 Good morning everybody. You can see that I got all of my stuff in the truck. It's Monday. I'm ready to get going Let's get out there on highway two Brainerd will get unloaded this afternoon yet below that's loading first thing tomorrow morning. It's taking me back home Getting scenery on the landscape. There's no snow in Brainerd. I love it. Beautiful day out here Let's get this freight off our trailers weighing me down. I don't want any more All right, so trailers empty behind me and I have a new load I have a new mission. Are you down to come with me on a new adventure an adventure of epic proportions all the way to the great megalop Megalopolis, I can't even say with straight face. We're going to Duluth. I can't even get my words right. We're going to Duluth It's gonna punch in the address here and Yeah, so we're gonna get close to there. There is a quick trip, I believe Close by there where I'm gonna spend the night tonight I'm gonna organize the truck a little bit because I might finally have a little bit of time to do some organizing Life is so busy. There's always always something to do I don't I'm not just joking around when I say that it's always something. There's always something to do It's not a bad thing either. It's just sometimes there's some things that really need to get done and they get neglected Like my poor truck See if I can get this address pulled up here That's not spelled correctly. Ah, there it is There it is Duluth Duluth. Okay. How far away are we? 174 kilometers. That's about 110 miles Proceed to the highlighted route Indeed Okay, so two hours two hours and I'm gonna go to that quick trip that I was talking about So I sent in my paperwork Assigned a bill of ladings proof of delivery Oops for all my window is open I have to slam my door pretty hard to get it to close when the windows are closed because the air pressure in there But I leave the window open sometimes and then I Empty trailer in case you didn't believe me in case you think I'm a liar. How dare you wouldn't lie to you We got a empty tandem Flatbed here tandem means there's two axles Fixed axles. I can't slide these so I have to be very careful how I load freight. I know you need a bath blue I feel so bad We'll get there Like I was saying just a few minutes ago. It's just the last couple of weeks have felt Like I'm just constantly rushing rushing rushing And the rest of this month is pretty packed full of stuff too later on in this month. We have a few special things going on I'm taking a flight Going to a special event I'll talk more about that as the time draws near. So there's that I'll only be there for a day. So Go on Flying out special event coming back. Then it's my son's first birthday. It's a big day. It's gonna be great I'm gonna have a we have a party on the weekend too It's first year's one-year-old one-year-old birthday party. Super excited about that. Oh, we've had this IVF stuff going on so my life behind the scenes of trucking has been Has been filled up with all kinds of stuff, but it's all happy stuff. It's all happy stuff So all blue Your cleanliness has been neglected a little bit and I apologize. I am sorry I'll make up for it. I'll make up for it. I Got a comment the other day obviously someone who is new to the channel saying oh this guy talks to his GPS He talks to his truck. He must be crazy Welcome here, and yes, I am crazy. Thank you. Thank you for noticing. I am a weird guy And that's why you watch me, right? That's why you came here It's nice out here. It's so much nicer here than it was at home. Look at that beautiful All right, it's time to go get a coffee And head down the road. Talk to you a little bit. Talk to you in a little bit I'll talk to you a little bit in a bit But it's out of the way There was at least six or seven spots taken up by drop trailers and local trucks that are probably just You guys probably just went home for the night And left their trucks here taking up a spot Which is whatever No rule or anything saying they can't do that I guess right But it does leave us highway guys at a disadvantage because then we have nowhere to park And we can't just go home and sleep in our own bed when we're out here That's okay So we have a spot to sleep We'll be just fine. It was a good day drove about 730 kilometers today Just under 500 miles Beautiful clear night, and we're ready to load up tomorrow. We'll be loading Casted, I think it's called casted steel It'll be heavy on the deck here tied down and bring it back to Manitoba Till I'm gonna start moving and we'll give me some time to organize in here And get a good night's sleep So I'm on this Intermittent fasting. I wouldn't call it a diet. I don't like going on diets. I Don't like having to watch every single calorie that I eat. It's I'd rather rather do this Haven't tried it before but it's really working I've been doing this for a week now where I only eat for eight hours of the day and Then I fast or I don't eat for 16 hours now That's overnight. So most of the time you're fasting you're sleeping and you don't realize that you're hungry, right? So you don't have to sit there all day just starving. You're sleeping. That doesn't matter as much So if I stop eating at five o'clock that means I can start eating again at 9 a.m. The next day or like today I believe I stopped eating at 630 right So 16 hours from 630 I can start eating at 630 789 10 30 10 30 tomorrow morning. I can eat again, which isn't bad, right? I'll wake up probably around with 530 Run over there get loaded. I can still drink water and stuff. So I'll have a water keep something in my stomach Go there grab my load Get tied down You know, I'll get a little bit down the road and then 10 30 I can have my breakfast. So it's He's really been working out well for me and in the last week. I've lost six pounds And this has been the only thing that has actually worked for me to lose weight since before our wedding Remember I lost 30 pounds before our wedding And since then I've been sort of Blooting out as we do as we all do and I haven't been able to find motivation or any Routine or anything that worked for me, especially being on the road trucking It's hard to get into a regular routine. You can't just stop and Have a full workout Anyway, though there are ways to do it, but I run such a tight schedule that I just don't have a lot of time It's a big thing. I don't have a lot of time for this so Fasting for 16 hours a day Eating for eight hours of the day. So you still get your nutrients You just got to make sure you eat well during those eight hours Get all the nutrients your body needs and everything eats and eat a lot of fruit vegetables Make sure that you're putting good stuff in your body And then overnight your body burns off that fat or burns off extra fat. It's been working for me So I've been really happy with that Continue this until hopefully it keeps going down. I want to get down to below 200 pounds I'm at 221 pounds now down from 227 a week ago. I think that's pretty good progress in a week and At this rate and it'd be a couple of months and I'll be down to my goal weight of below 200 I'd like to get between hundred eighty hundred ninety one eighty five would be nice. No lower than 180 But below 200 for sure. Anyways, you guys don't care about this. This is sort of me just Filling you in on what's going on in my life. That's what the vlog is about, right?
