episodes 2 and 8.

I also briefly touch on two very important styles of healthiness metrics in this episode. They are Body Mass Index (BMI), and Bio-Welness Index (BWI). 

It's odd to think that the only way we can see the past is by going into our future, but that is exactly how it's done. It's no better proven than by what we are seeing in the resulting imagery being captured by the amazing James Webb Space Telescope, as we look upon places that are 10's or 100's of millions of light years away.

In this episode, I'll touch on how some of these times relate to us, and what it means for what we are actually looking at...

That's right, I'm back after getting my shit sorted and getting organise for Season 3.

As mentioned in the episode, get your backside over to the Just Another Nick Facebook page and let me know what you think of the new music. Yes, I know there's no poll as promised, but that's because Facebook sucks arse and wouldn't let me create a poll.

Also I mentioned a couple of specific business's, so want to hopefully send some goodwill their way (and people), so check them out below:

Anyway, all that fancy shit aside, why aren't you listening to the episode yet?

This is the final page for the season, with this episode, it draws to a close.

But fear not, for I, Just another Nick will return in season 3, in just a few weeks, with hopefully a whole new sound.

Don't forget you can find the FB page right here: https://www.facebook.com/Just.Another.Nick.The.Podcast or by search Just Another Nick the Podcast, and give me more ideas or subjects of what I can talk about next season.

This was to have been an episode about the Australian Federal Election and the bullcrap that gets fed to the public during an election campaign.

But I said fuck that. I'm sick of that crap, so you probably are too!

Today I'm going to talk about a couple of Instagram reels from @TheMentorHouse that have particularly resonated with me in the past couple of weeks.

It's important to remember that just because we've been taught something, or made to think a certain way, that it is necessarily the right way. Keep being strong, keep thinking for yourself, and remember to take care of yourself!

The "Plateau" is a dieters worst enemy (asides from doughnuts, pizza, burgers, hot chips....), it's the point in their journey where nothing they do makes a difference.

It's no longer a battle between the mind and the body, it's now a matter of the mind versus itself. 

For most, the plateau only lasts for a few months before they get through, I wasn't quite that lucky.

Have you ever had the most random of thoughts? Like how much does a fart weigh, or if the universe is expanding, what is it expanding into? Perhaps you're wondering why you still listen to this podcast.

Well this episode is all about those moments, spurned on unexpectedly by an unbidden and completely random thought of my own. Following on from this episode, I'd love to have you drop in to the Just Another Nick - The Podcast Facebook page and let me know of some of your random thoughts.

An optimist and an pessimist walk into a pandemic...

The glass half full question... Is it half full or half empty? There are 2 very different crowds in this question.

The world is the same. There are optimists, and there are pessimists. Neither listen to the others, and they certainly don't listen to those who are in the middle with a comprehension of what is happening on both sides.

But how does this all fit together?
